The provincial hurling championships have served up a feast of action so far this season, and it’s set to continue this weekend with the final round-robin games in both Munster and Leinster.
In each case, the top two counties will qualify for their respective provincial final, while the third-placed team goes through to the All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final.
In Leinster, Kilkenny, Wexford, Dublin and Galway all remain in contention to progress in some form.
Although there’s no such chance for Antrim and Carlow, who meet on Sunday, the fixture will decide who gets relegated to the Joe McDonagh Cup for next season.
In Munster, four of the five counties have something to play for.
A win for Limerick, Clare or Waterford would see them through to the Munster final, while Cork, who have a bye, are also in the running to progress to the latter stages of the season.
All eyes will be on the Gaelic Grounds on Sunday, as a win for Davy Fitzgerald’s side (in addition to a win for Clare against Tipperary) would see the All-Ireland champions’ summer come to an early end.
The All-Ireland Football Championship also continues, with one game across each of the four groups taking place on Saturday.
