Kilkenny will host Limerick this Saturday at Nowlan Park in the plum tie of Round 1 of the All-Ireland SHC Qualifiers.

It's a repeat of the hard-fought 2014 All-Ireland Semi-Final the two teams contested, but there's plenty of water under the bridge since then with both teams featuring a lot of new personnel.

The rest of the big-guns were kept apart in the draw, with Tipperary at home to Westmeath, Waterford travelling to Offaly, and Dublin hosting Laois.
