All-Ireland SF B final: Fermanagh v Wicklow, Navan, 2.00 - Fermanagh have taken a sort of lease on the B final in recent years - this is their fourth since 1996 - although they have only won it once. When new manager John Maughan started in Clare, his first landmark was winning this back in 1991. Initial results with Fermanagh in the League haven't been that encouraging and it's hard to imagine that the players will get too exercised about this. Wicklow co-won the year after Clare and this is the first final between former winners. Their form in the League hasn't been bad and they are capable of playing constructive football. Even if tested this afternoon, they should become the first county to win two Bs.

Connacht SF final: Crossmolina (Mayo) v Corofin (Galway), Crossmolina, 2.30 - Shifting perceptions govern this. Given the long and exhausting year in Galway and the fact that Corofin are old hands, there's the temptation to side with defending champions Crossmolina who impressed last year until losing to Na Fianna, a match they might well have won.

There is a strong feeling that both teams have been playing within themselves. The Mayo champions made hard work of Buninadden - scarcely the most daunting representatives to have come out of Sligo - and Corofin haven't been firing on all cylinders either with workmanlike disposals of Killanin (in the county final monsoon) and Aughavas.

The Galway side have made changes since winning the All-Ireland two years ago but with its formidable under-age structures, ready replacements have been found. They may need more of them as Jason Killeen aggravated a long-running hamstring injury last week and may struggle to line out. Word from Crossmolina is that the team isn't going that well and has yet to hit a convincing rhythm. Corofin, solid at the back and well supplied with forward talent, get the vote.

Leinster SF semi-finals: Na Fianna (Dublin) v Rhode (Offaly), Newbridge, 2.30 - Maybe Na Fianna were pushed a bit hard by Abbeylara but most observers felt that they weren't at full tilt and as soon as the stakes increased they responded comfortably. Mick Galvin is injured but the Dubliners look too accomplished for the new Offaly champions.

O'Hanrahan's (Carlow) v Moorefield (Kildare), Portlaoise, 2.30 - Contrasting journeys to this stage. O'Hanrahans took two and a half matches to dispose of Coralstown-Kinnegad with their superior stamina and steady nerves carving out the one-point win. Moorefield's dash and penetration were impressive in the last round, albeit against a semi-knackered Dunshaughlin (fresh from their three-match previous round). Moorefield's firepower should be decisive.

Munster SF semi-finals: Eire Og (Clare) v Nemo Rangers (Cork), Ennis, 2.30 - Nemo rarely fail once out of the county and they are hot favourites for this season's Munster title. Such is the depth of strength in the club that their intermediate team is in the county final. Colin Corkery's chest complaint sidelines him until the new year and any more injuries will of course diminish the intermediates further. Eire Og were unimpressive disposing of Abbeyfeale but with home advantage and the resilience common to Clare sides in this championship, they won't let Nemo through easily. But through the Cork champions will go.

Moyle Rovers (Tipperary) v Glenflesk (Kerry), Ardfinnan, 2.30 - Glenflesk have had an exceptional year, coming from nowhere to win the Millennium Cup, the club championship in Kerry. Last week's victory over An Gaeltacht was particularly creditable with Seamus Moynihan working his magic from centrefield and John Crowley riddling the target, 1-3 from play. That's the extent of the big names but a number of the players have county medals from East Kerry's recent successes.

Moyle have yet to fulfil their potential at this level and with injury restricting Declan Browne to vignettes (admittedly vivid ones such as coming on and scoring the winner in the last round against The Nire), it may not happen for them today either.

Munster SH semi-final: Patrickswell (Limerick) v Sixmilebridge (Clare), Gaelic Grounds, 2.30 - In the five years since winning the All-Ireland, the 'Bridge have changed about half their personnel. It's quite a young side but with the experience of David Fitzgerald in goal, John O'Connell and up front John Chaplin. Niall Gilligan at full forward is actually one of the newcomers but will hardly be inhibited at this level.

Patrickswell surprised many by beating a virtually full-strength Toomevara last week. They're solid at the back and have Gary Kirby scoring for fun from centrefield but otherwise the attack hasn't been punching its weight. They're also up against Clare's intimidating record in this championship: Sixmilebridge are chasing the county's sixth successive title. There's not much in it but the 'Bridge will be fresher and carry more menace in attack.
