Weather
A chance of a shower in north Dublin on Saturday evening, while the sunny south-east should live up to its nickname, with dry weather forecast there. Sunday will be a bright, rather breezy and a very showery day. A few bright or short sunny spells, but the showers will be fairly widespread by lunchtime. Many will be heavy in the afternoon and early evening, with possibly a few thundery downpours in places. Top temperatures 14 to 17 C, in moderate to fresh and gusty south to southwest winds.

Saturday
Ulster Senior Championship semi-final
Cavan v Donegal, Killyclogher, Tyrone, 7pm
A place in the Ulster decider against Armagh on 30 June is the prize on offer here.
Donegal’s hopes of a third successive provincial crown are very much alive, and they got past the tough challenge of Tyrone in the preliminary round to make the last four.
That assignment will have blown away any post National League cobwebs, while Cavan are without a competitive fixture since 21 April.
On that occasion, the Breffni girls lost out to Waterford in the Lidl NFL Division 2 semi-final, and now they face their first Championship assignment of the season.
Donegal will start as favourites but Cavan have proven firepower in their ranks, with Aisling Maguire and Aishling Sheridan capable of causing the holders some problems.
Cavan lost out to Armagh by three points at the semi-final stage last year, and will hope to go a step further this time.
A Cavan win would send them through to a first TG4 Ulster Senior Final since 2016 – but they’ll have to work hard for it against a seasoned Donegal outfit.
Cavan: E Walsh; K McIntyre, R Doonan, S Reilly; S Greene, S Lynch, J Moore; S O’Sullivan, N Byrd; A Gilsenan, A Maguire, D English; C Finnegan, A Sheridan, L Fitzpatrick.
Donegal: A McColgan; A.M. McGlynn, E Gallagher, S McLaughlin; N Carr, N McLaughlin, T Doherty; K Herron, E McGinley; K Guthrie, K Keeney, A Boyle Carr; N Hegarty, G McLaughlin, S McGroddy.
Sunday
Munster Senior Championship final
Waterford v Cork; Fraher Field, Dungarvan, 6.30pm
Fraher Field in Dungarvan is the venue as in-form Cork look to retain their crown.
The Rebels have carried their Lidl NFL-winning form into the championship and when they met Waterford in the round-robin phase of the Munster Championship, 24 points separated the sides.
Waterford will be determined to prove that was a one-off, and the Déise had been in really good form themselves prior to that game.
They won the Lidl NFL Division 2 Final against Kerry, before defeating the same opposition in Munster.
That latter victory ultimately booked Waterford’s place in the Munster Final, and they’ll hope for a big home support in Dungarvan.
Cork have brought in dual star Hannah Looney for this one, while there are three changes on the Waterford team from their last clash with the Leesiders, as Kate McGrath, Mairead Wall and Kelly Ann Hogan earn starts.
This game will be streamed live on the LGFA’s Facebook Page from 6.15pm.
Cork: M O’Brien; H Looney, E Meaney, M Duggan; S Kelly, A Hutchings, E Kiely; M O’Callaghan, O Farmer; D Kiely, N Cotter, C O’Sullivan; E Scally, S Noonan, O Finn.
Waterford: R Landers; Kate McGrath, C McGrath, M Wall; R Tobin, Karen McGrath, S Dunphy; E Murray, K Murray; K.A. Hogan, C Fennell, M Delahunty; E Fennell, M Ryan, A Wall.
