A TRIPLE HEADER of GAA qualifier action will take place in Semple Stadium next Saturday.
Cork and Limerick fans will get to see both their county teams in action while the hurling supporters of Clare and Wexford will also have a keen interest.
The Round 2B football qualifier between Cork, who lost out to Tipperary in the Munster semi-final, and Limerick, winners over Antrim last time out, will throw-in at 3pm.
That will be followed by the two Round 2 hurling qualifier clashes at 5pm and 7pm, pairings that were known after this morning’s draw.
Cork saw off Dublin in Páirc Uí Rinn on Saturday and will now take on a Wexford team fresh from their success over Offaly.
Then the main event will be the showdown between Clare and Limerick, who defeated Laois and Westmeath respectively.

It will be the second year in succession that a triple-header will take place at Semple Stadium. Last summer the Tipperary Louth football tie was followed by hurling battles that took place between Limerick and Dublin, and Cork and Clare.
