A look at this weekend's GAA fixtures

Today

Interprovincial finals: SF:Munster v Ulster - Croke Park, 5.15pm - Darragh Ó Sé is the only survivor of the last Munster victory in the M Donnelly inter-provincial competition eight years ago, but in general this is a strong line-up with all players, apart from Thomas O'Gorman from Waterford, having played in last month's All-Ireland final - and that fact points to a Munster victory. SH: Munster v Connacht - Croke Park, 7pm - Connacht got a bad beating from Leinster in last year's final and will be outsiders against a Munster side that, driven by 1-10 from Waterford's Eoin Kelly, comfortably beat Leinster in the semi.

Tipperary SF Semi-final:Moyle Rovers v Aherlow - Cashel, 3pm - After losing last year's final to Aherlow, Declan Browne's team will be expected to take revenge and line up another meeting with Fethard.

Sligo SH Final:Tubbercurry v Calry-St Joseph's - Markievicz Park, 3pm - A fourth successive final between the clubs with Calry-St Joseph's slightly favoured to avenge last year's defeat and regain the title they won in 2005. Winners take on the Roscommon champions on Monday.

Tomorrow

Leinster SFC First Round:Éire Óg (Carlow) v Tullamore (Offaly) - Carlow, 3.30pm - The counties met last year when these teams' predecessors Palatine and Rhode met, with the Offaly side winning en route to the Leinster final. Twelve months on the odds have shifted with Éire Óg looking likely to advance.

Ulster SHC Final:Kevin Lynch's (Derry) v Dunloy (Antrim) - Casement Park, 2.30pm - Having survived the Ballycran challenge after a replay, Dunloy will be favourites to reclaim the title.

Kilkenny SH Final:Ballyhale Shamrocks v St Martin's - Nowlan Park, 3pm - Last season Ballyhale had the Hurler and Young Hurler of the Year playing for them. Henry Shefflin's cruciate and James Fitzpatrick's metatarsal injuries have removed them from tomorrow's climax, along with Kilkenny under-21 Keith Nolan.

While Martin's have been the surprise of the championship, Shamrocks have plenty of back-up between the Reids and Michael Fennelly and with the experience that comes of being multiple champions they can negotiate this tricky hurdle.

Galway SF Final:Milltown v Killererin - Pearse Stadium, 3pm - An experienced Killererin have been living on their wits all season, twice going to replays before removing last year's All-Ireland winners Salthill-Knocknacarra and then NUIG.

Coached by former county goalkeeper Martin McNamara, Milltown have Diarmuid Blake in excellent form and, having defeated former All-Ireland champions Corofin and Caltra, they can spring what would be a slight surprise.

Cork SF Final:Nemo Rangers v Ilen Rovers - Páirc Uí Chaoimh, 3.15pm - A significant county final, as the Cork football decider has produced nearly a third of all All-Ireland winning clubs.

The contrast couldn't be more graphic with Ilen, drawn from the parish of Rath and islands and parish of Aughadown in west Cork, chasing a first title against the biggest name in club football.

Nemo are looking for a third successive county title and will probably get it.

Meath SH Final:Kilmessan v Kiltale - Navan, 3pm - Kiltale haven't been in a final since last winning 24 years ago and will probably have to wait at least another year to claim the title again.

Roscommon SH Final (replay):Athleague v Pearses - Athleague, 3pm - Both sides will be hoping for better after last week, but Athleague surely won't be as bad again, between a misfiring attack and a goal gifted to the challengers.

Waterford SF Semi-final:Stradbally v Ardmore - Dungarvan, 1.30pm - Further proof of Brick Walsh's football prowess, the hurling All Star hitting 1-3 against Ring, as Stradbally target another football title. They'll be favourites to take it to the last day against The Nire or Ballinacourty.

Limerick SF Semi-finals:Monaleen v Dromcollogher-Broadford - Kilmallock, 2pm - Drom-Broadford recovered a six-point deficit against Pallasgreen, but in the absence of Tommy Stack and Jason Stokes may struggle against Monaleen. Adare v Ballylanders - Kilmallock, 3.30pm - Adare are chasing a double in Limerick having already qualified for the hurling decider. They may however lack the scoring power to deal with Ballylanders.

Wicklow SF Semi-final :Rathnew v Kiltegan, - Aughrim, 3pm - Although Kiltegan eliminated St Patrick's last week, old reliables Rathnew are the more likely final opponents for Baltinglass.
