The Finalists and semi finalists are now known for the provinces

The Provincial championships are moving in the semi-final and final stages with the last four confirmed in Ulster and Leinster.

Whereas, the finalists are now known in Connacht and Munster championships.

Kerry and Clare will meet in a repeat of the 2023 Munster decider on Sunday May fifth. In Connacht Mayo and Galway will renew their rivalry in the provincial decider on the same date in May.

Galway needed a late goal to see off Sligo in their semi-final; while Mayo had it a little easier against Roscommon. That result sees the Rossies enter the All-Ireland series and manager Davy Burke explains more about what is next for his side.

In Leinster the semi-finals form a double header in Croke Park on Sunday. Where, Kildare take on Louth followed by Dublin who are looking to claim a 14th consecutive title facing Offaly.

It is also at the semi-final stage in Ulster where new champions will be crowned after Donegal accounted for Derry last weekend. Donegal will now face Tyrone who needed extra-time to see off Cavan.

That game will throw in at Celtic Park on Sunday, while St. Tiernachs Park Clones will host the meeting of Down and Armagh on Saturday.

While there has been much debate around the value associated with the provincial competitions, GAA pundit Diarmuid Scullion remarked, the further you go within your province the easier things could be in the All-Ireland series.
