CONNACHT SFC SEMI-FINAL
Leitrim v Mayo, Carrick-on-Shannon, Sunday 25 June, 3.30pm
Leitrim look to prove the form book wrong when they take on Mayo in Carrick-on-Shannon at 3.30pm on Sunday.
Mayo have been in flying form since Mickey Moran took charge of the side. He has built on the work of previous manager John Maughan and given the side a new belief, as well as adding a few more scoring forwards to the squad.
Leitrim will do well to reproduce their performance against Galway last year. Mayo do not have as many weaknesses as Galway did back then. If Dessie Dolan Senior's side are to ruffle the Mayo feathers, they will have to ambush them early and hope that old doubts resurface.
Full-forward Ciarán McDonald should prove to be the main danger to Leitrim. If he gets a decent amount of possession he will punish any failings in the Leitrim rearguard. Whether he is named at full-forward or not he is likely to roam out around the midfield area when given the opportunity.
There may not be too much between the teams at the final whistle, but Mayo should not be too over-exerted in reaching the Connacht SFC final.
Verdict: Mayo.
LEINSTER SFC SEMI-FINAL
Dublin v Laois, Croke Park, Sunday 25 June, 2.00pm
Laois will be out to avenge their defeat in the 2005 Leinster SFC final when they take on Dublin in Croke Park this Sunday.
Both sides have been in relatively good form of late but Dublin may have learned more about their side in their victory over Longford than Laois did against Carlow.
Billy Sheehan comes back in to add more of a threat to the Laois forward line, but there is little difference to the side that Dublin defeated twelve months ago, albeit barely.
Dublin manager Paul Caffrey has made a number of changes and the side appears to be more a more cohesive footballing unit. The repositioning of Brian Cullen at centre-back will give them a more steady half-back line and the forwards will welcome the return of the experienced Jason Sherlock and Ray Cosgrave to the starting XV.
Laois are stronger in midfield, while their full-forward line could expose an apparent nervousness in the Dublin full-back line.
However, the Dubs are just about the stronger side and the added bonus of the home support will send them to the provincial decider.
Verdict: Dublin
ULSTER SFC SEMI-FINAL REPLAY
Armagh v Fermanagh, Clones, Sunday 25 June, 3.30pm
Favourites normally win replays and that is a theory that is unlikely to be proved incorrect when Fermanagh have another go at beating Armagh in Clones at 3.30pm on Sunday.
The Ernesiders threw away their chance two weeks ago. The Orchard County will have their number and are now aware of exactly what they have to do to book a meeting with Donegal in the Ulster SFC final.
Fermanagh will have to fight harder for every ball than they ever have before and Oisin McConville and Stephen O'Neill will be aware of how they can dismantle the Fermanagh defence.
Although Armagh are an ageing side, they have only been playing in second gear until now and, while they may not have the legs for a long summer, they have more than enough petrol in the tank to give it one last effort to fight for a second consecutive Ulster SFC title.
Verdict: Armagh
All-Ireland SFC Qualifiers Round One
Tyrone v Louth (replay), Healy Park, Saturday 24 June, 3.30
Louth will be out to end Tyrone's excellent history of winning replays when they square up to the Red Hand County in Omagh at 3.30pm on Saturday afternoon.
However, Stephen O'Neill is a monumental loss for Tyrone. He kept them in the game last week until Owen Mulligan and Seán Cavanagh finally woke up to their responsibilities in Navan.
Louth will be well aware that if they can stop one of the two of these from being an influence they may be on the way to causing an upset. The trouble is that they have no obvious man-marker to tackle either individual.
The Tyrone full-back line also has a few question marks hanging over it and will have given manager Mickey Harte a few sleepless nights this week.
Louth definitely have the potential but they have not shown that they have the belief to register a win. Tyrone are well used to proving the doubters wrong and should go on to book their passage into the next round courtesy of Messrs Cavanagh and O'Neill.
Verdict: Tyrone
Kildare v Cavan, Newbridge, Saturday 24 June, 7.00pm
Kildare and Cavan battle for the right of passage to round two of the All-Ireland qualifiers when they meet in Newbridge at 7.00pm on Saturday.
The Lilywhites will be relieved that the whole blood substitution fiasco is finally behind them and they can focus on proving their mettle on the field of play.
Against Offaly they failed to convince that they deserved even a second bite of the cherry. There seems to be a reliance on older, experienced players like Anthony Rainbow and Glenn Ryan. Ryan, in particular, looked way off the pace the last day and could be a liability against Cavan.
Cavan were in a mess against an overrated Down side last time out. However, they have had almost six weeks to iron out the kinks from that clash and if the get the best out of the Reillys on Saturday they will leave Kildare licking their wounds.
Verdict: Cavan
