SaturdayMunster SHC: Waterford v Limerick, Walsh Park, 6pm – Live GAA+High stakes for both teams with Waterford completing their home schedule in the space of six days and Limerick looking for a first win in their second match. The problem for Peter Queally’s team is that they had every opportunity to prepare for last week’s well-merited coup against the All-Ireland champions. In the words of one local, “we had six months to prepare for Clare and now, six days for Limerick”.

by Sean Moran, Breitbart:The FBI reassigned many agents that were photographed kneeling during a 2020 protest after the death of George Floyd. The reassignments are part of President Donald Trump’s efforts to remove “woke” and other politicized elements from within America’s intelligence community. One former FBI official told CNN the reassignments raise concern the bureau bypassed its typical disciplinary process, which can reportedly take months or more than a year to review incidents.

It is strange how history repeats itself. In 2010, Meath beat Dublin and ended up playing Louth in the provincial final. Last Sunday’s Leinster football championship semi-final in Portlaoise was attended by just 10,126, which speaks volumes for a drop-off in expectations. Meath were coming off a league campaign that saw genuine promotion ambitions fizzle out in the last two fixtures.

Ulster SFC semi-final: Armagh 0-23 Tyrone 0-22As time ticked by in Clones, All-Ireland champions Armagh were looking at another chapter of extra time – at best. Had the worst come to pass, it would have been devastating. For about three quarters of this Ulster semi-final, the result never really looked in doubt for a crowd of 21,288. It ended in a welter of excitement Kieran McGeeney’s team into their third successive provincial final – with the last kick of the match.

SaturdayUlster SFC semi-final: Armagh v Tyrone, Clones, 4.45 – Live GAA+ The enduring appeal of the Ulster Championship makes this a compelling fixture. Armagh have lost the last two finals on penalties and, although All-Ireland champions, haven’t won the Anglo-Celt in 17 years. Tyrone last won in 2021 when they went on to add the Sam Maguire. The teams were tied on seven points in the league, but Tyrone took the drop, having lost the head-to-head to their neighbours.

SaturdayLeinster SHC: Dublin v Wexford, Parnell Park, 4.30pm – Live GAA+This has traditionally been the arbiter of who gets out of Leinster after Kilkenny and Galway, but last year Dublin and Wexford beat the westerners. More specifically, this fixture has been notable for Dublin’s improbably dominant record, with their most recent defeat going back seven years and covering five Leinster matches.
Seán Moran: Sobering question for the GAA - does intercounty involvement do players more harm than good?

In the kerfuffle that surrounded last year’s decision to suspend the preseason provincial tournaments, there was much pushing and pulling. They were suspended by Central Council in September and then thrown back into the fray at the end of October. Even by the standards of the administrative GAA’s notoriously short attention span, this was a bit of turnaround.

Munster SHC: Clare 3-21 Cork 2-24Sometimes, it just looks impossible. By half-time in Zimmer Biomet Páirc Chíosóg, Cork were doing unto Clare as they had done unto others during the run-in to their first league success in 27 years. Dominant all around the field, they had found plentiful goal opportunities and scored two of them.
