ALLIANZ NATIONAL HURLING LEAGUE DIVISION THREE FINAL

Mayo v London

Manguard Park Newbridge (Kildare), Saturday at 1.30 pm

It’s a case of unstoppable force versus immovable object in this showdown for silverware on Saturday. Mayo have been in flying form in 2025 but now face the only side to beat them this year - albeit narrowly.

Expect a tantalising clash in Newbridge.

LIDL LADIES NATIONAL LEAGUE DIVISION ONE

Waterford v Mayo

Kilmacthomas (Waterford), Saturday at 2.30 pm (LIVE on TG4 YouTube)

There’s no two ways about it: this is a must-win for the Mayo Ladies. Liam McHale’s side will be heading to take on a Waterford side with plenty of talent. However, there is hope that the hosts will be resting some key names given the fact that they are out of both League final and relegation contention.

ALL-IRELAND U-20 ‘B’ HURLING CHAMPIONSHIP QUARTER-FINAL

Mayo v Tyrone

James Stephens Park Ballina, Sunday at 2.15 pm

It’s last-eight action in Ballina, as Tyrone make the trip to take on their Mayo counterparts, and only one side will be left standing in the hunt for the Richie McElligot Cup.

Manager Brian Finn will be hoping that Sean McGhee and company will be able to get off to a winning start and take their learnings from last season’s heavy Down defeat.

ALLIANZ FOOTBALL LEAGUE DIVISION ONE FINAL

Mayo v Kerry

Croke Park, Sunday at 4 pm (LIVE on TG4)

If you’d gone to the bookies and asked for the odds of Mayo making the National League Final on February 2, you’d have gotten some great odds. Mayo looked doomed to go down on the day when Galway came to town, and in fairness, nearly did.

Now, a shot at being the first side to lift the Corn Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh, and a chance to fine-tune things in advance of the Connacht Championship is on offer.
