Monaghan manager Malachy O'Rourke has named an unchanged side that beat Fermanagh in the quarter-finals. There is a surprise though, as he has placed Darren Hughes on the bench who was supposedly ruled out for three months, after sustaining a knee injury in a club game in April, so there is a possibility now of Hughes coming on.

Connacht Senior Football Championship - Semi-Final, Mayo v Galway 

Going west, and Galway will face Mayo in for a place in the Connacht Football Final. The semi-final's throw in is at 4pm, and coverage will be shown on RTÉ 2.

For Mayo, Jason Doherty will replace an injured Conor O'Shea in the full forward line, while Aidan O'Shea has again not been named in the starting 15, however you can bet will most likely be brought on.
