The GAA season wound down for Christmas this weekend, with some thrilling club action up and down the country.
In hurling, the All-Ireland senior championship semi-finals were decided, with Ballyhale avenging last year's dramatic defeat to Ballygunner with an impressive win under the floodlights at Croke Park.
They will face off with Dunloy Cuchullains in the final, after the Antrim side defeated Galway's St Thomas in Sunday's other semi-final.
The showpiece GAA events, however, saw the All-Ireland junior ladies football, intermediate camogie, and senior camogie champions crowned.
Loughgiel Shamrocks would come up just short in their quest for an All-Ireland title against Sarsfields in Saturday's senior camogie final, with Galway side Sarsfields bringing the title back to the west.
We've compiled some of the best GAA shots from Sportsfile from the weekend, with photographers on duty at all five games.
