Semple stadium to host hurling quarter-finals

Semple Stadium in Thurles has been chosen as the venue for next weekend's GAA All-Ireland senior hurling quarter-finals, following a meeting of the GAA's Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) at Croke Park today.

The mouth-watering south east pairing of Wexford and Waterford will be the first of Sunday's quarter-finals at 2pm, and that game will be followed by the all-Munster clash of Cork and Clare (throw-in 4pm).
