GAA: All the fixtures taking place this weekend
There’s a mix of football and hurling on offer this weekend, as the inter-county season speeds along.
Sunday’s pairing of Dublin and Mayo at the Hyde is among the stand-outs of the All-Ireland Football series, while the All-Ireland Hurling preliminary quarter-finals between Laois and Wexford, and Offaly and Cork will go on to face beaten provincial finalists Clare and Dublin.
The Tailteann Cup also reaches the quarter-final stage, and four senior fixtures are on Saturday’s agenda in the TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship.
The young guns also take centre-stage as Cavan and Kildare contest the All-Ireland Minor Football Final, while it’s Tipperary v Galway and Clare v Kilkenny in the All-Ireland Minor Hurling semi-finals.
