‘Opportunity knocks' for Louth and Meath
With Dublin dethroned, Meath and Louth face a once-in-a-generation opportunity in Sunday's Leinster final - a genuine 50/50 contest that neither side can afford to lose as the Royals seek to cement their revival and the Wee County aims to end a 68-year drought
Sunday will mark just the second occasion in 21 years that a Leinster Senior Football Championship final has gone ahead without Dublin involvement – 2010 et al.
Ahead of last season's championship, provincial chairman Derek Kent spoke of the competition being 'alive and kicking' despite Dessie Farrell's side being on course for a 14th consecutive triumph, a feat they would ultimately achieve.

Camogie Championship Round 3: All you need to know
SATURDAY Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Championship Group 1 Clare v Limerick, Zimmer Biomet Páirc Chíosóg, 2pm Wexford v Tipperary, Chadwicks Wexford, 4pm Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Championship Group 2 Dublin v Kilkenny, Parnell Park, 2pm Waterford v Derry, Walsh Park, 4pm ONLINE You'll find score updates and match reports on RTÉ Sport Online and RTÉ News app. Dublin v Kilkenny live on Camogie Association YouTube channel. RADIO Score updates on RTÉ Radio 1's Saturday Sport. WEATHER Saturday: After a wet start to the day, cloud and rain will gradually clear eastwards leaving a mix of showers and sunny spells for Saturday. Highest temperatures of 12 to 15 degrees in moderate to fresh and occasionally strong northwest winds. for more go to Group 1 Clare v Limerick Billed in some quarters as a preliminary quarter-final, and while that may be a tad premature, with both teams having beaten Wexford, the winner of the Shannon derby will have a foot and a half in the knockout stages. Clare prevailed by nine points at this venue in the League and are coming into this off a bye after accounting for the Yellowbellies in their opener, while Limerick are playing their third game in a fortnight, having recovered from a 38-point loss to Cork by edging out the Model County. Wexford v Tipperary Tipperary need to get a win on the board after failing to land any sort of blow on Cork in their first game last weekend, having had a bye in the opening round. Wexford are 0 for 2 and given those games were against Clare and Limerick, the counties they would have been perceived to be rivalling for the third knockout berth from this group, they are up against it and must win this to have any chance of advancing. Defeat and they will almost certainly booked for a relegation play-off. Group 2 Dublin v Kilkenny This is a repeat of last year's All-Ireland quarter-final, in which Dublin surprised many by taking down Kilkenny. With the Stripeywomen losing to Waterford on home territory last week, they might be feeling a little bit vulnerable and Dublin will surely smell some blood in the water at Parnell Park. Tommy Shefflin and co will undoubtedly have learned a lot more from the reverse than the facile victory over Derry but with Dublin having had a week off after getting to within six points of Galway and with last year's Croke Park result in mind, this feels like it could go right to the wire. Waterford v Derry These two teams are enjoying very different fortunes at present, with Waterford impressive winners over Kilkenny at UPMC Nowlan Park on their belated competition start last Saturday and Derry, down two-thirds of the team that consolidated senior status last season, on a score difference of -58 points from two outings against Kilkenny and Galway.

Can Cork and Galway pass their repeat exams?
Cork, writes Joe Canning, have had just three weeks to figure out what went wrong at the Gaelic Grounds when they were close enough to being pulverised by Limerick. It's like 'they're sitting a repeat exam,' he says of Saturday's Munster fina l against the same opposition. This, Joe reckons, 'could be more like the game we thought we were going to get' last time out. Galway will be sitting a repeat exam too in Sunday's Leinster final, having been 'destroyed' by Kilkenny seven weeks ago . Can they pass the test this time? Cathal Mannion certainly hopes so, Ian O'Riordan talking to the Galway forward ahead of the game. Also in Gaelic games, Muireann Duffy has word on research in to camogie and women's football that found that players have the habit of suffering in silence when they sustain injuries for fear of 'being dropped, letting their team down or being seen as weak'. In football, Gavin Cummiskey previews this evening's friendly between the Republic of Ireland and a formidable looking Senegal side in Dublin, and he hears from Robbie Brady, the newly crowned senior international player of the year . Brady's message to his team-mates on hearing he'd won the gong? 'It shows how s**t you've all been if I'm winning this'. READ MORE In rugby, Gerry Thornley previews Leinster's URC semi-final against defending champions Glasgow at the Aviva Stadium tomorrow, and in his column, Johnny Watterson reflects on 'crampgate' , ie Jaden Hendrikse's carry-on during the Sharks' URC shoot-out against Munster last weekend. Did URC chief executive Martin Anayi condemn the behaviour? Heck no, he was so chuffed by the YouTube, X and Instagram hits, he 'freely skated over Hendrikse's antics'. In golf, Philip Reid reports on an excellent day at the office for Shane Lowry at the Canadian Open, where a 64 has him just three shots off the lead, but a not so good one for Rory McIlroy, his 71 leaving him well adrift. And in racing, Brian O'Connor previews the action at Epsom, the two-day meeting getting under way today. Aidan O'Brien has three runners in the Oaks , which he has won on 10 occasions, but Godolphin's unbeaten 1,000 Guineas winner Desert Flower is the favourite. And Brian also looks ahead to tomorrow's Derby which, he says, 'is trading on past glories' . It's 'the original, but sad to say it's not the best any more', the most commercially relevant of them all now the Japanese Derby. TV Watch : Virgin Media One and UTV have coverage from Epsom today (from 1pm) and in tennis, it's men's semi-final day at the French Open. The match between Lorenzo Musetti and Carlos Alcaraz is scheduled to start at 1.30, followed by the meeting of world number one Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic (TNT Sports 1). This evening, the Republic of Ireland meet Senegal in a friendly at the Aviva Stadium (RTE 2, 7.45) and at 8.0 Virgin Media Three has coverage of the Diamond League in Rome (8.0).
