First 2018 All-Ireland semi-finalists to be decided in all-Ulster clash in Omagh

Donegal and Armagh go head-to-head in Healy Park on Saturday as we hit the business end of the ladies football championship.

WHILE THERE’S AN All-Ireland quarter-final double-header set for the Gaelic Grounds on Monday, the first TG4 All-Ireland senior championship semi-finalists will be decided in Omagh on Saturday.

Healy Park will play host to the all-Ulster clash of Donegal and Armagh — a repeat of this year’s decider — with the Orchard county challenging the back-to-back provincial champions for a spot in the last four.

Maxi Curran and Damien Devaney’s Tír Chonaill side enter the tie having topped Group 1 while Armagh claimed the final spot in the knockout stages last weekend. Throw-in on Saturday is 4pm.

The fixture details for the All-Ireland intermediate quarter-final meeting of Tyrone and Wexford have also been confirmed, with O’Raghallaighs’ grounds in Drogheda the venue.

The 2017 All-Ireland finalists and this year’s Lidl Ladies National Football League Division 3 winners go head-to-head at 2pm on Saturday.

While the coming weekend is a busy one in the senior and intermediate championship — Cork v Westmeath and Sligo v Wicklow are on the billing for Monday’s Gaelic Grounds’ televised double-header — the following weekend is just as hectic.

The Ladies Gaelic Football Association (LGFA) have confirmed that the remaining two senior quarter-finals will form another televised double-header on Sunday 12 August.

The all-Connacht clash of Mayo and Galway will throw in at 3pm while reigning All-Ireland champions Dublin and 2018 Munster finalists Kerry will lock horns in a repeat of last year’s semi-final at 5pm.

The remaining two intermediate last eight clashes between Clare and Meath, and Roscommon and Laois, are also down for decision that weekend with further details to be clarified.

The LGFA have also confirmed that all All-Ireland intermediate and senior semi-finals will be shown live on TG4.
