Dublin meet Kildare this evening in the first provincial final of the 2015 Eirgrid U21 Football Championship. The game throws in at 7.30 in Navan.
Victories for Donegal (a handy goal-heavy blitz of Monaghan) and Tyrone (four-point win over Armagh) last night mean that we know the finalists in all four provinces.
But who is likely to come out on top. We run through the contenders.
Dublin v Kildare
Were it not for Longford two years ago, the tale of the Leinster U21 Football Championship would have been, as it is at senior level, that of a Dublin boot stamping on a culchie face forever.
Dublin have taken two of the last three All-Irelands at this grade and are the obvious favourites again this year. They have not exactly danced their way through the games against Laois and Longford, but then given the expectations surrounding the team, perhaps they are in a no-win situation.
They are heavy favourites for tonight's encounter against 2013 Leinster champions at this grade, Kildare.
Full-back Davey Byrne impressed (he was one of the few) in last Saturday's by now notorious League match against Derry and is one for the future, if not the present.
The Dubs are missing Killian O'Gara (brother of Eoghan, who also sustained an injury lately) who nabbed 1-1 against Longford, but they have plenty of firepower in the forwards with Conor McHugh and Niall Scully capable of providing scores.
Throw-in : April 2nd, 7.30 - Navan
Prediction: Dublin by 5 points
Roscommon v Galway
At the start of this Connacht championship, the assessment of most observers was that Roscommon were (on paper at least) head and shoulders above the competition in the province. Galway, on the other hand, were perceived as a thoroughly unknown quantity.
While the Rossies crushed Sligo in the Connacht semi-final, in the process running up a bigger score than even their most ardent admirers envisaged, it was Galway's victory in McHale Park that caught the eye the most.
These teams have competed in the last four All-Ireland finals in this grade, with Galway winning in 2011 and 2013 and Roscommon unfortunately stumbling into the Dubs in the 2012 and 2014 finals. In 2013, Roscommon went into the Connacht final as favourites but were eked out by a stylish and composed Galway in extra-time.
Roscommon have serious star power up front in the shape of Diarmuid Murtagh and Enda Smith but Galway have a few survivors from the 2013 All-Ireland winning side, with Damien Comer, Gary Kelly and Adrian Nolan (all of whom are hovering around the senior side) all being bang in form.
Comer kicked 1-5 in Castlebar before being black-carded.
Galway enjoy home advantage but we very cautiously give Roscommon the nod by a couple of points.
Throw-in : 4th April, 6.00 - Tuam
Prediction: Roscommon by 2 points
Tyrone v Donegal
Possibly the hardest of the provincial titles to call, Tyrone have been earmarked as favourites for this provincial title since the outset. However, Donegal halted Cavan's dreams of five-in-a-row in this competition, albeit in a miserably low-scoring game, in which Ryan McHugh pulled them out of the fire with a late goal.
They picked up momentum with a rollicking 4-9 to 1-5 win over Monaghan last night. Tyrone have still impressed but we tentatively give Donegal the nod to beat the odds and take the Ulster title.
Throw-in : 8th April, 8.00 - Celtic Park, Derry
Prediction: Donegal by 1 point
Cork v Tipperary
Cork have to go into the Munster Final as favourites after their fifth successive dismissal of Kerry in this competition. Tipperary have fed at the top table at underage level for a number of years now, but they were unimpressive in their semi-final against Clare, a performance that energised no one.
A barren and largely empty Semple Stadium will provide little boost for Tipp, although it is unusually large pitch for Gaelic football and the theory that it's dimensions have thrown visiting teams in the past has been mentioned.
Still, we reckon Cork will take it by 5-6 points.
Throw-in : April 9th, 7.30 - Semple Stadium
Prediction: Cork by 6 points
