Summer hurling is back upon us.
The small ball will take centre-stage this weekend as All-Ireland champions Tipperary look to bounce back from their league final defeat to Galway in April.
They take on Cork in the quarter-final of the Munster SHC at Semple Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
There's semi-final hurling in the Nicky Rackard Cup and in the Christy Ring Cup also, with Tyrone, Armagh, Antrim and Wicklow all in action.
Switching to the big ball, Monaghan will look to wrest back their Ulster Championship crown when they take on Fermanagh in their preliminary round on Saturday evening.
On Sunday, Donegal will take on Antrim in the quarter-final of the Ulster SFC, while an Aidan O'Shea-less Mayo set out on their quest to win back the Connacht SFC title when they take on Sligo.
The Leinster championship also kicks off this weekend, with Louth, Laois and Carlow taking on Wicklow, Longford and Wexford respectively.
You can look ahead to this weekend's action with Off The Ball's Dave McIntyre and Shane Stapleton on The Off The Ball GAA Podcast.
