The group stages are heating up in most counties with the club championships hitting full swing.
This will be another action-packed weekend of club GAA with big games taking place in all corners of the country.
TG4 intend to acquire the rights for inter-county championship games in 2025 but for now their full focus is on the club season, having brought us some entertaining games from Kerry, Armagh, Clare and Galway in recent weekends.
It's destination Dublin and destination Cork as they set off on the road again this weekend. First up is the clash of Raheny and Castleknock in the third round of the Dublin senior football championship.
TG4
Dublin SFC
Raheny v Castleknock, Parnell Park, 2.15, Sunday
Ciaran Kilkenny (Castleknock) and Brian Fenton (Raheny) are inevitably the star turns of the contest and what a treat it will be to watch arguably two of the greatest footballers ever in action for their clubs.
But they aren't the only big names on the field with Brian Howard and Sean McMahon also in the Raheny ranks.
Raheny were agonisingly close to a breakthrough last year having only lost the semi-final to Kilmacud Crokes in a penalty shoot-out and they'll be hoping to go a step or two further this time. Both teams have beaten Lucan Sarsfields and lost to Na Fianna so far, so the winner takes all here, with a 2.15 throw-in.
Cork SHC
Midleton vs Érin's Own, Páirc Uí Rinn, 4.00, Sunday
Midleton vs Érin's Own is similarly significant down in Cork where both sides need a win to secure progression to the knock-out stages.
Midleton's big stars include Tommy O'Connell and Conor Lehane with Robbie O'Flynn the main man for Érin's Own. Having lost last year's Cork SHC final, Midleton will be hoping to make amends this year.
Streamed games
Thursday
Ardboe v Edendork, Tyrone SFC, Round One, 7.00 (Tyrone GAA TV)
The Tyrone SFC kicks off tonight with what should be an entertaining game, with loads of county talent on the field. Ardboe have a few players from Tyrone's u20 All-Ireland winning team, including Shea O'Hare who was the u20 player of the year. Michael O'Neill and Michael Cassidy also have plenty of senior experience at inter-county level.
Meanwhile, Edendork have a star-studded line-up with Niall Morgan, Conn Kilpatrick, Darren McCurry and Ben Cullen, while their manager is Conleith Gilligan, who is coming off the back of winning the All-Ireland with Armagh as part of the backroom team.
