Replying To Paull:  "Its very silly format IMO .
I can tell you now barring huge upsets we will play Galway in one semi final and Dublin will play Kilkenny in the other."
Glad you agree with me about the format but your prediction for the semi-finals is actually the one thing that can't happen.

Kilkenny and Dublin are in Group 1. Wexford and Galway are in Group 2. Top two in each group go through, with winners of Group 1 playing runner-up of Group 2, and vice versa.

Kilkenny v Wexford and Dublin v Galway are likely semi-finals all right. And as it happens, they're also the matches in Round 3 of the "group games that aren't really group games", to be played on Saturday May 2, so you could have the exact same line-up in semi-finals just one week later, on Saturday May 9. Hardly ideal or sensible either!

Where does it say that winner in one group is playing the runner up in the other?
