The provincial club championships continue apace in another busy weekend of action at grassroots level.

TG4 cameras will be in Thurles for the third Munster club SHC final showdown in four years between Na Piarsaigh and Ballygunner. It will be Na Piarsaigh's 13th game in the provincial series having never lost one but can the 'Gunners' make it a case of Unlucky 13 for the Limerick champions?

As part of eight hours of live GAA coverage on Sunday afternoon, the Irish language station will also be in Omagh for the meeting of Gweedore and Crossmaglen. Coleraine and Scotstown do battle in the first installment of an Ulster club SFC semi-final double-header at Healy Park.

It will be a huge day for Gorey's Naomh Eanna who face Henry Shefflin's Ballyhale Shamrocks in their first ever Leinster club SHC semi-final. Two teams familiar to this stage, Ballyboden St Endas and Coolderry face off on the other side of the draw.

Current champions Liam Mellows will take on 2016 winners St Thomas' in the Galway SHC final. In actual fact, it won't be the last county final to be played in 2018 as this year's Cavan SHC has yet to be decided.

Elsewhere, there's plenty of silverware up for grabs across the provincial club intermediate and junior championships.
