Donegal and Mayo showdown fixed for Dr Hyde Park as final-round details confirmed
Donegal and Mayo's All-Ireland SFC Group 1 final round game has been fixed for King & Moffatt Dr Hyde Park on Sunday week with a 4pm throw-in.
Although there were hopes in Donegal that the game would be staged at an Ulster venue, the Roscommon town grounds will host the match, which will be shown live on RTÉ.
It will throw in at the same time as the other Group 1 meeting between Cavan and Tyrone in Enniskillen's Brewster Park.
On Saturday at 4.15pm in Group 2, Cork's must-win game against Roscommon has been fixed for Portlaoise's Laois Hire O'Moore Park. That could yet form a double-header with the Laois hurlers' All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final against Dublin or Tipperary.
Kerry will travel to face Meath in their Group 2 finale in Tullamore's Glenisk O'Connor Park with Jack O'Connor's side requiring a draw to top the table and secure an automatic All-Ireland quarter-final berth.
Late that day at 6.30pm, Derry and Dublin meet in Newry's Páirc Esler as Armagh face Galway in a repeat of last year's final in Kingspan Breffni.
The earlier games on Sunday are the Group 3 clashes at 2pm. Clare have to defeat Leinster champions Louth in Portlaoise to earn a last-12 spot and the top-of-the-table duel between Down and Monaghan is fixed for Armagh city. A draw for Down will be enough for them to qualify for the last-eight on score difference.

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.

European crown up for grabs for Dublin boxer Pierce O'Leary
Pierce O'Leary is hoping to add an EBU European title to his resume, taking on Liam Dillon for the belt in Ipswich's Portman Road on Saturday. With an unbeaten record of 16 wins with nine knockouts, 'Big Bang' has been impressing so far in the professional ranks. O'Leary had probably the best year of his career so far in 2024, with three wins, including a wide points victory in a clash with fellow Dubliner Darragh Foley. Promoter Frank Warren had previously expressed support for the idea of a homecoming bout for his Irish fighter, but has since opted to take the EBU title fight in the UK instead. READ MORE The 25-year-old has stopped just over half of his opponents, but his record belies his punch power. His ninth-round knockout of undefeated Hovhannes Martirosyan last year was particularly impressive, after what had been a gruelling contest to that point. However, the momentum from the Foley and Martirosyan wins has been somewhat stayed, as O'Leary has only been in the ring once in nearly a year. That came back in December, where he took on a little-known fighter from Uruguay. Although the level of opposition may not have been spectacular, the finish was. O'Leary knocked out his opponent in the third round with a counter left hook, which is perhaps his signature blow. His opponent this weekend, Liam Dillon, has a less impressive resume on paper than the Dubliner, with 15 wins to two defeats and only three knockouts in his career. The Londoner won the British super featherweight title in 2023, but the fight took place two weight classes and 10 pounds below Saturday's super lightweight (140lbs) contest. The European title fight features on the undercard of heavyweight contender Fabio Wardley's homecoming in Ipswich. Despite boasting a record of 17 knockouts in 19 fights, Wardley faces a tough night's work against New Zealander Justis Huni (12 wins, no losses). Belfast cruiserweight Steven Ward is also on the bill after his career highlight knockout of city rival Tommy McCarthy. The 35-year-old takes on Cork-based Cuban Mike Perez, who has scored six knockout victories in a row. Ward and Perez each have three losses on their records and are in the twilight of their careers, making this weekend's bout a must-win for both.

New York chief defends Lory Meagher win and Johnny Glynn's involvement
New York GAA chief Sean Price has defended the presence of the side in the Lory Meagher Cup and has also hit out at the criticism of Johnny Glynn's involvement in a tier-five championship final. The Gaelic Park side were parachuted in at the semi-final stage after approval at Congress earlier this year and subsequent wins over, firstly, Monaghan and then Cavan in the final secured the silverware at Croke Park. Prior to their last-four clash with Monaghan, Oriel manager Arthur Hughes had labelled the move"an absolute disgrace" but the Kerry native told The Championship podcast that it was a good thing for the game. "You can see where Monaghan and Cavan are coming from, they're trying to promote hurling in their own counties; they're trying to grow the game and sometimes it's not easy," said the New York chairperson. "We identified this ourselves a couple of years ago, we had three senior teams four years ago, we have six now, we have six junior teams and we have a couple of novice teams. "One of the pillars we decided on was to get into the Lory Meagher and the GAA backed it and they put us in. "Look it's a situation that isn't our fault, it isn't Cavan's fault, I saw some of the Cavan players crying after the game, they'd put their heart and soul into it. "We got the goals, six points at the end was probably a fair reflection but it was never going to be the runaway that people were talking about. "The delegates at Congress had backed it and put us in there and look, we're up to Nickey Rackard next year and it's probably going to be a huge step for us." Glynn's name was the most notable on the New York teamsheet in the 4-17 to 2-17 final win over Cavan given that eight years previous he had started at full-forward as Galway lifted the Liam MacCarthy Cup at the same venue. For Price though, such sniping was short-sighted. "Johnny Glynn was targeted because he has an All-Ireland medal but Johnny Glynn is living in New York since 2017. "We're delighted to have him, he's vice-chairman of the board, the amount of time he puts in is colossal, so I don't think it's fair to single him out. "People were saying 'an All-Ireland winner shouldn't be allowed to play in the Lory Meagher' but you can't be singled out because of where you live or because you transferred out or because you decided to live in a foreign country. "It's all about promoting the game, it's world GAA, it's games at home, it's games all over, we're one big family whether we like it or not. "Sometimes it's dysfunctional but that's what we are as a family."
