All the weekend’s Gaelic games previews

Today
Allianz Hurling League Division 2B Final
Down v Wicklow, Páirc Tailteann, 3.0 – Wicklow corner forward Mikey Lee scored 2-14 last time out against Fingal, Curbing him will send Down a long way towards promotion.
Verdict: Down

Allianz Football League, Division Three
Limerick v Cavan, Gaelic Grounds, 4.0 – Nothing at stake here. Cavan are promoted, Limerick are mid-table.
Verdict: Cavan

All Ireland Colleges Hurling Final
Kilkenny CBS v St Kieran's College, Nowlan Park, 5.0 – Having twice crossed swords already this season (both won a game apiece) Kilkenny's pair of hurling factories face off in the first time two schools from the same county have made the final. St Kieran's can be forgiven for coming in with a slight chip on their shoulder after being upstaged in the Leinster final by a brilliant CBS display. But if the ever-accurate Andrew Gaffney continues the fine performances, CBS might just have enough.
Verdict: Kilkenny CBS

Tomorrow
(All game 3.0 unless stated)
Allianz Football League Division One
Tyrone v Dublin, Healy Park, Omagh (Live on TG4) – You have to hand it to Dublin – they are living off relative scraps at the minute and still surviving. They go to Omagh without Stephen Cluxton, it will be a patchwork Dublin team that lines out, one that could badly do with the extra games a win here would bring.

A change at wing-back apart, Tyrone go with the same side that drew in Cork. Kyle Coney doesn’t need telling of the dubious worth of one swallow and his partners in the inside forwards Darren McCurry and Conor McAlliskey will both be smarting after departing early last week.

Neither team has been hugely impressive, yet both sides have obvious claims. Cluxton's absence to swing it .
Verdict: Tyrone

Kerry v Cork, Austin Stack Park, Tralee (Deferred coverage, TG4) – Brian Cuthbert smiled at the idea that last week's point against Tyrone was good because it meant getting qualification out of the way. "Well, it's not as though we're going to go to Tralee as Cork men and not try just because we're in the semi-final." Nonetheless, he has experimented a little with Paddy Kelly at centre-back.

Kerry need an experimental Derry side to beat Mayo if they're to have any chance of making the last four. While it's unlikely, Kerry have to keep their end up James O'Donoghue has rivalled Kevin McLoughlin for player of the league and it will be interesting to see if Cork attach Michael Shields to him from the start .
Verdict: Kerry

Mayo v Derry, MacHale Park, Castlebar – You wouldn't say Derry have taken a dive here but it's definitely a skeleton crew Brian McIver will bring to Castlebar with him. McIver is well entitled to let them cool their jets ahead of the semi-final. Hard to imagine anything other than a comfortable Mayo victory all the same.
Verdict: Mayo

Kildare v Westmeath, St Conleth's Park, Newbridge – Not a lot to see here. Both sides have been relegated with a game to go and have had miserable league campaigns. They both need a win badly. Kildare's greater scoring power will probably do the trick.
Verdict: Kildare

Division Two
Armagh v Donegal, Athletic Grounds – Could be a nervous afternoon for Armagh. Donegal only need a draw to be sure of promotion but when they have won so far this year, they've tended to win big and if they get a run on the home side, they could leave them sweating on the result in Portlaoise. Aaron Kernan, Kevin Dyas and Finnian Moriarty are all easing their way back and that experience is vital if they're to get anywhere. Donegal should have too much in hand.
Verdict: Donegal

Laois v Down, Portlaoise – For different reasons, both sides need to win here and hope other sides do them a favour. Any defeat for Laois and they're down. They haven't shown much quality in this league. Down need to win and win big.
Verdict: Down

Monaghan v Galway, Clones – Monaghan's progress through the league has been pretty serene, backboned by the longest unbeaten home record in the country. With most of their big players back in harness, they should see promotion out against a Galway side that has yet to spark.
Verdict: Monaghan

Louth v Meath, Gaelic Grounds, Drogheda – Louth are down, Meath's awful points difference will keep them from promotion unless they run up a gargantuan win. All that's at stake is local enmity, as if that could ever not be enough. Louth have just never been close to the dynamic side of early last summer so far this year.
Verdict: Meath

Division Three
Wexford v Longford, Wexford Park – The only game in the division where anything is at stake. Given the array of attacking talent on show, it seems perverse that one of these sides will be in Division Four come tomorrow teatime. And yet scoring is where they've fallen down, both hovering around the 14-points-per-game mark. A draw will do Longford but Wexford need to win. Longford's home form to keep them up.

Roscommon v Sligo, Dr Hyde Park – Roscommon are up, Sligo are safe, they're not even on the same side of the Connacht draw. A dead rubber.
Verdict: Roscommon

Fermanagh v Offaly, Brewster Park, Enniskillen – A challenge game.
Verdict: Fermanagh

Division Four
Antrim v Clare Creggan, 2.0 – The only game that matters in this division, with Clare on course to join Tipperary in Division Three. Antrim are coming into a little bit of form after making a mess of the early rounds.
Verdict: Antrim

Tipperary v Wicklow, Semple Stadium, 2.0 – Tipp had no business being in Division Four and should confirm it here to end Wicklow's promotion hopes.
Verdict: Tipperary

London v Leitrim, Ruislip, 2.0 – Still baby steps for London but Leitrim owe them.
Verdict: Leitrim

Waterford v Carlow, Dungarvan, 2.0 – Waterford to avoid the wooden spoon.
Verdict: Waterford

Allianz Hurling League Division 2A Final
Kerry v Carlow, Semple Stadium, 3.45 – Should be a decent encounter. Carlow have reintegrated the Mount Leinster Rangers contingent, which ought to give them the whip-hand here.
Verdict: Carlow

Division 3A Final
Roscommon v Donegal, Markievicz Park, 2.0
Verdict: Roscommon

Division 3B Final
Tyrone v Leitrim, Markievicz Park, 3.45
Verdict: Tyrone
