Championship 2024: This weekend’s football and hurling fixtures, throw-in times and TV details

The championship roared to life last week and there are several mouthwatering clashes in store again this weekend, with Cork’s Munster showdown against Clare the pick of the bunch in hurling, while in football all eyes will be on resurgent Donegal as they face Tyrone in an Ulster semi-final.
