SaturdayAll-Ireland SFC, Round 1Kerry v Donegal, Fitzgerald Stadium, 3pm (Live on GAA+)This counts as a proper injury list for Kerry now. No Seán O’Shea, no Shane Ryan, no Tom O’Sullivan, no Gavin White, no Paul Murphy, no Paul Geaney. Armin Heinrich started the Munster final and doesn’t appear in the matchday 26 here either. Any way you spin it, that’s a weakened hand against one of the very few teams that can feasibly go to Killarney and beat them.That’s not to say Donegal have every engine firing either. There’s talk and doubletalk about injuries to both Michaels, Langan and Murphy. If the word about either of them is correct, Donegal will be diminished. If both of them are out, it could be curtains.Kerry aren’t infallible in Killarney, as Mayo showed in 2023. Jim McGuinness and his brains trust have had four weeks to park the Down defeat and were able to study Kerry in battlefield conditions a fortnight ago. They will prod Shane Murphy’s kick-outs for weaknesses and the constant movement of their forwards will be aimed at isolating the young Kerry cornerbacks. Donegal have never lost two championship matches in a row under McGuinness. The Down defeat must be needling him though – they were so uncommonly lax that day that you’d wonder if it hints at a deeper problem. Injuries or no, Killarney would be an unlikely place to solve it. Verdict: KerryCork v Meath, Páirc Uí Rinn, 5.30pm (Live on GAA+)The sides meet for the third time this season – with one win apiece following their two league clashes. Cork beat Meath by two points at Páirc Uí Rinn in February, while the Royals evened the score with the same margin of victory in the Division 2 final at Croke Park in March. After the two matches the combined scores read: Cork 3-40 Meath 2-43. So, fair to say there isn’t a sliver between them.It will be interesting to see how Meath have responded to their Leinster Championship defeat to Westmeath. At the time it felt like a loss that could potentially halt their momentum, but Robbie Brennan’s side beat Mayo in a recent challenge match and both Mathew Costello and Ronan Jones are returning from spells out injured.Mathew Costello returns for Meath after a spell out injured.

John Cleary’s side didn’t fully deliver the kind of performance many Cork fans would have hoped for in the Munster final against Kerry either, so it is very much a case of two teams trying to find a second wind here. Verdict: MeathGalway v Kildare, Pearse Stadium, 7.30pm (Live on RTÉ2)Kildare are long overdue a scalp in the championship. They beat a Roscommon team that had finished third in Division 1 in 2023 but coughed up a killer late score to Monaghan in the first knockout game. You have to go back to the ‘Newbridge or Nowhere’ game against Mayo for the last time they bloodied the nose of a contender. Eight years on, Kevin Feely is the only survivor.They have a huge task here against a Galway side that lost very little in defeat in the Connacht final. Yes, they threw away a lead in the closing stages, but that’s a fixable problem. The grim, grinding injury lists of the past few seasons seem to be shortening all the while, and if Damien Comer can start putting in displays like that back-to-back, they have a multipronged attack that very few can match.Events of last Sunday showed there was no shame in Kildare getting overrun by Westmeath in extra-time the last day. But in nine games in league and championship this year, their only wins have been against Laois and Offaly. Feels unlikely they’re at this level.

Given what Armagh have achieved since, it would be dangerous to assume this is anything but a very tricky fixture for Roscommon. Mark Dowd’s side play a lovely brand of football and it says much of their progress that their game plan no longer centrally depends on Enda Smith playing well. Darragh Heneghan has been a revelation, his pace and direct running making him a real threat, while Diarmuid Murtagh has been in great form and Daire Cregg is itching to reaffirm his starting credentials. With the likes of Ruaidhrí Fallon and Brian Stack having another couple of weeks preparation under their belts since the Connacht decider, it looks like a squad getting even stronger. For Tyrone, if Conn Kilpatrick can reproduce his form from the Armagh game then the visitors could gain a foothold in the middle of the field. Roscommon must have a plan to negate him. If they can get on top of the Tyrone kickouts, the hosts have the forwards to win. Verdict: RoscommonTailteann CupThis weekend sees the first football counties make their exit from the championship, as the losers in Round 2B won’t be asked back. The winners will play the losers from Round 2A.The highest-ranking match on view is Offaly v Down, a re-run of the 1961 All-Ireland final, which still holds the record GAA attendance – 90,556. The counties passed each in the exchanges between Divisions 2 and 3 earlier in the season.Down’s Pat Havern during the Ulster quarter-final against Donegal. Photograph: Lorcan Doherty/Inpho Down went on to spring a major surprise by downing the All-Ireland finalists Donegal but the scale of the subsequent defeat by Armagh plus their hearts having been set on playing Tier 1, maybe compromises their motivation.Offaly had a terrible league campaign but were impressive in beating Clare in Ennis and with home advantage, might be feisty enough competitors against the 2024 winners.Tailteann Cup, Round 2ALondon v Laois, McGovern Park, Ruislip, Saturday, 2pmOffaly v Down, O’Connor Park, Saturday, 6pmFermanagh v Wexford, Brewster Park, Sunday, 1pm (Live on GAA+)Antrim v Tipperary, Corrigan Park, Sunday, 3.15pmTailteann Cup, Round 2BWicklow v Limerick, Aughrim, Saturday, 4pmClare v Longford, Cusack Park, Ennis, Saturday, 5pmLeitrim v Carlow, Páirc Seán MacDiarmada, Saturday, 5.30pmWaterford v Sligo, Fraher Field, Sunday, 1pm
