GAA Preview: Ulster semi-finals take centre stage in football
The Ulster semi-finals are down for decision this weekend as Armagh and Tyrone renew their rivalry at Clones. All-Ireland champions Armagh got their championship campaign underway against Antrim, while Tyrone were made to work for victory over Cavan in the quarter-finals. Advertisement The winners will face either Donegal or Down, who meet in Clones on Sunday. Donegal were able to hold on for victory against Monaghan last Sunday, while Down had to come from behind to overcome Fermanagh last weekend. In Leinster, there is plenty to play for in the semi-finals, as Dublin face rivals Meath, while Louth take on Kildare. Dublin have dominated Leinster since 2011, with Meath the last team to stop them in the 2010 semi-finals. Meath would love nothing more than to cause a huge shock to Dublin, who were unconvincing in their win over Wicklow. Advertisement In the other semi-final, Louth and Kildare and playing for not only a place in the Leinster final, but a place in the All-Ireland. After a poor league campaign, Louth finished in sixth, while Kildare were promoted from Division Three. Should Louth reach a third straight Leinster final, they will be in the All-Ireland once again. In hurling, every team is still searching for their first win after two draws last weekend. Advertisement After rescuing a draw in the last second against Clare, Cork take on Waterford, while Clare face Tipperary, who held Limerick to a draw. In Leinster, Galway will aim to recover from a disappointing defeat to Kilkenny when they face Offaly, while Dublin take on Wexford, with both teams hoping to build on impressive opening wins.

Kayleigh Cronin's departure leaves Kerry ladies vulnerable to Rebel ambush
The Munster Ladies Senior Football Championship gets underway this weekend with Cork hosting Kerry in Cloughduv, while Waterford are away to Tipperary also on Saturday Kerryman Kerry ladies manager Mark Bourke will be well aware of Rebels in the long grass. As the men found out last Saturday, one writes off an unfancied Cork at your peril. Not that Kerry men's manager Jack O'Connor had done anything of the sort – he was at pains all week prior to the game to stress that Kerry were going to be in for a battle royale.
