Mayo senior final: Ballina v Knockmore Sat 7pm
Inter final: Crossmolina v Moy Davitts Sun 2:30pm

I've a sneaky feeling Knockmore will upset the odds again. Crossmolina for the intermediate just about.

Both games live on Mayo GAA tv.

I see Daingean are favourites, marginally, to beat Crokes in Kerry final. I had thought they'd be odds against after club championship?

Hope they do it. I reckon they'd give All Ireland a rattle.

Probably off the back of their win over East Kerry who were storing favourites. I'd have Crokes as slight favourites. The weight of history will be heavy enough for Daingean, but I'd love to see them do it.

Crokes beat them relatively comfortably. They were flying last year but were ultimately caught out by playing something like 11 games in three months. Have seen them a few times when down and hopefully things come together for them this time.

Dingle seem to be the slight favourites. Having knocked out East Kerry and represented Kerry last year, it's a big opportunity for them to deliver.

Replying To Saynothing:  "A different winner every year is part of the problem. When a team can win up to 10 county finals in a row it gives them a winning mentality. Celebrating is more important when it's a rare thing."
Celebrating right ok, Surely if there not county winners every year all the more reason to knuckle down and give Ulster a good go dont you think

I get what your saying,but tyrone teams seem to put in so much effort to win the championship,they celebrate and get hungover for ulster. Suppose it's because God knows when they could win another one

It's called the joy of winning a final and honestly I would prefer to see lads delighted at winning it once in a blue moon than become robots about winning Ulster,Connacht,Munster or Leinster.Look at Cuala and Na Fianna and Pearses in Roscommon.That is what GAA is about.The joy you bring your community and the wider GAA community in the county.Cappataggle and Loughrea and hurling final and will do Galway hurling the world of good rather than Thomas winning another All Ireland.And don't get me wrong the likes of St Thomas and Corofin are brilliant but nothing is more exciting than seeing new teams coming through.

Dr Crokes beat Dingle in today's Kerry Senior County final. 3 goals by Crokes turned the game around in the second half.

I would say Errigals focus has just gone up a notch now that Glen are out and an Ulster final apperance could well be on the cards

I Dont think i would call them robots , these are lads who just want to be the best they can be, Surely it has to be a great thing for any club to go and win a province or an All Ireland , would that not give the community and the wider GAA in that county an even bigger lift , and in your words once in a blue moon

Only the Limerick SFC winner to be confirmed in Munster.

Éire Óg v Fr Casey's or Adare
Dr Crokes v Castlehaven
November 24 semi-finals
Loughmore-Castleiney v Éire Óg or Fr Casey's or Adare
Rathgormack v Dr Crokes or Castlehaven
Loughmore-Castleiney are double football and hurling champions in Tipperary. Something they've achieved 3 times in the last 11 years. Some going in fairness!

The problem is that it is very rare that a club team comes from no where.Most have lost a couple of finals or semi before they break through and in the case in Galway anyway tend to dominate for good few years.So when a team breaks the strangle hold of one of these teams they do celebrate because they their aim is just to win a county title maybe for the first time.Hard to know if one team dominating the club scene in a county for years does any good for intercounty level either.Take County Hurling final in Galway.Everyone buzzing to see it and new team winning it whether they go on to win anything else or not.

It's a quick turnaround for Errigal Ciaran following their Tyrone triumph. The profile of this weekend's provincial club action seems low enough. Would have thought with the split season that the profile of these games might increase. They are more of a Champions championship than the Champions League! UEFA's Champions League music would be more appropriate for the GAA's club champions championships! :-D
If the GAA did Champions League!:
