SUNDAY
TG4 Leinster Senior Football Championship
Dublin v Laois, Naomh Mearnóg, 2pm
Dublin will undoubtedly go into this match as favourites as they set out in pursuit of a fifth consecutive Leinster title.
Last year's All-Ireland runners-up have home advantage and a team brimming with talent.
Laois have endured a few barren years of late and are coming off the back of a League campaign that saw them avoid relegation from Division 2.
Dublin reached the knock out stages in Division 1 but will be on their guard after suffering three defeats in a row to end their Lidl NFL campaign.
Laois have nothing to lose in this fixture as few will expect them to win but this may sput them to produce a big performance.
However, Dublin can call on stars like Sinead Aherne, Sinead Finnegan, Carla Rowe and Lyndsey Davey as well as the pick of the under-21 team that claimed All-Ireland glory for the third year in a row just last weekend.
Meath v Westmeath, Summerhill, 2pm
Meath are underdogs after struggling throughout their League campaign, which ended in relegation to Division 3.
Westmeath, by contrast, were hugely impressive as they battled their way through to the Division 2 decider and although they lost out to Donegal will have taken plenty of positives from their League campaign.
Westmeath have some real quality, and the likes of Maud Anne Foley, Fiona Claffey and Leona Archibald will ensure that Emma Troy and her Meath colleagues will have to be on top form to produce a surprise result.
