A huge weekend of club action lies ahead with nineteen county finals - thirteen in football and six in hurling - taking place across the country.

The Cork, Donegal, Galway, Kildare and Tyrone football finals are all fixed for Sunday afternoon. Nemo Rangers are aiming to capture their 20th Cork senior championship title, Kilcar's bid for a first Dr Maguire Cup triumph in 24 years faces a stern test against Glenties while Mountbellew-Moylough boss Michael Donnellan looks to steer his home club Corofin's 'drive for five' off course.

Kilcar stalwart Michael Hegarty (centre) will make his 86th championship appearance for his club in Sunday's DonegalSFC final. INPHO/Kieran Murray.

In Kildare, Celbridge will attempt to break Newbridge's stranglehold on the Bourke Cup when they face Moorefield. In Tyrone, Omagh and Errigal Ciaran meet in the O'Neill Cupfinal for the first time ever.

Elsewhere on Sunday, Maghery (Armagh), Scotstown (Monaghan) and Rhode (Offaly) put their respective county titles on the line while there will be new champions crowned in Antrim, Laois, Louth, Tipperary and Wicklow.

In hurling, the live television cameras will be at the Gaelic Grounds for the Limerick final between Na Piarsaigh and Kilmallock - a repeat of the 2014 decider.

Na Piarsaigh's Shane Dowling and Mark O'Loughlin of Kilmallock when both side's met in the 2014 Limerick SHC final. INPHO/Lorraine O'Sullivan.

Also on Sunday, former Clare star Fergal Lynch will lead Clooney-Quin into their first county senior final in 73 years against Sixmilebridge, Mount Leinster Rangers return to the biggest day on the Carlow hurling calendar and north Kerry rivals Ballyduff and Lixnaw meet for the second time in a week.

The other hurling finals down for decision are in Leitrim (Saturday) and London (Sunday).

There are still lots of county final places to be filled while Ulster giants Kilcoo and Slaughtneil renew their rivalry in the first of this year's provincial club SFC games.
