There is club football championship action in three of the four provinces today.
The two standout fixtures are in Leinster and Connacht. All-Ireland champions St. Vincent's meet Portlaoise in a repeat of last year's Leinster final in a mouth-watering quarter-final at O'Moore Park. Over in the West, meanwhile, 2013 All-Ireland kingpins St. Brigid's face a difficult assignment against Ballintubber in the Connacht semi-final at Elvery's MacHale Park.
The other Connacht semi-final will see Corofin travel to Carrick-on-Shannon to face 1/100 underdogs Aughawillan.
In the other three Leinster quarter-finals, Rathnew entertain Moorefield in Aughrim, 2012 winners Garrycastle travel to Killoe, while Rhode take on Navan O'Mahony's in Tullamore.
In what has become a wide open Ulster club SFC following the demise of Crossmaglen and St. Gall's, newly-crowned Donegal champions St. Eunan's host Roslea in Letterkenny and Slaughtneil meet Cavan Gaels in Owenbeg.
