The Leinster finals on Saturday are covered live with the football game pitting Louthโs St Maryโs Ardee against Dublinโs Cuala on RTร Player, followed by the hurling showdown involving Dublinโs Na Fianna and Offalyโs Kilcormac-Killoughey.
Then on Sunday there are three finals on TG4, with the Connacht football tie first up as Roscommonโs Padraig Pearses play Sligoโs Coolera-Strandhill. Thatโs followed by the Munster hurling decider between Waterfordโs Ballygunner and Corkโs Sarsfields, and the Ulster hurling final sees Downโs Portaferry play Derryโs Slaughtneil.

Over to you Joe. I wonโt even start to try to predict all of those.
@Ray Ridge: ballinagar and kk to win a faithful double.
@Ray Ridge: hahaโฆ.a feast of GAA for sure. Focusing on the big ones Iโll go Cuala, Kilcormac, Pearses, Gunners (but hoping for a shock in this one!) and Slaughtneil. Due to a personal connection, Iโll also go for Watergrasshill in the Munster Intermediate Final. What you reckon?
@Paully kells: Iโd be happy with that Paullyโฆ..any time you see a Meath team beaten, is never a bad thingโฆ..haha!!
@Paully kells: If there is to be a wee shock it may be KK beating Na Finana.
@Joe Kennedy: Iโd go with that too Joe. Was kinda thinking maybe Cashel might have too much for watergrasshill but hard to call that. Ballymote in Connacht Junior final keeps jumping out at me for some strange reason. Their 2/1 underdogs.
@ Ray Ridge. Ardee St.Marys to shock the odds on favourites Ray.
@Michael Carroll: Doubt it, Michael. Theyโll need Saint jude, not Saint Mary, if they are to beat Cuala.
@Ray Ridge: a Hail Mary might get them there?!
@Joe Kennedy: A few Hail showers might be their best hope Joe. The auld hail Mary never worked for me anyways!!
@Ray Ridge: hahahaโฆ..always a great leveller alright the hail showers.
