Tipperary v Kilkenny: What time, what channel and all you need to know about the All-Ireland SHC semi-final
"A clash of the old gladiators" is how Anthony Daly put it.
Tipperary are on the crest of a wave, with underage success already in the bag following the under-20s win, and Liam Cahill's seniors have built momentum through their Munster campaign and comfortable wins over Laois and Galway en route to their showdown with the Cats.
Derek Lyng's Kilkenny have enjoyed a lengthy break, having won their sixth straight Leinster title. Expectation, as ever, in Kilkenny will be silverware.
The expected return of Eoin Cody certainly will significantly help themthem in their aim of securing that, but first they must negotiate this Tipperary task.

Dublin make two changes for All-Ireland semi-final meeting with Cork
NIALL Ó CEALLACHÁIN has made two changes to his starting Dublin side to face Cork in Saturday's All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship semi-final. Conor Donohoe and Darragh Power come into the Dubs' XV, with Chris Crummey and Diarmaid Ó Dúlaing making way. Donohoe returns from suspension to start in midfield in place of Crummey, who is himself suspended following his red card in Dublin's stunning quarter-final success over Limerick. With Power chosen to start at half-forward, Ó Dúlaing takes a spot on the bench where Conal Ó Riain has also replaced James Madden. Advertisement Power forward John Hetherton has not been named to start for Saturday's encounter, which will see the Dubs line out at the semi-final stage for the first time since 2013 when they were incidentally beaten by the Rebels in a close, thrilling affair.

Best golf courses in Co Louth: Bucket list courses and hidden gems from Baltray to Ardee
Bucket Lists The drive from Drogheda along the River Boyne to the village of Baltray is one which heightens expectations of what awaits at the mouth of the river. County Louth Golf Club – a fine, traditional links – has earned its place among the top courses in the country . Originally designed in the 1890s by a Scottish professional with the wonderful name of Mr Snowball, the man most responsible for leaving his imprint on this seaside course – where Shane Lowry won the Irish Open as an amateur in 2009 – was the noted golf course architect Tom Simpson and his assistant Molly Gourlay. [ Fairways to Heaven - Ireland's Ultimate Golf Guide Opens in new window ] The links itself is a true test from start-to-finish, as it weaves its way in different directions but still consists of two loops. The most dramatic run of holes comes on the back nine, with the run from the 10th to 13th comprising arguably the best sequence of four successive par-fours anywhere. The 14th is the shortest of the par-fours but one of the best, playing from the elevated tee with the final destination of a green planted into the sand hills. In every sense, Baltray – the traditional home of the men's East of Ireland championship – is a links that will reward and captivate, while being at all times challenging. Its clever design, utilising the terrain that is primarily flat before delving into the sand hills from the 12th to the 14th, entices and demands attention on every shot. READ MORE The 17th hole prior to the Irish Legends 2023 at Seapoint Golf Club in 2023. Photograph:As part of the bucket list, it is worth factoring in a round at the adjacent Seapoint links – designed by Des Smyth and Declan Branigan – which has matured wonderfully, especially the back nine which takes in views of the Irish Sea from a number of vantage points. The best is probably left to last at Seapoint. The 18th hole running along the coastline back to the clubhouse where the spirit of the 19th hole welcome is very much in play. Co Louth Golf Club, Baltray, Drogheda, Co Louth, A92 HK03; 041-9881530 Seapoint Golf Club, Termonfeckin, Co Louth; 041-9822333; email: ed@ Hidden Gem Greenore is a long established course dating back to the 1890s but remains one of those hidden gems, primarily because its location on the Cooley peninsula overlooking Carlingford Lough ... but it is very much worth discovering as a fine test of golf in a wonderful setting with views across to the Mournes. Wind, given its location, is invariably a factor but the layout is open with the challenge set before the player off the tee with no hidden surprises. Although flat, the loughside course has its challenges with tidal water in play, most notably on the sixth and seventh holes. The tee to the Par 3 sixth is located on a disused railway line and plays downhill to the green, while it is followed by a demanding Par 4 with a tee shot over water. Greenore Golf Club, Greenore, Dundalk; 042-9373212 Honourable Mentions Dundalk Golf Club is a classic parkland course with a reputation for its wonderful greens. Located above the picturesque village of Blackrock, the treelined course has three distinct segments with an opening stretch of four tough Par 4s, then a stretch to the 12th that includes four Par 5s and a tough finishing run all the way to the 18th which is known as 'Harrington's Challenge,' in honour of three-time Major champion Pádraig Harrington who won the Dundalk Scratch Cup in 1995. Dundalk Golf Club, Blackrock, Dundalk, County Louth; 042-9321731; email: manager@ Ardee Golf Club has matured into a lovely tree-lined course and, with the Tain Trail part of the local history, has connections with Cuchulainn in the names of the 1st (Cuchulainn's Crown) and the seventh (Ferdia). The stretch of holes from the 11th to the 14th is very demanding, with the short 13th that has water in play from tee to green showcasing the picturesque nature of the entire layout.
