Hello and welcome to live coverage of one of the biggest days of the Gaelic football season, an enticing double header of
Monaghan
against
Donegal
(throw-in 4pm), followed by
Tyrone
against
Dublin
(throw-in 6.15pm) at GAA HQ.
It is the most open
Championship
in many years and it's never been harder to call the winner of the whole thing, or even individual matches. Donegal beat Monaghan in the quarter-finals of the Ulster championship, so that makes them bookies favourites for the first game, but Monaghan have had two weeks off courtesy of topping their group, rather than the
controversial six-day turnaround for Donegal
. It has been a flawed Dublin so far this year, but they are capable of going on a run with home (or neutral) advantage at Croke Park from here on in, Tyrone will be tough opponents though. There is also the minor hurling final between Clare and Waterford at Semple Stadium.
