Welcome along to a busy night of GAA action as Cork face Kildare and Down meet Donegal in Division 1 of the Allianz Football League. In Division 3, Cavan face Monaghan while Fermanagh take on Roscommon. And in Division 4, we have the meeting of Tipperary and Waterford.

Some notable team news to bring you. Ryan McHugh makes his debut tonight for Donegal in Ballybofey against Down. While there are three changes on the Cork team from that which was announced during the week as Eoin O’Mahony, Tom Clancy (Clonakilty) and John O’Rourke replace Paudie Kissane, Alan O’Connor and Pearse O’Neill.

Other games of note tonight that we’ll be keeping an eye on are the Waterford Crystal Cup final between Tipperary and Clare in Thurles while in the All-Ireland Club IFC final in Croke Park, Kerry’s Finuge face Tyrone’s Cookstown.

Another pre-match change to note in Ballybofey as Paul McComiskey comes into the Down team for Benny Coulter.
