Saturday Sport: Cork host Kerry, Leinster into URC semi-finals

GAA

Kerry lead Cork by two points to one early on in their clash in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship at Pairc Ui Chaoimh.

The Kingdom are aiming to make it two wins from two, having opened with a victory over Roscommon.

Down take on Leinster champions Louth at half-five, Roscommon welcome Meath to the Hyde at 6pm and Tyrone look to build on their win at Donegal when they host Mayo at 7pm.

Limerick have sealed a spot in the quarter-finals of the Tailteann Cup.

The Division Four League champions edged out Westmeath by 19-points to 18 in Portlaoise to win their group.

Antrim hurling manager Davy Fitzgerald has been hit with an eight-week ban by the GAA.

He's been suspended for comments criticising officials following Antrim's defeat to Galway in the Leinster Championship earlier this month.

Fitzgerald had claimed he was 'despised' by a number of referees in the wake of his side's 28-point loss in Salthill.

Soccer

European football's biggest trophy is up for grabs tonight as Paris Saint-Germain play Inter Milan in the Champions League final in Munich.

Victory will see the French side complete the treble if they can add the title to their Ligue 1 ((pron: un)) and French Cup triumphs.

Inter are hoping to win the tournament for the fourth time in their history.

Kick-off is at 8:00.

Rugby

Leinster and Munster begin their URC playoff campaigns this afternoon.

Leo Cullen's side welcome the Scarlets to the Aviva Stadium for their quarter-final from 3.

Meanwhile, Munster are in Durban to take on a Springbok-laden Sharks from 5.30.
