Good afternoon, and welcome to The Irish Times live GAA blog for what is a bumper fixture list in championship hurling and football. In the first round of the Munster hurling championship, reigning All-Ireland champions Clare take on recent league champions Cork at Cusack Park in Ennis (2.0pm), before Tipperary host Limerick at FBD Semple Stadium Thurles (4pm). Two massive games which could ultimately influence the progression of all four teams.
In football, reigning Ulster champions Donegal take on Monaghan in the provincial quarter-final in Clones (2pm), before last year’s beaten All-Ireland finalists Galway host Roscommon in the provincial semi-final at Pearse Stadium. Mayo await the winners.
