Leinster Final

Leinster Final

Dublin v Meath, Newbridge, 3.30 - Both sides got a fright last week, but at least Meath survived Wicklow's late blitz in Carlow. Dublin have no remedy for the missing Colin Moran, injured playing with the seniors in Killarney. Meath's valuable lesson and the loss of a key player puts it up to Dublin, but they may just come through after a more impressive semi-final outing.

Ulster Semi-Finals

Monaghan v Tyrone, Ballybay 3.30 - Monaghan took their chances against Antrim with admirable opportunism, but Tyrone's quarter-final against a resolute Down was a high-class affair which ended in a narrow victory for the champions who will be deserved favourites in this clash.
