All of this weekend’s Gaelic football action, news, teams and talking points

Lee Costello

Where to even begin?

There is a crazy amount of Gaelic football matches on this weekend, so much so that it will be near impossible to keep up with everything going on.

Fear not, because we’ll keep you up to date with it all right here.

 

However, that’s where we come in – we will be tracking all of the news, teams, talking points and live action as the championship really begins to heat up.

With so many games to choose from there are a few that really stand out above the rest, in particular Tyrone’s Ulster clash with Armagh in a game that will either demoralise or catapult either team’s season.

We also have Kildare vs Dublin which will be interesting given how close the lily whites came in their Leinster clash, while Cork will see their match against Kerry as their best opportunity in years to topple their foes.

There are real opportunities fro redemption as well, Donegal will be quietly confident that they could cause an upset against Derry and we haven’t even mentioned the Tailteann Cup yet which has so many matches that are too close to call.
