Details for the All-Ireland club football semi-finals and hurling final have been confirmed by the GAA.
The All-Ireland club football semi-finals will take place as a double header at Croke Park on Sunday, January 8th.
Dublin’s Kilmacud Crokes will play Kerins O’Rahillys of Kerry at 1.30pm.
That will be followed by the meeting of Glen of Derry and Galway’s Moycullen at 3.30pm.
The hurling final, between Ballyhale Shamrocks and Dunloy, is pencilled in for Sunday, January 22d.
Kilmacud Crokes are the favourites for the football title, but their Kerry opponents will be no pushovers.

Connacht champions Moycullen will fancy themselves against Ulster champions Glen. Former Antrim player Owen Gallagher is a key player for the Galway side.

However, Glen could pull off another shock after winning their first Ulster title after beating defending All-Ireland champions Kilcoo.
Ballyhale Shamrocks will be the heavy favourites in the hurling final. They beat Waterford’s Ballygunner by one goal in a gripping semi-final, with the likes of TJ Reid and Eoin Cody starring for the Kilkenny side.
However, Dunloy will have other plans as they prepare for their first All-Ireland final since 2004.
