We're down to the final four in this year's currentaccount.ie All-Ireland Ladies senior club championship, with holders Kilkerrin-Clonberne from Galway taking on Waterford's Ballymacarbry, and Donaghmoyne of Monaghan facing Kilmacud Crokes, who recently claimed a first Dublin title.
Fraher Field is the venue for the Ballymacarbry-Kilkerrin-Clonberne clash.
Ballymac won a 41st consecutive Waterford title before getting the better of Mourneabbey, Southern Gaels and Banner en route to winning a first Munster senior A crown since 2000.
Kilkerrin-Clonberne completed a Connacht five-timer, after a straightforward win over Mayo opponents Burrishoole.
With home advantage, and a team littered with Galway inter-county experience at various grades, they will start as favourites here.
The hosts, however, have a number of current Waterford players in their ranks. Leading the line at centre forward is the vastly-experienced former county star Michelle Ryan, while current county ace Aileen Wall has been in fine form of late.
The westerners will look to the creative skills and direct running of captain Louise Ward at No 11, while the inside line of Eva Noone, Ailish Morrissey and Chloe Miskell is capable of wreaking havoc.
Ten-time winners Ballymac are aiming for a first All-Ireland appearance since 1998 - with the added carrot of a possible outing at Croke Park.
Ballymacarbry: L Fitzpatrick; M Wall, M McGrath (capt.), G Nugent; L Mulcahy, L Ryan, K McGrath; B McMaugh, K Hogan; A Wall, M Ryan, A Barron; S Kenrick, S Hallinan, C Walsh.
Kilkerrin-Clonberne: L Murphy, C Costello, S Gormally, C Dunleavy; K Mee, N Ward, H Noone; S Divilly, L Finnegan; O Divilly, L Ward (capt.), L Noone; E Noone, A Morrissey, C Miskell.
Donaghmoyne are five-time All-Ireland senior winners and 14-time Ulster champions.
And perhaps their most recent provincial success will go down as one of the most satisfying. Reduced to 14 players early on, when Hazel Kingham was red-carded, Donaghmoyne called upon their vast reserves of experience to dig out a victory against St Ergnat’s, Moneyglass.
Now, they have home advantage for an All-Ireland semi-final against Kilmacud Crokes, as they aim for a first final appearance since 2016.
The maiden Leinster winners have former Dublin county panellist Michelle Davoren pulling the strings at full-forward, while Éabha Rutledge, thankfully recovered from long-term concussion issues, netted a hat-trick of goals in the provincial decider.
Molly Lamb and Aoife Kane are vastly-experienced defenders who have also worn the Sky Blue with distinction and Crokes are playing with a freedom that makes them dangerous opponents.
Donaghmoyne are laced with former All-Ireland club medallists and Monaghan inter-county stars, while the likes of the Garland twins, Amy and Lauren, bring that youthful experience.
Cathriona McConnell, still operating effectively in attack, has a weekend to remember in store. She gets married on Saturday before lining out on Sunday.
Donaghmoyne: L Martin, J Geoghegan, N Callan (capt.), A Callan; F Courtney, S Courtney, E Traynor; C Courtney, E McElroy; A Burns, A Garland, R Courtney; C McConnell, L Garland, S McConnell.
Kilmacud Crokes: D Gower; P Greene, E Sweeney (capt.), C Regan; L Kane, M Lamb, A Kane; G Kós, K McDaid; C Sultan, É Rutledge, M Jennings; J Buckley, M Davoren, K Murray.
In the intermediate semis, Longford Slashers welcome Mayo opponents Charlestown to Michael Fay Park, while Mullinahone, last year's All-Ireland junior finalists, take on Derrygonnelly Harps.
Longford Slashers: E Casey; L Kenny, E Reilly, G Kenny; O Nevin, E O'Brien, C Farrell; A O’Brien, A Cosgrove (capt.); L Nolan, G Shannon, K Lee; Kate Shannon, J Barry, Kara Shannon.
Charlestown: J Gawalkiewicz; C Murphy, L O’Donnell, H Johnson; E Brennan, N Meehan, E O’Donnell; K Gavin, C Durkan; S Mahon, C Doherty (capt), N McGovern; K O’Donohue, D Doherty, J O’Donnell.
In the junior grade, Salthill Knocknacarra have home advantage against O'Dwyers from Dublin and the other semi sees the clash of Naomh Abán v Castleblayney Faughs.
Salthill-Knocknacarra: L Carroll; K Connaughton, E Madden, O de Bairead; S Donnellan, S Divilly, R Reddington; Z Rather, A Finnerty (capt.); A Kelly, L O’Donnell, D O’Connell; A Nash, A Manley, L Kelly.
O’Dwyers: N Kirby; A Kelly, L Marry, H O’Rourke; E Kearney, A Curran (capt), J Kehoe; E Byrne, K McCabe; I McLean, C Johnston, A Gibbons; A Breathnach, S Richardson, C Munson.
