THE inter-county season reaches its business end, with nine GAA games being shown live on TV this weekend across the All-Ireland Championships.

On Saturday, Kilkenny with clash with Clare in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling semi-final.

This is the third consecutive semi-final where Kilkenny have faced Clare. And, the Cats have the better track record having won the last four championship meetings between the sides.

However, they have been beaten twice by Brian Lohan’s men this season, so it’s sure to be a closely fought affair.

Either way, it won’t be one to miss and you can watch all the action on RTÉ One and BBC 2

Setting the stage for this match at Croke Park, Dublin will face Kilkenny in the All-Ireland Senior Camogie quarter-final.

This game can be watched live on RTÉ One.

Also on Saturday, three of the four All-Ireland Senior Ladies Football quarter-finals are being played.

While Cork take on Kilkenny, Kerry will face Meath and Dublin face Galway.

All three of these games will be shown live on TG4.

On Sunday, Limerick will face Cork in the second of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling semi-finals.

The Leesiders haven’t won the All-Ireland title since 2005. However, they did manage to beat Limerick in their May round-robin clash and they will be hoping to repeat the feat this weekend.

However, the Shannonsiders will be motivated to make it five-in-a-row and won’t be willing to go down without a good fight.

All the action from this game can be watched live on RTÉ 2 and BBC 2.

Acting as the curtain opener for this game, Galway take on Waterford in the All-Ireland Senior Camogie quarter-final. This can be watched on TG4.

Also on Sunday, Armagh clash with Derry in the All-Ireland Minor Football final.

It’s the third time this year that the two teams have met and so far Derry have been the better team both times.

However, the closeness of the Ulster final suggests that it’s not a done deal and the Armagh minors will hope that third time’s the charm.

Find out who takes home the championship on TG4.

The final All-Ireland Senior Ladies Football quarter-final takes place on Sunday and there’s more Ulster action, as Armagh take on Mayo.
