This Saturday’s Leinster SHC semi-finals have been moved from Portlaoise to Croke Park where 8,000 supporters will be accommodated.

The decision by the Leinster Council to switch the games from MW Hire O’Moore Park means 7,600 more fans will be able to attend the Galway v Dublin and Kilkenny v Wexford matches.
