Here’s the Leinster SHC draw for 2018:
And here’s the Munster SHC draw for 2018:
DUBLIN VERSUS KILKENNY and Clare v Cork are among the early standout ties in the 2018 Hurling Championship.
With Pat Gilroy recently named the new Dublin hurling manager, he faces a stiff early test against Brian Cody’s men, while another new appointment, John Meyler, will see his Cork side come up against Clare
It is the first year of the revamped round-robin format, which is set for a three-year term, after the proposal was passed last month at the GAA’s Special Congress in Croke Park.
The proposal will play the five-team Munster and Leinster championships on a round-robin basis. The new system means the top two teams in each provincial group face-off in the provincial final, while the third placed teams advance to the All-Ireland quarter-finals.
The bottom two teams in either group play-off to reach the quarter-finals. The quarter-final winners play the provincial champions in the All-Ireland semi-finals.
More details on how this new format will work are included in the video below.

Delighted for him! Must feel on top of the world, with all the abuse he gets too
Brilliant from him, onwards and upwards
Bouncing back when down. That’s what it’s all about!!
Good player loads of movement
Congratulations Adam.
Well done.
Up Cork!
As an Everton fan, it’s another dreadful result, but delighted for Adam Idah. Hopefully this is the catalyst to more goals and the end of the loan move rumours.
Will Rafa still be in charge by Monday or will it be Big Dunc?
@Aidan Prior: rafa, like Mourinho is yesterdays man.
@Brian Dunne: yip. Only good thing he did was bring in two wingers with pace.
@Aidan Prior: He’s been sacked. Announcement tonight.
@Fergus O’Connor: where did you hear that?
Moshiri pays the wages so he can appoint who he wants, but obviously he doesn’t understand the fabric of the club when he appointed Benitez. I am all for supporting the manager, but some of his decisions lately have been baffling. Rondon is no better than Tosun, neither should be Everton players. Coleman has been struggling any game I have watched, he gave the ball away cheaply for Idah goal again today. Playing him left back and on right side of 3 centre backs was crazy by Rafa. Kenny/Paterson surely have to play. We need Pickford, Mina, Gomez, Townsend, Allen, Richie, etc to step up now and get out out of this hole, we need to get DCL fit and sharp, we need to stop conceding the bloody first goal all the time. If I could walk away I would but I can’t as I’m in love. Nil Satis Nil Optimum
