  1. Here for the hurling

    Galway v Limerick (18:00)

    Hello and welcome to what promises to be a fantastic weekend of hurling on the BBC.

    It's an All-Ireland semi-final double-header at Croke Park, with both matches live on BBC Two Northern Ireland and BBC iPlayer - with live text commentaries, in-play clips, reports, reaction and highlights on the BBC Sport website and app.

    This year's provincial finals served up two memorable games, and with all four finalists completing this year's All-Ireland semi-final line-up, we look set for an exhilarating weekend of action down at GAA headquarters.

    There is Leinster champions Kilkenny taking on Clare to look forward to tomorrow, but this evening it is Munster champions Limerick and Galway that take centre stage.

    The Shannonsiders' are aiming to win the title for a fourth year in a row but Galway will be determined to stop that happening.

    It all gets underway at 18:00 BST - stay with us for more build-up ahead of throw-in.
