Allianz FL Division 1
1430 Monaghan v Kerry, Inniskeen
It takes two in the land of Paddy Kavanagh with Kerry heading north seeking a third win on the trot and so join Dublin and Galway at the top of the table. The Kingdom, however, will need to win by a tally of seven points or more to overtake the Tribes in second place while they need to win by 14 points to knock Dublin off top spot.
Monaghan, after losing by the bare minimum to Mayo in the opening round, were on the right side of that outcome when accounting for Kildare two weeks ago.
Kerry and Monaghan have met five teams in the top flight in the last eight years, with the Kingdom winning three to Monaghan’s two. The Farney's two wins came last year (2-08 to 1-10) and 2015 (1-11 to 0-10)
Allianz FL Division 2
1400 Cavan v Meath, Kingspan Breffni
The prize for the winners in a clash that fell victim to last weekend's icy blast will be top spot in the second tier. The last league meeting between the counties was in 2016 when Cavan came from behind to win by seven points in what was a major success in their successful drive back to Division 1.
Allianz FL Division 3
1400 Sligo v Fermanagh, Markievicz Park
1430 Derry v Offaly, Celtic Park
Connacht FBD FL final
1400 Roscommon v Galway, Dr Hyde Park
Could this be a dress rehearsal for a consecutive Connacht final between this pair on 17 June next?
Allianz HL Division 1A
1400 Clare v Cork, Cusack Park
1400 Waterford v Kilkenny, Walsh Park
With wins over Tipperary and Kilkenny behind them, Clare will be in a confident mood when they host Cork (one win, one defeat) in Ennis. Two points for the home side will see them in the last eight.
The Rebels lowered the Banner colours twice last year, winning their Division 1A tie by 0-21 to 1-11 before repeating the success (1-25 to 1-20) in the Munster final.
Neither Waterford nor Kilkenny have taken a point so far in this campaign, which makes their clash in Walsh Park. Derek McGrath's side are seeking their third successive spring win over the Cats, having won by four points in 2016 and by a point last year. They also prevailed after extra-time (4-23 to 2-22) in last year’s All-Ireland qualifiers - a first championship success over their neighbours since 1959.
Allianz HL Division 1B
1400 Galway v Offaly, Pearse Stadium
In the last two meeting between these sides (league and championship), Galway have hit the Faithful for 6-56, with the six goals coming in last season's 1B encounter.
