GAA weekend preview: Provincial football semi-finals and big name hurling clashes
The provincial football championships reach semi-final stages in Ulster and Leinster this weekend, while in hurling there is the tempting proposition of a hot-blooded local clash as Limerick face neighbours Clare on Saturday evening at 7pm.
That's certain to be an entertaining warm-up for hurling fans ahead of Sunday's games between Kilkenny and Galway, and Cork against Waterford, both of which are being shown on RTÉ2.
The weekend's senior football clashes begin with Derry against Monaghan on Saturday at 7pm in Omagh. Then on Sunday, Down meet Armagh in Clones at 4pm.
In Leinster, the two semi-finals take place on Sunday at Croke Park with a doubleheader of Offaly against Louth at 1.45pm, followed by Kildare against Dublin at 4pm. Both are being shown on GAAGo.
