We’ll be focusing first today on the games in the Gaelic Grounds, Tuam Stadium and Páirc Sean MacDiarmada.

One change on the Castlebar Mitchels side from their Mayo county final win. Ray O’Malley comes into the defence with Ritchie Feeney moving up the pitch as Danny Kirby is unavailable due to suspension.

Changes on the Corofin team see Padraig Kelly in for Kieran Fitzgerald; Alan O’Donavan in for Michael Lundy and Ronan Burke in for Gary Delaney.

Corofin last contested the Connacht senior football final in 2011 when they lost to St Brigid’s, the current All-Ireland champions. Both hope to progress to a provincial final today.

Connacht SFC semi-final: Corofin went into a 0-1 to 0-0 lead against Castlebar Mitchels after a point from Ronan Steede before Tom King has now tied the teams at 0-1 apiece.

Munster SHC semi-final: Kevin Downes sends Na Piarsaigh, the provincial winners in 2011, into a 0-1 to 0-0 lead against Passage, the Waterford side making their debut at this stage.

New Dublin champions St Vincent’s are in Mullingar today for their Leinster quarter-final meeting with St Loman’s. And they’ve brought plenty colour to the Westmeath town it seems.
