EirGrid Munster Under 21 Championship Semi-Finals

Waterford v Kerry, Fraher Field, 7.30pm

Clare examined Kerry's resolve last week, but Jack O'Connor's team had the character and class to respond when it truly mattered.

Matthew O'Sullivan bagged Kerry's goal in the 1-17 to 2-8 triumph over Clare, while Matthew Flaherty, Conor Geaney, and Cathal Bambury were others to impress.

Cork v Limerick, Pairc Ui Rinn, 7.30pm

Beaten in the 2016 All Ireland decider, Cork have won five Munster titles at this level in six years.

Limerick, though, will be hugely encouraged by their storming finish against Tipperary.

The Premier County led in the closing stages before Limerick forced extra-time and the Treatymen edged ahead.

Michael Donovan and Brian Donovan landed the decisive late scores for Limerick against Tipperary.

But Killian Ryan (broken hand) and Josh Ryan (suspended) will miss the game for Declan Brouder's team.

John Mullins, Gary Murphy, and Sean Powter have already been involved with the Cork seniors in the Allianz Football League in 2017.

CORK: Ross Donovan; Sean Daly, John Mullins, Sean Wilson; Jerry O'Riordan, Aidan Browne, Cian Kiely; Kevin Flahive, Sean O'Leary; Brian Coakley, Sean Powter, Daniel Meaney; Gary Murphy, Michael Dineen, Stephen Sherlock.

EirGrid Ulster Under 21 Championship Quarter-Finals

Tyrone v Donegal, Healy Park, 8pm

The counties participated in a tense provincial Semi-Final clash last year and an equally hard fought match is expected.

Donegal's Eoghan Gallagher and Stephen McBrearty have featured in Rory Gallagher's senior panel.

Tyrone are captained by Michael McKernan, with Trillick's Lee Brennan a gifted forward.

Fermanagh v Cavan, Brewster Park, 8pm

Pete McGrath takes charge of Fermanagh, who will be hoping to cause a surprise on home turf.

Conor McShea and David Teague are important forwards for Fermanagh, who will be aware of Cavan's good recent record at this grade.

Eoin Sommerville and Caoimhin O'Reilly are good footballers for Cavan, who will be gunning to advance to the last four.

FERMANAGH: Jack Kelly; Ben Daly, Rory McCaffrey, Conor Carney; Cian McManus, Michael Og McGarrigle, Danny Leonard; Niall Clarke, Damhan Sanderson; Keelan Kelly, Connor McAuley, Conor McShea; James Toye, David Teague, Conor McGee.

Armagh v Down, Athletic Grounds, 8pm

A year ago Down suffered a 5-16 to 0-9 defeat at Pairc Esler against Armagh.

Conor Deegan is in charge of Down and hopes players such as Mark Reid and Conor Francis can make an impact.

The promising Oisin O'Neill is a serious doubt for Armagh with a hamstring problem.

Monaghan v Derry, Inniskeen, 8pm

Holders Monaghan had to stay cool under pressure to defeat Antrim at The Dub last Wednesday.

Seamus McGarry was outstanding for the Saffrons, but Ciaran McBride's team still prevailed.

Dermot Gleeson and David Garland registered Monaghan's goals, who are without star forward Barry McGinn for the rest of the campaign due to a cruciate knee ligament injury.

Derry will include several current senior panelists with Ben McKinless and Danny Tallon highly rated players.
