IT'S Cork and Kerry in Killarney this Saturday, John Cleary's side looking to avoid yet another loss in Fitzgerald Stadium. 

Can the Rebels pull off an unlikely win and the first on enemy soil since 1995? We break down where the game will be won and lost. Limiting David Clifford will be a help but they've done that before and still come up short.

On Sunday, the hurlers are in Walsh Park and carry the weight of expectation of the county with them. Will they thrive under the pressure and take a step towards Munster glory? We pick the likely starting 15 and go through the bench options, which could be a crucial factor in what will be a tight opener in the round-robin.

Plus we look at the minor and U20 action in recent weeks in both codes, as the U20 footballers gear up for Kerry and the hurlers take a break with two wins in the bank.
