The five-in-a-row Galway champions against the four-in-a-row Antrim champions for a place in the All-Ireland Club SHC Final. The opening salvo in a monumental double-bill of hurling at GAA Headquarters could be every bit as enthralling as the game that follows.
The clash between defending champions Ballygunner and beaten finalists Ballyhale is the second part of the double-header, but is preceded by Dunloy versus St Thomas’.
The Cuchullain’s ended Slaughtneil’s reign as Ulster champions following a hard-earned provincial success last month while St Thomas’ needed a replay to overcome Loughrea in the Galway decider.
