WEATHER
Scattered showers with some sunny spells in a mostly light northerly breeze. Highs will range from 7 degrees in Ulster up to 13 degrees in Munster.
Tipp eye long-awaited final spot
Tipperary are on the brink of a first national final since losing the 2009 league decider to Wexford. The indomitable Mary Ryan is the sole survivor from that squad and she made her first appearance of the season off the bench in the stroll against Clare last weekend.
Denis Kelly's crew have their fate is in their own hands, regardless of what happens between Cork and Galway on Sunday and face All-Ireland champions Kilkenny who have been off-colour.
The Cats have just one win over to their name and confirmation that player of the year, Miriam Walsh has suffered a serious knee injury another blow.
While the Noresiders’ focus at this stage is on later in the year they are, mathematically, still in danger of being relegated. They would need to ship a very heavy defeat and Dublin to be easy winners over Clare for that to transpire.
2022 league final re-run
Another pre-cursor to an impending championship clash. Cork have been purring along nicely, with only Tipperary giving them a real challenge.
The pair could cross swords again in the final, but Galway are defending champions and have bounced back well from losing to the Premier County in the opening round.
They need Kilkenny to take something off Tipp as their score difference is far inferior and even if they emerged from Páirc Uí Chaoimh with the win, they would have to do so by 19 points to overtake the Rebels, should Tipp also record victory.
Winner-takes-all in Rathkeale
The stakes are high in Rathkeale on Saturday afternoon where the loser of Limerick v Offaly is relegated to Division 2A, not a place a team operating in the senior championship wants to be plying its trade in.
Having gotten a brilliant draw against Antrim, a similar result will do Offaly while winless Limerick, All-Ireland quarter-finalists last year, also desperately need a win.
Meanwhile Antrim beat Wexford to overhaul them for the runner-up spot. A share of spoils will be enough to see the Yellowbellies advance.
