Galway SHC semi-final replay: HT – Gort 0-8 St Thomas 0-8: There’s already action underway this afternoon with Kenny Park in Athenry the venue for the semi-final replay between Gort and St Thomas after the teams drew 0-9 apiece last week.

It’s a tight contest so far with the teams deadlocked at the break but the scoring rates have been impressive. St Thomas, inspired by county stars Conor Cooney and David Burke, had lead 0-8 to 0-5, but thanks to Gerry Quinn and Paul Killilea, Gort have drawn level by the interval.

Loughrea have already qualified for the Galway senior hurling final after they got the better of Turloughmore last week. Reigning champions Gort will be hoping to get back to the decider while St Thomas are aiming for history as they seek to achieve their first ever place in a senior final.

Let’s start looking ahead to some of today’s big games. First up at 2pm in the Munster club quarter-finals. In Clonakilty the meeting will take place of Castlehaven, crowned Cork senior football champions for the first time since 2003 last Sunday, against Dromcollogher-Broadford, who won the Limerick title after a replay last Friday week.

While in Quilty in West Clare, Kilmurry-Ibrickane will welcome Dr Crokes, who won their third successive Kerry title last week. This game will be a huge test for the reigning provincial champions Dr Crokes and they only won out by three points when the teams clashed last year. Here’s a look at the teams competing in the Munster Club SFC this year.

While in the Leinster club senior hurling championship today, the opening matches are all on at 2.30pm with three quarter-finals down for decision. The big one is in Parnell Park where Oulart-The-Ballagh, defeated in the last two provincial finals, meet Dublin’s Kilmacud Crokes. There are also battles in Dr Cullen Park and O’Moore Park. Here’s a look at the teams in the hunt for the Leinster club title.

In Ulster there will be plenty focus later on the events in Ballybofey with the Donegal county final taking place. But before that game between St Eunan’s and Naomh Conaill, there’ll be plenty focus on how the three provincial senior quarter-finals unfold. The big clash is in Healy Park in Omagh with Errigal Ciaran and Ballinderry.

The tie between the Tyrone and Derry champions is an intriguing one. Errigal Ciaran manager Ronan McGuckin is notably not involved in the game as he stepped down from his position due to the fact that he is a native of Ballinderry. While Ballinderry trainer Joe Canavan has also vacated his position as he is an Errigal Ciaran club man.

Some interesting team news from the Munster club games. Dr Crokes will be without midfielder Ambrose O’Donovan for their clash with Kilmurry-Ibrickane after he suffered a finger injury during the week. While Dromcollogher-Broadford have been dealt a blow ahead of their meeting with Castlehaven as Limerick senior Seanie Buckley is ruled out through injury.
