A host of All-Star players, All-Ireland winners and hurling legends will be on hand to analyse all the action over the two games.

Thomas Niblock introduces the action on Saturday from 5.30pm with throw-in at 6pm from Croke Park as Galway look to overturn last year’s semi-final result to Limerick. Sarah Mulkerrins provides all the latest news and updates from pitchside while Oisin Langan will be on commentary alongside Ulster Hurling legend Neil McManus who has recently retired after a glittering 17-year career.

On Sunday, (Kilkenny v Clare) four-time All-Ireland winner and four-time All Star, former Kilkenny corner back, Paul Murphy, joins Wexford captain and 2019 All Star Lee Chin for analysis of the game alongside Neil McManus in studio.
