Teams want to remain or get promoted to that top table because they know how important it is to be playing in the top flight in order to prepare for the upcoming championship in the summer. This weekend sees massive powerhouses take each other on like Tipperary vs Galway, Cork vs Kilkenny, Waterford vs Clare, and Limerick vs Westmeath. There is a host of hurling outside of the top division as well, and everything you need to know about this weekend's action will be right here. Related links:
