All of the provincial preliminaries and quarter finals have been played by now, leading us nicely into the semi-finals and in some cases, the finals.

Last four weekend is on the way, with the top ten games selected here.

Saturday

Bray Emmetts v Rathnure, Leinster IHC semi-final, 1.30, Clubber

An exciting one with the 2022 champs Bray Emmetts taking on a young and highly rated Rathnure side, who bounced straight back up to senior hurling in Wexford after being relegated last year. Ruairi Higgins has been outstanding for them this season.

Tooreen v Tynagh-Abbey-Duniry, Connacht IHC final, 1.30, Connacht GAA TV

Both teams are in form with successive wins in the competition. Ardee St Mary's are highly rated, with as many as ten of their players set to be on the Louth senior panel next year. St Loman's have loads of experience in Leinster and have looked as good as ever in recent weeks.

Kilcoo v Scotstown, Ulster SFC SF, 6.00, Ulster GAA TV

Kilcoo will be out for revenge having been beaten by the Monaghan champs last year, with Rory Beggan scoring a late free. Expect fireworks again, with the Monaghan club aiming to win their first Ulster title since 1989.
