The weekend's second Sports Direct FAI Cup semi-final takes place today, after Cork's surprise win over St Patrick's Athletic on Friday, and it's another Dublin v Munster battle.
Tallaght Stadium will host a meeting between the country's most successful club, Shamrock Rovers, and the League of Ireland's newest outfit, Kerry FC.
The men from the Kingdom will have to embrace their tag as unbackable outsiders as they make the journey to the home of the champions elect.
While the west Dublin outfit are full-time, like all of the clubs in the Premier Division, Kerry don't have the same luxury.
It'll be a first meeting between the clubs at senior level, and it's fair to say that there's a massive contrast between what both can offer.
To give a sense of things, their top scorer this year, Sean McGrath, has been doing some work away from soccer this season.
"Labouring, it's not so much laying blocks," he said this week when speaking to the media.
"I'm working with my uncle. He does a bit of work for the council, so I'm working part-time with him, helping out when I can.
"It keeps me busy anyway. It sounds harder than it is because once you get into that routine, it's second nature to me now. I don't mind it at all. It keeps me busy and I like that busy lifestyle. I'm happy enough."
Kerry also train five days a week, so it gives a sense of McGrath's drive that he wants to add further heavy lifting into the mix.
He played with a potential opponent on the field at Tallaght later at the Cork City academy, one Josh Honohan, but he's now gone on to shine with Kerry, with over 100 appearances for the club, putting him first on the club's all-time appearance list.
Echoing his manager Colin Healy earlier in the week, McGrath says they have to try to use their underdogs status to try to find a historic performance.
"They're the best team in the country, it's something we haven't experienced before," he points out.
"We've experienced Premier Division clubs before but not to this magnitude - and away from home, as well.
"I've played there [Tallaght] a couple of times at underage, with not many people in it, but that was before the new stand went in.
"It's another game, so we're just looking forward to it. You want to be playing against the best and testing yourself to see how far off it you are, or whether you can equal them on the day.
"It's very exciting and everyone in our dressing room is looking forward to going up there and testing ourselves against them."
Kerry are having their best season in the League of Ireland and while it has only been three years, they could finish as high as seventh in the table.
With a manager like Colin Healy at the helm, with a pair of FAI Cup winners medals in his back pocket from his playing days, why can't they repeat the heroics of the quarter-final, when they saw off top flight side Sligo Rovers with a sensational comeback?
Clearly, this Rovers side are a step up, but that's what one-off cup games are all about.
The Hoops come into the game off Thursday's chastening 4-1 defeat against Sparta Prague in the Conference League.
Interestingly, and in what is surely a first, Stephen Bradley pointed to a clash with Kerry as a reason for naming a slightly weakened Rovers side for that game in the Czechia when speaking to the media after the game.
"We knew tonight was going to be a game with a lot of defensive work," he said in Prague.
"Once the subs that came in, if you start them it's a heavy load with Sunday in mind. Sunday had a big bearing on the selection."
Rovers are the best team in the country, and they'll be looking to flush that European disappointment out of their system quickly.
The dominant team in their era, with historic victories and progress in continental competition, they haven't yet matched the great 1980s team in one regard - a league and cup double - but they could be just one game away from doing so by this evening.
Derry City host Sligo Rovers in a re-arranged game from Friday and if the Candystripes fail to win, Rovers will be Premier Division champions by 6pm.
That will leave the Hoops with a chance for a first double since 1987.
