With the inter-county season done and dusted for another year, the club scene will take centre stage from now until Christmas.
Barring draws, new senior hurling champions will be crowned in Laois, Kerry, Antrim, Down and Cavan, while there are three football finals down for decision also.
Camross and Clough-Ballacolla meet in the Laois SHC final for the first time ever at O'Moore Park, while holders Cushendall face a Ballycastle side bidding to win a first Volunteer Cup in 29 years in the Antrim SHC decider at Dunloy. The meeting of Kilmoyley and St. Brendan's in the Kerry SHC decider at Abbeydorney is also keenly anticipated.
The biggest crowd of the day is likely to be in Carrick-on-Shannon for the Leitrim SFC final between Glencar-Manor and Mohill. Glencar-Manor captured a four-in-a-row between 2008 and 2011, while Mohill are seeking their first title since 2006.
