What will be the All-Ireland final pairing? POLL

The semi-final ties are a repeat from last year’s championship where Limerick and Kilkenny secured their Liam McCarthy match up.

The final pairing in the 2023 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship will be confirmed this weekend with four being reduced to two.

On Saturday, Limerick and Galway take to the field in Croke Park with Kilkenny and Clare meeting the following afternoon.

The ties are a repeat from last year’s championship where Limerick and Kilkenny secured their Liam McCarthy match up. That was their first meeting in the final since 2007 where the Cats retained their title.

If Limerick and Clare are to come through their respective contest, they will meet for the first time ever in the decider. Clare have also never met Galway in the final. Kilkenny and Galway faced off in the decider as recently as 2015 when the Cats made it three successive final wins over the Tribesmen (2012 and 1993 also). In total the Leinster rivals have been paired in six finals where Kilkenny have won five.

With the potential final pairings reduced to four, we want you to have your say on who will reach the final this weekend.

  • Limerick v Kilkenny
  • Limerick v Clare
  • Clare v Galway
  • Kilkenny v Galway
