Sky Sports will broadcast its first GAA double-header of 2015 this Saturday.

First up on Sky Sports 5 is the Leinster SHC semi-final meeting of Galway and Laois, with coverage starting at 4.30pm, and that will be followed by the Connacht SFC semi-final, Sligo versus Roscommon where coverage starts at 6.45pm.

Seamus 'Cheddar' Plunkett and the O'Moore County hurlers celebrated a long overdue victory over neighbours Offaly last time out but Galway, fresh from their impressive replay victory over Dublin, represent a major step up in class.

12 months ago, the Tribesmen came from behind to score a 1-22 to 0-23 quarter-final victory over Laois.

Hurling analysts Jamesie O'Connor, JJ Delaney and Ollie Canning will be on hand to run the rule over the action in the company of presenters Rachel Wyse and Brian Carney.

Meanwhile, John Evans and Roscommon will be aiming to book a provincial final date with Mayo at the expense of Sligo.

The Rossies enter the penultimate clash as favourites having already claimed FL Division 2 honours this year but will Niall Carew and the Yeats County have a surprise up their sleeve for the primrose and blues?

Football analysts Peter Canavan, Jim McGuinness and Senan Connell will throw their expert eye over proceedings in Markievicz Park.

Sky Sports News will show highlights as well as news, interviews and results on their 24-hour news channel, while skysports.com/GAA will have match reports, fixtures and interviews as well as news, blogs, videos and galleries.

Sky Sport customers can watch live on TV, or on  mobile or tablet devices with Sky Go.

Tune in to Sky Sports 5 at 4.30pm for all the team news and build-up to the hurling game, which throws in at 5pm. The Connacht semi-final is scheduled to start at 7pm.
