The GAA can confirm the referees for next weekend's All-Ireland SHC Semi-Finals at Croke Park.

On Saturday evening (6pm) at GAA headquarters Wexford official James Owens will take charge of Limerick's clash against Galway. That game forms part of a double header with Antrim versus Tipperary in the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship Quarter-Final between Antrim and Tipperary.

The following afternoon (4pm) the All-Ireland SHC Semi-Final involving Kilkenny and Clare will be refereed by Cork's Colm Lyons. At 1.30pm on Sunday Cork face Kilkenny in what promises to be an interesting Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship Quarter-Final.
