Kilkenny is the only team guaranteed a place in the All-Ireland series, thanks to Leinster GAA’s head-to-head ‘League Points’ rule.
As the Leinster GAA Hurling Senior Championship reaches its crucial final rounds, several scenarios could play out, determining the fate of Kilkenny, Wexford, Galway, and Dublin when it comes to the provincial final.
Key Scenarios:
If Kilkenny Loses to Wexford and Galway Draws with Dublin:
- Kilkenny, Wexford, and Galway would each have six points.
- Kilkenny’s superior head-to-head results would secure their spot in the Leinster Final, with Dublin being eliminated.
Kilkenny’s Qualification:
- A draw or win against Wexford ensures Kilkenny a place in the Leinster Final.
Wexford’s Qualification:
- Wexford qualifies for the Leinster Final with a win against Kilkenny.
- A draw would also suffice for Wexford if Galway and Dublin draw.
Galway and Dublin:
- A win for either team guarantees a place in the Leinster Final, irrespective of the Kilkenny vs. Wexford result.
If Both Kilkenny and Galway Win:
- Scoring difference will decide whether Dublin or Wexford finishes third. Currently, Wexford has a +9 advantage over Dublin.
If Kilkenny and Wexford Draw:
- The winner of the Dublin vs. Galway match joins Kilkenny in the Leinster Final, with Wexford finishing third.
