Tipperary have been drawn against Clare in the All-Ireland hurling quarter-finals, while Waterford will meet Wexford.

Reigning All-Ireland champions Tipp looked back to their best on Saturday as they destroyed Dublin, while Clare will be looking to bounce back from defeat in the Munster final to Clare on Sunday.

Davy Fitzgerald will lead Wexford, who were beaten by Galway in the Leinster final, against his former side Waterford, who rallied impressively on Saturday to knock Kilkenny out of the championship.

The games are expected to take place in Páirc Uí Chaoimh on the weekend of July 22/23 but venues, times and dates for all fixtures will not be confirmed until a meeting of Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) on Monday evening.

The newly-redeveloped, 45,000-capacity Páirc Uí Chaoimh was slated to host the Munster football final between Cork and Clare but was not yet ready. The venue will instead host its first game next Sunday when Glen Rovers and Cork IT meet in the Cork senior hurling championship.
