Tipperary looking to make hay against understrength Saffrons

Tipperary cemented top spot with a gritty draw against Kilkenny at UPMC Nowlan Park last Saturday but three into two doesn't go so they were the unlucky top seeds not to progress directly to the semi-finals.

After just missing out on the knockout stages for the first time in eight years 12 months ago on score difference, they will be striving to follow up a campaign that has also included a Munster championship success by returning to the last four, which they reached in 2021.

In contrast to last year, the Premier have a clean bill of health, which is not something that can be said for Antrim, who are down a catalogue of top-class operators including the prodigious Maeve Kelly and experienced Chloe Drain, though skipper Lucia McNaughton is easing her way back into action.

Unfamilar territory for the Cats and the Rebels

A repeat of last year's All-Ireland final, this is the juiciest quarter-final for quite some time. It means that this will be the first Championship since 2012 when one of Galway, Cork and Kilkenny will not qualify for the semis.

On that occasion, it was the Cats that missed out. They go into this as All-Ireland champions but have clearly not been firing on all cylinders. They did finish the group with a battling draw against Tipperary.

Cork have fared better, reaching the Very League final but it represented a fourth consecutive loss in a national decider. They lost to Galway for the third time this year in their group, consigning them to runners-up, while Kilkenny are in the same position after also drawing with Wexford.
