THE LAST TWO AIB All-Ireland senior club football champions are both out in action this weekend as the provincial action hots up.

St Vincent’s have put together back-to-back Dublin titles but they’ll face a stern test against a Portlaoise side who are at home and basking in the glow of an eighth successive Laois senior football crown.

That’s in one of four Leinster quarter-final ties with Offaly’s Rhode, who lost provincial finals in 2006, 2008 and 2010, also going up against Meath’s Navan O’Mahony’s.

The other quarter-final ties in Leinster see 2006 champions Moorefield going up against 2001 kingpins Rathnew while 2011 champions Garrycastle will face Emmet Óg Killoe of Longford.

Over in Connacht, the main semi-final showdown sees 2013 All-Ireland champions St Brigid’s going up against Ballintubber, fresh from a third Mayo title in five years.

That game is on in Castlebar while in Carrick-on-Shannon, the other semi-final sees raging hot favourites Corofin going to meet Aughawillan.

Finally the other senior football ties this weekend sees St Eunan’s, Roslea, Slaughtneil and Cavan Gaels in action in Ulster while the delayed Wexford senior football championship will see St Anne’s take on Shelmaliers in a semi-final tie.
