The Masita All-Ireland Post-Primary Schools Hurling Championships reach the semi-final stages this Saturday, with seven games taking place across the country.
The battle for a place in the Croke Cup final in Croke Park on St Patrick’s Day sees Munster champions Nenagh CBS take on a St Kieran’s College side that defeated Galway’s St Raphael’s College in the quarter-finals two weeks ago.
That game will be hosted by the Rathdowney GAA Club in Laois at 12 noon.
An hour later in Kilbeacanty, St Flannan’s from Ennis face-off against Connacht champions Presentation Athenry at 1pm in another intriguing contest.
The B semi-finals see St Patrick’s Maghera and Colaiste Abhainn RÃ from Kilkenny meet in Longford; while Tulla hosts the meeting of Tralee CBS and Portumna Community School.
