The Championship: Knockouts get serious in both codes
joins Damian Lawlor to assess the weekend's preliminary quarter-finals in the All-Ireland football championship. Galway's trip to Down is probably the pick of the four football games, while Kerry seek to bounce back from last weekend's wobble at home to Cavan. In the other two fixtures, Cork face Dublin in Croke Park, while Louth make the arduous journey to Ballybofey to face Donegal. It's All-Ireland hurling quarter-final weekend, with John Kiely's Limerick heavy favourites against Dublin in Croke Park, while long-time foes Tipperary and Galway face off yet again at this stage of the competition in the Gaelic Grounds. Waterford's three-time All-Star Noel Connors previews both games, while Limerick's Cian Lynch and Galway's Fintan Burke chat ahead of both games.

RTÉ GAA Podcast: Is there a shock in football's last 12, can Galway lift themselves for Tipperary
Enda McGinley and Nigel Dunne join Jacqui Hurley and Rory O'Neill too look ahead to the All-Ireland Championship preliminary quarter-finals. Galway have not reached heights many expected them to in 2025 - yet. Could Down catch them on the hop? Kerry were flat against Meath but they've been given a good chance to find their mojo once more against a Cavan side which conceded more than anyone else in the group stages. Elsewhere, Dublin and Cork are to meet at Croke Park while provincial champions Donegal and Louth will clash at a venue which is, presumably, to Jim McGuinness's liking. Jackie Tyrrell joins for the hurling and wonders if Galway have enough to beat Tipperary, even if they produce their best. While Limerick and Dublin are set to clash in championship for the first time in a decade, a period in which the Treaty men have become a different animal altogether.

Kildare v Dublin LIVE updates from All-Ireland Hurling Championship clash
Kildare take on Dublin this afternoon in the preliminary quarter-final of the All-Ireland Hurling Championship. The sides face off at St Conleth's Park in Newbridge, with throw-in slated for 4pm. The Lilywhites are back in the Liam MacCarthy competition thanks to their thrilling success in the Joe McDonagh Cup earlier this Summer. With momentum behind them, the hosts are in the mood to cause a shock when they welcome the Dubs to Newbridge today. They take on a Dublin side that finished third in Leinster. Once again, Dublin are something of an enigma. At times they have looked great, but with the lack of strength in Leinster, another third place finish has done nothing to boost optimism in the capital. Kildare team Dublin team

Kildare v Dublin LIVE updates from All-Ireland Hurling Championship clash
Kildare take on Dublin this afternoon in the preliminary quarter-final of the All-Ireland Hurling Championship. The sides face off at St Conleth's Park in Newbridge, with throw-in slated for 4pm. The Lilywhites are back in the Liam MacCarthy competition thanks to their thrilling success in the Joe McDonagh Cup earlier this Summer. With momentum behind them, the hosts are in the mood to cause a shock when they welcome the Dubs to Newbridge today. They take on a Dublin side that finished third in Leinster. Once again, Dublin are something of an enigma. At times they have looked great, but with the lack of strength in Leinster, another third place finish has done nothing to boost optimism in the capital. Kildare's hurling community may be dizzy with success but, for Colm Nolan, what matters now is building a sustainable future at the top level. "We have to move to make sure that we can achieve the next level," he said. "That's what it's all about. "Our development is all built on the back of making sure we've got good structures, making sure we've got good quality people across the board. "We're very, very fortunate to have a very energetic, passionate hurling family. They look out for each other and share ideas - and that's really going to be even more important now that we grow that family. There's a greater participation level across the whole county and that's going to be absolutely crucial for the next 10 years."

GAA president Jarlath Burns wants 'review' of provincial replays, against penalties
GAA president Jarlath Burns has called for a "review" into the restoration of provincial replays while also stating that penalties are not the solution to deciding deadlocked finals. Cork denied Limerick's seven-in-a-row bid in Munster last Saturday when they defeated the Treaty men at the Gaelic Grounds 3-2 in a penalty shootout. The biggest rivals in hurling couldn't be separated after 70 minutes, or at the end of an additional 20 minutes of extra-time. The Rebels came out on top in the first shootout in top-tier hurling, but speaking at the launch of the All-Ireland Hurling Championship in Offaly's GAA's Training Centre in Kilcormac, the 'Faithful Fields', Burns insisted that it isn't the way he wants to see silverware decided. "I don't agree that penalties are the best way to end any final," he told RTÉ Sport's Marty Morrissey. "Coming from Armagh, that's definitely my position," he said in a nod to his native county's struggles from penalties. Of the seven shootouts that have occurred in the championship since the first in 2022, Armagh have, remarkably, been on the losing side in four of them. Jarlath Burns said at the launch of the 2025 All-Ireland senior hurling championship that he is in favour of replays over penalty shoot-outs in finals. #RTEGAA — RTÉ GAA (@RTEgaa) June 10, 2025 Saturday's Munster finale has raised the topic of replays, as opposed to the 'winner on the day' outcomes. The hurling preliminary quarter-finals, in an already compact championship schedule, has been put forward as a major stumbling block for replays, but Burns feels it is something that should be re-examined. "We did bring a motion of replays to Congress," he said. "Unfortunately it didn't suit Munster at the time because of the preliminary quarter-finals that are played a week later. "In the light of what has happened at the weekend, it's definitely something I think we should review."
