The Allianz League is back in full swing now as we got to see some stellar inter-county play and some shock results. There's a bucket-load of fixtures this weekend so here are just five GAA fixtures we think will be the best watch.
5 Standout GAA Fixtures This Weekend
Kilmoyley GAA vs Naas Hurling Club
The club season is beginning to wrap up with the All-Ireland Championships this weekend and next weekend and there isn't a much more interesting tie that the Intermediate hurling final. Kilmoyley GAA from Kerry take on Naas at Croke Park this Saturday.
No side from either Kerry or Kildare have won a hurling title at this level so it will be great to see history be made this Saturday.
Kerry vs Dublin
Both sides will be looking for a win after a poor start to their Allianz league campaigns when they meet in Tralee on Saturday night. Kerry could have a number of players return to the squad this week and it will be interesting to see if the Kingdom can get the win after being pegged back late for a draw last week. Dublin on the other hand need a big bounce back after losing at home to Armagh in round 1 and Dessie Farrell may be under even more pressure if they fail to improve here.
Probably the standout among GAA fixtures this weekend.
Both teams have been named and it's set up for a cracking game.

Wexford vs Limerick
The reigning All-Ireland champions travel down to Wexford for the first round of the Allianz Hurling League. The Yellowbellies will be looking for an upset here under manager Darragh Egan, who replaced Davy Fitzgerald last September after Fitzgerald resigned. Limerick want to continue their winning ways and build on last year's All-Ireland win by doing well in the league.
Ballygiblin vs Mooncoin
In the other All-Ireland Club final on Saturday Ballygiblin of Cork take on Mooncoin of Kilkenny in the AIB Hurling All-Ireland Junior Club Championship. Ballygiblin will be playing in their first All-Ireland final while Mooncoin have been there and done it before. The match will also see Mark Keane line out for Ballygiblin, the forward who scored the goal to beat Kerry in the 2020 Munster football semi-finals.
Armagh vs Tyrone
This is a battle of two of Ulster's best teams as All-Ireland champions Tyrone travel to the Athletic grounds to face Armagh. Armagh are coming into this match off the back of a big win in Croke Park against Dublin last week and they'll want to prove that the result of that game wasn't a fluke.
