The way has been cleared for the Kilkenny SHC semi-finals.

Champions Clara will face Carrickshock while St Martin’s (Muckalee) take on in-form Ballyhale Shamrocks in a big double-header in Nowlan Park on Sunday.

Attendances have been showing a post All-Ireland final boom, with the quarter-finals between Shamrocks Ballyhale and Danesfort and Carrickshock and Rower-Inistioge attracting massive crowds.
