Saturday June 30: All-Ireland Minor A semi-finals Cavan v Galway; Moate, Westmeath, 2pm. Cavan haven’t contested an All-Ireland minor A final since 1980 but are potentially just an hour away from ending that long wait for another decider. But they’re against Galway, runners-up last year and aiming to reach the final for the fifth time in six years. Cavan will call upon a number of players who landed the Lidl All-Ireland Post-Primary Schools A title earlier this year, including Muireann Cusack, who scored two goals in that final against Loreto Clonmel. But Galway have a strong team of their own and at full-forward, Andrea Trill is a player of rich attacking quality. Cork v Dublin; MacDonagh Park, Nenagh, 3.15pm. Cork are the holders and aiming for a fourth successive All-Ireland minor A title this year. And there’s a healthy number of survivors from the team that landed three-in-a-row last year. Cork’s side includes Fiona Keating, who was the TG4 Munster Young Player of the Year in 2017, while Emma Cleary is daughter of team manager and former Cork All-Ireland winner John. But Dublin won’t be short on confidence after landing an eighth successive Leinster title. Dublin had a really good spread of scorers against Meath and Laura Carthy bagged 1-2 on the day, and forms one-third of an inside line that also includes excellent forwards Caoimhe O’Connor and Kate Sullivan.
