Galway likely to be waiting as Tipp and Waterford bid for final spot

SHORTLY before 5pm tomorrow either Tipperary or Waterford will book their place in the NHL final on May 9 — with Galway the likely opponents.

As Clare will have played Cork and the Tribesmen will have hosted Limerick before the ball is thrown in at Semple Stadium, Ken Hogan's side will know exactly what is required of them to progress.

A draw will suit Waterford, as they are unbeaten after two rounds in the second phase. Galway, Limerick, Tipperary and Clare have only one win to their credit and Cork are pointless.
