It's getting near the business end of the All-Ireland intermediate and junior club championships in both football and hurling.

Connacht has already crowned its intermediate and junior hurling and football champions for 2015. Last Saturday week, Abbeyknockmoy (Galway) defeated Four Roads (Roscommon) to land the IHC title, while Sylane (Galway) overcame Calry/St. Joseph's (Sligo) in the JHC decider.

There was a Mayo double in yesterday's IFC and JFC finals when Hollymount/Carramore and Ardnaree Sarsfields accounted for Galway opponents Moycullen and Clifden respectively.

In Leinster, Athlone (Westmeath) and Ratoath (Meath) will contest the IFC final following their respective victories over Glynn-Barntown (Wexford) and Castledermot (Kildare) yesterday. On Saturday, Meath senior kingpins Kiltale defeated Portlaoise (Laois) to set up a Leinster IHC final showdown with Bennettsbridge of Kilkenny.

The JFC semi-finals take place next Sunday with Killashee (Longford) taking on Milltown (Westmeath) in Pearse Park and Curraha (Meath) facing Carlow's Grange at Pairc Tailteann. Also down for decision next Sunday are the JHC semi-finals. Lusmagh (Offaly) are at home to Trumera (Laois), while Glenmore (Kilkenny) host Louth senior champions St. Fechin's.

The Munster IFC final will be contested by St. Mary's (Kerry) and Carrigaline (Cork) following their respective semi-final wins over Corofin (Clare) and Oola (Limerick). Next Sunday will see Wolfe Tones of Clare and Cork's Newcestown face off in the IHC decider.

Fenor (Waterford) and Dungourney (Cork) are through to the Munster JHC final after overcoming Ennistymon (Clare) and Drom/Broadford (Limerick) last weekend. The Munster JFC semi-finals take place next Saturday with Coolmeen (Clare) facing Modeligo (Waterford) in Cooraclare and Bandon (Cork) squaring up to Templenoe (Kerry) in Clonakilty.

In Ulster, the IHC and JHC titles have gone to Creggan (Antrim) and Eoghan Rua (Derry). Both the IFC and JFC finals are slated for November 29. Bundoran (Donegal) will face Loughinisland (Down) in an intriguing IFC final after they saw off Glenavy (Antrim) and Doohamlet (Monaghan) yesterday.

Meanwhile, Faughanvale (Derry) and Rockcorry (Monaghan) will do battle for the JFC title following their respective semi-final wins over Templeport (Cavan) and Glasdrumman (Down).

The British winners will join the All-Ireland race at the quarter-final stage.
