THE FIRST OF this year’s All-Ireland hurling semi-finals takes place today in Croke Park with places in the September deciders on offer.

Predictably enough Kilkenny teams feature heavily with their senior and minor sides having carried off a Leinster double last month.

Kilkenny are aiming to retain their All-Ireland senior and minor crowns this year with Waterford and Galway respectively standing in their way on Sunday.
