It's the last weekend of group games in the Allianz Hurling League and there’s plenty left up for decision, in particular in Division 1A where 5 counties will battle it out for 3 quarter final spots.

Galway, Kilkenny, Dublin, Waterford and Tipperary fight it out for the remaining three quarter-final spots.

Clare have already confirmed their place in the last 8, regardless of the outcome of their match against Galway this afternoon at Cusack Park in Ennis.

Galway will be looking for at least a draw in that game, however, as that would be enough to see them through, though they can still qualify even if they lose.

Kilkenny take on Waterford at Nowlan Park, with a place in the last 8 awaiting the winners.

Both sides could end up either in the quarter finals or a relegation play off, depending on results today.
Tipperary need a win against Dublin at Semple Stadium this afternoon if they're to avoid a relegation play-off. A win for either side could see them into the last 8.

 

In Division 1B, Cork, Limerick, Wexford and Laois have already secured their quarter-final places.

The promotion place is still up for grabs, however, with Cork, Limerick and Wexford all in contention to go up.

Cork play Wexford at Pairc Ui Rinn, knowing a win would see them guaranteed promotion.

Wexford need to win that game to have any chance of going up.

If Wexford do win, then it leaves the door open for Limerick to get the promotion spot.

They face Laois at O'Moore Park in Portlaoise this afternoon.

At the other end of the table, Antrim meet Offaly meet in Tullamore in a dead-rubber tie, as both sides are already condemned to meeting each other in the relegation play-off later this month.

All games throw in at 2pm.
