A huge weekend of GAA action is upon us, with multiple counties from the South East in action.
Saturday, 10 June
The Tailteann Cup begins the focus of today's play. We enter the preliminary quarter-final stages with the South East heavily represented.
The action gets underway at 4.00 pm, with the meeting of Offaly and Wexford at Glenisk O'Connor Park.
Wexford will be hoping for a better result than last year, having fallen by a single point when the sides met in the preliminary round.
Each County finished second in their groups, winning one, losing one and drawing one en route to today's fascinating encounter.
If you can, get to Tullamore on Saturday for 4pm to see some more fabulous scores from our Senior Footballers, proudly supported by @Zurich_Irl and help drive them to victory. pic.twitter.com/wRIz9AFI8x

The Glen Dimplex All Ireland Senior Camogie Championship has two Group 2 games down for decision today.
First up from 5.00 pm, Tipperary host Dublin.
This will be a fascinating encounter following the Premier's resounding victory in the Munster final over Clare last month. Dublin will provide staunch resistance and were impressive in their narrow Leinster final defeat against Kilkenny.
An hour later, Kilkenny welcomes Wexford to UPMC Nowlan Park.
The Cats beat Tipperary to deny their neighbours a place in the league final, with the All-Ireland champions illustrating their enduring class.
Player of the year, Miriam Walsh is a loss after suffering a cruciate knee ligament injury early in the season. Mary O’Connell is another omission after confirming her plans to travel this year.
Colin Sunderland is in his first season as Wexford manager and has overseen some change in the Yellowbelly ranks. They only found Waterford too strong for them in the Division 1B final of the League and possess more than enough talent to be a factor.
Sunday, 11 June
Hurling takes centre stage on Sunday, with two of the finest occasions in the domestic sporting calendar to play out in Leinster and Munster.
Kilkenny goes to battle with Galway for provincial honours in Leinster, with throw-in set for 4.00 pm in Croke Park.

This will mark the ninth Leinster Final meeting between the pair, with Kilkenny holding a 5-2 advantage and one draw. In total, it will be the 51st Championship meeting between the hurling heavyweights, with Derek Lyng's side reigning supreme by 33-13 and four drawn.
Galway manager Henry Shefflin played against Galway on thirteen occasions and won six provincial titles while playing alongside Lyng for his beloved County.
