It's another massive weekend of club gaa action, particularly from a hurling perspective.

Hurling takes over this weekend, with RTÉ showing Ulster championship action on Saturday night before TG4 broadcast back-to-back Munster championship games.

Here are the ten best games to watch.

Saturday

Erne Gaels v Scotstown, Ulster SFC QF, 5.00, Ulster GAA TV

The Fermanagh venue is a plus for Erne Gaels in this re-fixed clash, having had a two week break since winning their first Fermanagh title in 43 years. Scotstown will be eager to make up for last year's Ulster final loss to Glen.

Ruairí Óg Cushendall v Slaughtneil, Ulster SHC semi-final, 7.15, RTÉ 2

It's a heavyweight Ulster hurling clash with these two sides having taken seven of the last eight provincial titles. Slaughtneil have lost the last two Ulster finals, including last year's one to Cushendall, giving them big motivation to re-claim their crown.

Sunday

Loughmore-Castleiney v Ballygunner, Munster SHC SF, 1.15, TG4

Unusually for the dual men of Loughmore-Castleiney, they'll have had almost a month off since winning their last competitive game - the Tipperary senior football final.

It's a repeat of the 2021 semi-final which the Tipp side controversially lost to Ballygunner, with Noel and John McGrath red carded.

Mohill v Padraig Pearses, Connacht SFC SF, 1.30, Connacht GAA TV

Pearses showed their credentials last weekend, taking the scalp of Corofin while Mohill have had over a month off since winning the Leitrim SFC in a penalty shoot-out.

Castletown Geoghegan v Thomastown, Leinster SHC QF, 1.30, Clubber

Only Ballyhale Shamrocks have come close to a rampant Thomastown team over the last two years, having backed up Kilkenny, Leinster and All-Ireland intermediate glory last year with a senior county title this year.

They'll be hoping to add further honours, their journey beginning with a trip to TEG Cusack Park Mullingar against a Castletown Geoghegan side who were convincing winners in the Lake County.

Naas v St Martin's, Leinster SHC QF, 2.00, Clubber

Naas will be reeling after elimination from the football last weekend with Martin's eager to make an impression in their first Leinster club campaign since 2019.

There have been rumours that a few of their players have gone on their travels since the county final win. All will be revealed on Sunday.

Naomh Moling v Kilcormac Killoughey, Leinster SHC QF, 2.30, Clubber

Kilcormac Killoughey showed their battling spirit to take a second Offaly title in a row last month while Naomh Moling are on the back of a massive thirteen week lay-off since winning the Carlow championship.

Na Fianna v Clough Ballacolla, Leinster SHC QF, 3.00, Clubber

Na Fiana will be looking to one step further than last year when they lost the Leinster final to O'Loughlin Gaels, beginning their journey against the Laois champions.

Sarsfields v Feakle, Munster SHC SF, 3.15, TG4

Feakle will be full of confidence after a first Clare SHC win since 1988, while Sarsfields may still be reeling after losing the Cork final to Imokilly.

St Loman's v Castletown, Leinster SFC QF, 3.30, Clubber

Wexford champs Castletown are on a winning run in both codes with St Loman's also in good form, having destroyed Dunshaughlin in the first round.
