Does anyone know for sure how the hurling semi-final draw works? If Galway beat Clare, do they play Limerick because they've played Dublin already? Likewise, if Cork beat Kilkenny, then they can't play Limerick? I assume if Kilkenny and Galway both win, then there'll have to be a draw, as both have played the Dubs?

Teams tht met in provincial finals cannot play each other again but teams that met prior to that can so if Kilkenny and Galway win Dublin will be playing Kilkenny due to playing Galway in leinster decider

Some people are convionced that Limerick are playing the Galway / Clare winners but I think a draw is needed. Is the semi final draw not being made until after the Quarter Finals then? as depending on the Q/F results a draw may not be needed, if either Gaway or Cork win?

why wasnt there a draw done for the hurling quarter finals?
the only pairing that couldnt have happened was cork v clare.
so why was it just decided that cork would play kilkenny?
surely they could have played galway aswell

If Galway beat Clare and Cork beat Cats, there has to be a draw. If Clare beat Galway and Kilkenny beat Cork, there has to be a draw. If Galway beat Clare then regardless of other result the winner gets Dubs.

Cork and Galway couldn't meet as they were the 2 beaten provincial finalists.

If Cork win (a big IF), we cannot play Limerick the next time out so we will have you. That would be great. Hopefully we would get a similar atmosphere to the 2010 football semi-final (and a similar result!). The only combination that is likely to produce a draw for the semi-finals are wins for Kilkenny and Clare (even then Dublin should have to play Clare as they already met Kilkenny).

urhavinalaugh ironically enough what you say makes sense. so does that mean that if clare and kilkenny win there will have to be a draw as neither of them were in a provincial final against the 2 semi finalists?

Limerick played Waterford in the munster final and then played them again in the All Ireland semi final in 2007 so they could play cork again or has the rules changed since then could some one tell me.

they change these things frequently enough so i presume it has been changed in the last 7 years.
bennybunny do you know for sure if there will be a draw if both kilkenny and clare win or will kilkenny definitely play galway in that situation

limerick didnt play waterford in munster final that year it was a semi final or first round match the sides met thus leading to why they were allowed meet in an all ireland semi final.
just like dublin can meet kilkenny in an all ireland semi final if it works out

I don't think there should be a draw, regardless of whether the provincial runner-ups go out or not. The winners of Kilkenny v Cork should meet Dublin, with Galway or Clare meeting Limerick, as you can't leave the door open to a repeat of provincial finals. I'm aware that Kilkenny already played Dublin, but better to have a repeat of that than a match that's just taken place. There has to be clarity on who is playing who at this stage.

disagree,why have games decided before quarter finals take place?
limerick only cannot play cork and dublin only cannot play galway so if kilkenny and clare win i cannot see why a draw should not take place as dublin and limerick can play either

They did play the final in 2007 Waterford won 3 17 to 1 14 it was the last time limerick contested a munster final before yesterday dan the man had a stormer that day scored a hatrick of goals if my memory serves me right.

Ted, I'm hugely confused.....

Maybe you're right actually. I think it happened in 2006 when Waterford and Clare won their quarter-finals. Kilkenny and Cork were kept apart as provincial winners, facing one of the other two.
