At least one of the All-Ireland Club senior hurling semi-finals is set to go ahead on Sunday December 18, the day of the FIFA World Cup final.

A wedding in St Thomas’ on December 17 is expected to push the Galway winners’ last-four game against Ulster champions Dunloy or Slaughtneil to the following day.
