GAELIC GAMES: Antrim SF final (today):Cargin v St Gall's, Casement Park, 7pm – The All-Ireland champions are hot favourites to retain the Antrim title in their ninth county final in 10 years. They should prove too strong for the Michael McCann-driven Cargin.
Armagh SF semi-finals: Dromintee v Granemore, Crossmaglen, 5pm (today) and Crossmaglen v St Patrick's Cullyhanna, Silverbridge, 5pm (tomorrow) – After last year's failure to win the county, Cross' are back, with new county star Jamie Clarke the main threat, and firm favourites to win this derby. Dromintee suffered more than most during the Crossmaglen hegemony. They may just shade this.
Antrim SH final: Ruairí Óg Cushendall v Loughgiel Shamrocks, Casement Park, 3.30 – Liam Watson is an injury doubt for Loughgiel but even if he does make it, Cushendall have to be expected not to slip up as favourites for a second successive year. They have scoring potential of their own in Shane McNaughton and Neil McManus and can take the title.
Cavan SF final: Cavan Gaels v Kingscourt Stars, Breffni Park, 4pm – Champions Cavan Gaels are favourites for this but Kingscourt will mount more substantial barricades than Denn managed last year. The holders' experience to swing it.
Cork SF quarter-finals:Clonakilty v Duhallow, Páirc Uí Rinn, 7.30 (today) and Castlehaven v Ballincollig, Bandon, 3.30 (tomorrow) – Defending champions Clonakilty will have their work cut out against divisional side Duhallow, who have Aidan Walsh available after his sensational interventions last week. The Castlehaven- Ballincollig replay also mobilises some of the All-Ireland heroes, with Patrick Kelly and John Miskella in action for Ballincollig, who were unlucky not to complete the job the first day against Castlehaven.
Cork SH quarter-final replay and semi-final: Glen Rovers v Midleton, Páirc Uí Chaoimh, 3pm and Erin's Own v Sarsfields, Páirc Uí Chaoimh, 4.45 (both tomorrow) – Midleton bring some serious young talent to the table in the quarter-final replay and are likely to prove too hot to handle for the Glen, whose dependence on Patrick Horgan's scoring leaves them vulnerable. In the semi-final Sarsfields should get back to the final after last year's scarifying by Newtownshandrum in what should be a high-voltage derby against Erin's Own.
Dublin SF quarter-finals: St Oliver Plunketts v Lucan Sarsfields, O'Toole Park, 5.30 and Ballyboden St Enda's v St Vincent's, Parnell Park, 6pm (today) and Na Fianna v Kilmacud Crokes, Parnell Park, noon (tomorrow) – The big clash of the weekend sees two of the last three champions, holders Ballyboden and St Vincent's meet this evening, a tight enough encounter that may swing on Conal Keaney's availability for Boden. Plunkett's boast the Brogans and Jason Sherlock and will be expected to make the last four. Tomorrow Kilmacud should pack too much power for Na Fianna.
Galway SF semi-final replay: Killererin v Mountbellew- Moylough, Tuam Stadium, 5pm (today) – Mountbellew lost out in a replay of last year's final and, thanks to Pádraic Joyce's intervention, have been taken to a second day here, slightly delayed by the same Mr Joyce's stag weekend. Mountbellew to earn their own big day.
Kilkenny SH quarter-finals: Erin's Own v Clara, Ballyragget, 2.30 and Ballyhale Shamrocks v Dunamaggin, Hugginstown, 4pm (today) and O'Loughlin Gaels v St Martin's, Castlecomer, and James Stephens v Carrickshock, Callan, 4pm (tomorrow) – There's every chance the county could end up with the same semi-finalists as last year. All-Ireland champions Ballyhale are without Henry Shefflin but managed three years ago to overcome that and should have too much firepower for Noel Hickey's Dunamaggin. Martin Comerford is expected to line out for O'Loughlin Gaels despite injury and they should get past St Martin's and Castlecomer look likely to maintain the progress of last year's return to senior against Clara. But the Carrickshock-James Stephens tie is the most intriguing with the former's abundant talent needing to deliver against the Village in what would upset last year's semi-final configuration.
Leitrim SF final:Glencar- Manorhamilton v St Mary's- Toghert, 3.30, Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada – Glencar-Manorhamilton are going for a three-in-a-row against the club they dethroned in 2008. Despite their incumbency status, the champions have freshened up the team and can take the honours.
Longford SF final:Dromard v Longford Slashers, Pearse Park, 4pm – Having been squeezed out by Clonguish in last year's replayed final, Dromard are hoping to put the experience to good use against the Slashers who haven't won the title for 16 years. But injury to top scorer Francis McGee may make scores hard to come by.
Mayo SF semi-finals: Castlebar Mitchels v Knockmore, 2pm and Shrule-Glencorrib v Ballintubber, 3.30, both McHale Park – Knockmore are favourites to win the county this year and should progress to the final. In the other match, Conor Mortimer's Shrule-Glencorrib can prise out enough scores to win.
Meath SF final:Skryne v Seneschalstown, Páirc Tailteann, 4pm – Champions Seneschalstown haven't raised much of a gallop so far this season. Against a patchy Skryne defence Joe and Brian Sheridan may well get opportunities. Skryne have other strengths, including the vision of Trevor Giles and impressive performances in attack from county goalkeeper Paddy O'Rourke. Expect it to be far more competitive than last year's rout in the quarter-finals.
Roscommon SF final: St Brigid's v Elphin, Hyde Park, 4pm – Having had their dominion interrupted during the past two years, St Brigid's are back and hot favourites to win the title. Frankie Dolan is in fine form and Senan Kilbride's recovery from injury is a further boost for the attack.
Sligo SF final:Eastern Harps v Tourlestrane, 4.30 – Tourlestrane can become the first club since the 1980s to retain the Sligo championship if they can repeat last year's win over Eastern Harps.
