WEATHER
Saturday: Winds gradually abating on Saturday with good sunshine and just scattered showers, these mainly confined to Ulster and north Connacht. However, there is the risk of rain moving into southern counties later in the day. Highest temperatures of 5 to 9 degrees in moderate to fresh westerly breezes.
Sunday: Any rain or sleet will clear from the south coast to leave a chilly, bright day with sunny spells and a few showers. The showers will become frequent in Ulster later in the day, some with hail and thunder. Maximum temperatures of 5 to 8 degrees in moderate northwest winds. For more go to met.ie.
King Henry goes forth
They say great players don't always make great managers but Henry Shefflin certainly seems to be taking to the bainisteoir bib with aplomb.
In his first season in charge, the 10-time All-Ireland winner led Ballyhale to their first Kilkenny championship since 2013.
Colin Fennelly then hit 4-04 as Wexford kingpins Naomh Éanna were thumped in the Leinster semi-final and Ballyhale were 16-point victors over Dublin's Ballyboden in the provincial decider.
As a player Shefflin won four Leinster club crowns and three All-Irelands. The remarkable village side lead the honour roll with six titles garnered from just eight last-four appearances - they were beaten in the semi-final in 2009 and final in 1979.
Standing in their way are a Ballygunner side who ended a 17-year sequence of four final defeats in a row to claim their second Munster title in December.
That they got by serial finalists Na Piarsaigh to do so will give them great confidence, not that a team which has just compiled five in a row in Waterford should be lacking faith.
The Gunners are stacked with county stars current and former such as Pauric and Philip Mahony, Stephen O'Keeffe and Barry Coughlan and their match up with the likes of the Fennelly brothers and TJ Reid is a fascinating prospect.
"It is a massive, massive challenge," Shefflin told the Kilkenny People.
"We went on a bit of a roll (before Christmas). We got a bit of momentum and were going well. We would like to have kept going. That wasn’t to be the case.
You wonder how people will react to the break and how the team will come back. That is part of the challenge for us, the management team as well as the players."
Will the Saints go marching on?
Galway kingpins St Thomas are back in the last four, two years after falling to eventual runners-up Ballyea.
Liam MacCarthy winning-captain David Burke had five brothers on the pitch when St Thomas' won their first club All-Ireland against Kilcormac-Killoughey in 2013 and they will be favourites to make it back to another final.
Burke's youngest sibling Eanna and Conor Cooney are fellow Galway panellists.
However, Cushendall shocked a Galway team in Sarsfields in 2016 and were only beaten by a very strong Na Piarsaigh outfit in the decider.
With the core of that team still in place, captain and Antrim stalwart Neil McManus believes they can take inspiration from the feat of three years ago.
"That was the first time we had broken the duck and got to an All-Ireland final so we take great learnings from that campaign," he told BBC Northern Ireland.

Monaghan men eye history
The intermediate and junior club finals will also be played this weekend at Croke Park.
In the inter clash, Cork midfielder Darragh Fitzgibbon will be aiming to inspire Charleville to victory over Oranmore-Maree of Galway, who can boast county starts Gearoid McInerney and Niall Burke.
Charleville are managed by former Cork All-Ireland winner Ben O'Connor and overcame Kilkenny's Graigue-Ballycallan in the semi-finals.
Oranmore-Maree were 1-12 o 2-04 winners over Antrim's St Gall's.
In the junior decider, Kilkenny native Jimmy Lacey will be plotting the downfall of county men Dunnamaggin.
Lacey is the manager of Castleblaney, the first Monaghan club to reach an All-Ireland hurling final and first from the town to play in Croke Park.
Kilkenny clubs have won this grade every second year and Dunnamaggin will be anchored by 38-year-old nine-time All-Ireland winner Noel Hickey at full-back.
