Semi-final could see repeat of 2003 classic

Cork and Wexford could be set for a repeat of last year's classic All-Ireland semi-final meetings following the Guinness All-Ireland Hurling Championship draw at the weekend.

The draw, made on Sunday, puts Cork - victors against Tipperary in Killarney - up against Antrim in the All-Ireland quarter-finals.

If Cork beat Antrim they will have to be kept apart from Waterford in the semi-final as the teams have already met. In that case, Cork would play Wexford.

Cork beat Wexford in a replay at Croke Park after the sides finished level in an epic semi-final.

If Antrim beat Cork, they could be drawn against Waterford or Wexford.

Meanwhile if Kilkenny reach the semi-final, they would be kept apart from Wexford, whom they have already met. Kilkenny demolished Galway in the most impressive display of the weekend.

If Offaly reach the semi-final, they would meet Waterford, as they have already played Wexford.

If Clare reach the semi-final, they would play Wexford, as they already played Waterford in the Munster championship.

Clare and Offaly meet this weekend.
