The Allianz Hurling League Division 1 quarter-final pairings are now known following today's final round of regulation games.
All-Ireland champions Galway, whose defeat to Limerick consigns them to another season in Division 1B, will travel to Innovate Wexford Park to take on Wexford in what is arguably the pick of the quarter-finals.
Division 1A table-toppers Tipperary will travel to Dublin because of a home and away arrangement between the two counties, while the venues for the other quarter-finals between Kilkenny and Offaly, and Clare and Division 1B winners Limerick will be determined by a coin toss.
The games will be played next weekend, with the dates and times to be confirmed by the CCCC tomorrow afternoon.
Meanwhile, Waterford and Cork will contest the Division 1A relegation playoff at a Cork venue next weekend, while Laois and Antrim will face off in the Division 1B relegation decider with the winners of the Division 2A final between Westmeath and Carlow replacing them in the second tier next year.
