TG4 and RTE have three big provincial club semi-final encounters to savour this weekend with online streaming service Clubber covering both Munster football semi-finals.
First up is Clubber’s meeting of St. Loman’s Mullingar and St. Mary’s Ardee at 1.30pm on Saturday.

Con O’Callaghan and Michael Fitzsimons’ Dalky based club are favourites to advance to the Leinster final.
But the Offaly men have completed back to back county titles and will have gained confidence from a Leinster quarter-final victory over Tinahely (Wicklow), who had beaten Portarlington (Laois).
Niall O’Callaghan was in flying form in Cuala’s quarter-final win over Naas in a cracker of a game at Newbridge, and will take some watching.
The following day TG4 have a big double bill of action on GAA Beo, starting with the meeting of Kilcormac-Killoughey (KK) and Castletown Geoghegan in the Leinster semi-final at 12.45pm.
Westmeath’s Castletown Geoghegan, managed by former county football star Alan ‘Budda’ Mangan caused a major upset in downing Kilkenny’s Thomastown last time out.
Offaly’s Kilcormac-Killoughey defeated Carlow’s St. Mullin’s by five points in their quarter-final.
KK are a serious coming side with young talent like Charlie Mitchell, Adam Screeney and Colin Spain, but their opponents have plenty of quality in the shape of Aonghus Clarke and Niall O’Brien.
Next up at 3.15pm is the meeting of impressive Armagh champions Clann Eireann, who dismissed Derry’s Newbridge last time out with county men Barry McCambridge and Tiernan Kelly to the fore.
Clann Eireann have a match winner in another Armagh All-Ireland winner, Conor Turbitt, while they are strong in the tackle and have physical size all over the park.
Errigal Ciaran are fully loaded with Peter Harte, the Canavan brothers - Darragh and Ruairi - and fellow Tyrone players Joe Oguz and Cormac Quinn.
Clubber have the Munster semi-finals with Kerry’s Dr Crokes up against Waterford’s Rathgormack (1pm) and Eire Og Ennis’ meeting with Loughmore-Castleiney (1pm).
The online service also have the Leinster semi-final meeting of Dublin’s Na Fianna and Wexford’s St. Martin’s on Sunday at 3pm.
Meanwhile, TG4 will also screen highlights from the Ladies Football All-Star Awards this Saturday.
And their AFLW coverage continues with deferred coverage of both semi-finals on Saturday and Sunday. Adelaide Crows face the Kangaroos and Brisbane Lions come up against Port Adelaide.
The Irish players involved are: Amy Boyle Carr and Niamh Kelly (Adelaide Crows), Bláithín Bogue, Erika O'Shea, Niamh Martin and Vikki Wall (Kangaroos), Jennifer Dunne and Orla O'Dwyer (Brisbane Lions)
