CRITICS OF DUBLIN GAA often give out about the fact that the team gets to play a disproportionate amount of games at ‘home’ in Croke Park but Ger Cunningham’s hurlers won’t have that luxury in the National Hurling League Division 1 semi-finals.
Nowlan Park in Kilkenny will host both semi-finals on Sunday 19 April with Dublin playing Cork at 2pm and Tipperary and Waterford clashing at 4pm.
Dublin advanced to the penultimate stage of the league after a comprehensive 1-25 to 0-16 win over Limerick at Croke Park on Saturday night while Cork booked their final four spot after edging Wexford by 0-18 to 0-14 at home yesterday.
Waterford arguably impressed the most in their quarter-final, easing to an eight-point win against Galway by a scoreline of 0-20 to 0-12.
Tipperary joined them but made life very difficult for themselves, having two men sent off in their 1-16 to 0-13 victory against Offaly.
Here are the National Hurling League final fixtures for the other four divisions:
