After a riveting Leinster final on Saturday that saw Galway destroy an up-and-coming Dublin side, and a one point Limerick win over Cork, we’re all asking the same question: Just when are the quarter-finals?
Firstly, which six teams are left? In Munster we have Clare, Limerick and Cork and in Leinster we have Galway, Dublin and Offaly. Surprise for some to see no Kilkenny and no Tipperary in this years knockout stages!
With Galway becoming Leinster champions on Saturday, they automatically secure a semi-final place, and Limerick are now also secured in the other semi-final bracket thanks to that controversial ending.
So Cork will play the third ranked team in Leinster, Offaly. And Dublin will play the third ranked Munster team, Clare.
Here’s an exact breakdown:
Sunday 7th of June – Cork v Limerick Munster Final
Weekend 20-10 of June – Clare v Dublin & Offaly v Cork
Saturday 4th of July – Galway v quarter-final winner
Sunday 5th of July – Limerick v quarter-final winner
Sunday 19th of July- All Ireland Final
