Limerick and Kilkenny will enjoy home advantage in this weekend’s Allianz Hurling League semi-finals.
Owing to home and away arrangements between the counties, Tipperary will have to make the trip to the TUS Gaelic Grounds to face the All-Ireland champions on Saturday night, while Cork will go to UPMC Nowlan Park the following afternoon.
Both games will be broadcast live on TG4.
Elsewhere, the Division One relegation play-off between Westmeath and Laois is to be played at FBD Semple Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
O’Connor Park in Tullamore would ordinarily be the more obvious venue for the fixture but that will host the Division 2A semi-final between Offaly and Kerry on the same day, with the winners going through to play Kildare in the final.
