The number of county finals might be less than in previous weekends, but there's still a host of action over the Bank Holiday break with games across the various provincial club championships.

Last weekend saw fourteen county finals between football and hurling - there's half as many this time around with five football finals and two hurling deciders.

Monday night sees the Dublin football final as St Vincent's defend their crown against Ballymun Kickhams while on Saturday the capital hosts its hurling decider which pits All-Ireland champions Cuala versus Kilmacud Crokes for the second year running.

Kilmurry-Ibrickane (Clare), Simonstown (Meath) and St Loman's (Westmeath) look to retain their respective county titles as St Martin's eye a famous Wexford SHC-SFC double after dethroning Oulart-The Ballagh in hurling.

Elsewhere on Sunday, city rivals Dicksboro and James Stephens contest the Kilkenny SHC final which will be broadcast live on TG4.

The Leinster and Munster club football championships begin on Sunday with three first round ties in the east and the standout one is a midlands derby between Rhode and Portlaoise.

Meanwhile, the champions of the past two years meet in Munster as Clonmel Commercials welcome All-Ireland kingpins Dr Crokes to the Sportsfield.

In Ulster, all four provincial club quarter-finals take place across Saturday and Sunday and the meeting of holders Slaughtneil and Tyrone winners Omagh - a repeat of the 2014 decider - looks the pick of them.

The other last four ties up north are Derrygonnelly versus Armagh Harps, Cavan Gaels versus Lamh Dhearg and the Monaghan-Donegal clash of Scotstown v Kilcar.

Finally, two side's fresh from winning a four-in-a-row of county titles, Ballygunner and Thurles Sarsfields renew their rivalry in the Munster club SHC.
