The GAA has been permitted to welcome 3,500 fans at the Gaelic Grounds and 4,400 at Semple Stadium this Saturday for the hurling qualifiers.

Earlier on Thursday, the capacities for the two games were capped at 500 each, despite the two venues having hosted much larger numbers in recent weeks.

As part of a live double-header on Sky Sports Arena on Saturday afternoon, Waterford are up against Galway in Thurles, before Clare and Cork meet in Limerick.
