THE STAGE IS set.
The champions again the team who — more than any other side in recent hurling history — know what it takes to climb the mountain.
Will it be Limerick or Kilkenny who book their place in the All-Ireland final on 18 August?
Since bringing Liam MacCarthy home for the first time in 45 years, John Kiely’s Treatymen have added the league and Munster titles to hold all the silverware.
Now they have their sights set on finishing out the Grand Slam and marching up the steps of the Hogan Stand again in a few short weeks.
But first, they must overcome a Kilkenny side who, smarting from their Leinster final reverse at the hands of Wexford, blew Cork off the park in a stunning second half to take their place in the final four.
No further warning needed.
Throw-in is at 6pm.
Who will win today’s All-Ireland SHC semi-final – Limerick or Kilkenny?
