The county final train continues this weekend with 19 senior deciders taking place around the country, acrss hurling and football.

Storm Ashley caused postponements last weekend with the majority of those games re-fixed for the coming days.

Friday

Errigal Ciaran v Trillick, 7.30, Tyrone SFC final, Tyrone GAA TV

Extra-time was needed to separate these two in last year's decider, with Trillick coming out on top.

To see the likes of the Donnellys, the Brennans and the Canavans in action under the Friday Night Lights is something to get excited about.

Saturday

Cappataggle v St Thomas', 1.30, Galway SFC semi-final, Stream Sport

Cappy are back at the semi-final stage having lost four in succession between 2017 and 2020. The Collins brothers will be looking to leadthem to a first ever final but the All-Ireland champs are standing in their way.

Clan na Gael v Clann Éireann, 6.00, Armagh SFC final Armagh GAA TV

It's Take Two for the Lurgan derby with last week's clash called off at very short notice. Clann Eireann remain favourites with Turbitt, Tiernan Kelly and Barry McCambridge in their ranks.

Kilmacud Crokes v Na Fianna, Dublin SHC final 7.45, RTÉ 2

Who could forget the classic final these two produced in 2021, also on RTÉ 2, also under the Saturday night lights. Na Fianna somehow l0st that game having led by nine with ten minutes to go.

Finally getting over the line last year will spur them on, but maybe Ronan Hayes will haunt them again. Only time will tell.
