Evening all and welcome along to a huge Saturday of GAA action. It’s the start of July and the competition is starting to heat up with some huge qualifiers tonight along with a semi-final replay in Ulster.

The big news in the game currently on is that Limerick trail Westmeath at half-time of their All-Ireland senior hurling qualifier by 0-13 to 1-9. Graeme Mulcahy netted for Limerick in the first-half but they are down to 14 men after Seanie O’Brien was shown a red card.

It’s already been a good day for the footballers of Laois and the hurlers of Wexford.

• Laois make no mistake on the second attempt to edge past Armagh in qualifiers

• McDonald shines with 11 points in assured Wexford win over Offaly

Big setback for Westmeath as they miss a penalty with Brendan Murtagh shooting wide!

Limerick 1-13 Westmeath 0-14
48 mins – 14 man Limerick still in front by two points after Westmeath miss that glorious opportunity.
