Clare, Kilkenny, Cork, and Limerick. One of these four teams will be crowned All-Ireland Senior Hurling Champions this year. But there's just the small matter of who gets to contest for the championship in Croke Park on July 21.
Kilkenny will play Clare on Saturday in Croke Park in an All-Ireland Senior Hurling Semi-Final. The two sides are peaking at the right time, it'll be a very hard-fought close battle between the Banner and the Cats as they try to make the final. It Is the third successive year that these two sides will meet in the semi-finals, with Kilkenny beating Clare on both prior occasions. In terms of the bigger picture, Kilkenny have won the last four championship meetings between the sides.

However, when it comes to the championship, Clare haven't beaten Kilkenny since 1997. Is this the year that Brian Lohan's men get over the Kilkenny hump?Where is the game on?
