All you need to know: Football Championship weekend (RTE.ie)

SATURDAY 7 MAY. Munster SFC semi-final. Cork v Kerry, Páirc Uí Rinn, 6pm. SUNDAY 8 MAY. Connacht SFC semi-final. Galway v Leitrim, Pearse Stadium, 3.30pm.

Please review their details and accept them to load the content. The old stagers Ryan McHugh, named Man of the Match, and Michael Murphy came to the fore in the second half, shrewdly closing out the match with a minimum of fuss. Their slaughter at the hands of Mayo in last year's provincial semi-final - all the more uncomfortable for being televised - cranked up further pressure on the provincial councils. There was a bit greater thrust and purpose to their attacks when it mattered against Armagh. The memory of the 2020 upset should ward off any hint of complacency on Sunday. They are favoured to reach a 10th Ulster final in 12 years. While Cavan escaped Division 4 in the spring, the manner of their promotion left certain observers underwhelmed. Cavan blitzed their Division 3 opposition in Corrigan Park, Paddy Lynch a constant menace inside, Gearoid McKiernan and James Smith powering forward from the middle third. Sunday: Mist and fog will clear away early in the morning to leave a day with a mix of cloud and sunny spells with some light outbreaks of rain. Please review their details and accept them to load the content. Cork, by contrast, are likely to be without one of their key players in Sean Powter. From that nadir, they rallied, the classy Steven Sherlock kicking them to victory against a Down side who were even lower on morale. But now they've run out of carrots and some are reaching for the stick. Once upon a time, the annual collision of these two was a blue-riband tie.

Ulster SFC, Cavan v Donegal - how the Breffnimen rated (The Irish News)

Raymond Galligan: Under pressure from Michael Murphy, he couldn't clear the danger in the build-up to Donegal's first goal.

Scored three points from play in the first half and added three frees. Shut down the space in front of McBrearty and pushed forward in the second half. Came into his own in the second half when he kicked three points on-the-trot to drag Cavan back into a game that was slipping away from them. Two points (one of either foot) in quick succession opened up a three-point gap in the first half. A strong runner and tenacious tackler, Langan improved in the second half but Brady kept a lid on him.

Ulster SFC, Cavan v Donegal - how the Tir Chonaill players rated (The Irish News)

Shaun Patton: Cavan only pushed up on his kick-outs when they were chasing the game late on, but the Letterkenny man was typically unfazed.

Put Donegal ahead for the first time and his menacing presence under the high ball spread panic in the Cavan defence, leading to their first goal. Study in economy after the break, landed a cracking point without looking at the posts and in the right place to slam home late goal. Shot that dropped short led to first goal. Ciaran Thompson: Roamed around to try and get on the ball but struggled to get into the game until after the break. 7 Shaun Patton: Cavan only pushed up on his kick-outs when they were chasing the game late on, but the Letterkenny man was typically unfazed.

Cavan vs Donegal: Player ratings from Sunday's Ulster SFC semi ... (Belfast Live)

Declan Bonner's men booked their place in the provincial final with a six-point victory over the Breffnimen.

When Cavan had Donegal on the backfoot in the first half, it was Jamie Brennan who managed to keep the scoreboard ticking over. Posted 1-4 with 1-1 coming from play and illustrated his undoubted class by killing the game off with Donegal’s second goal. Cavan opted to go direct for the majority of the first half, but Donegal got to grips with them in the second half and Mogan also got forward more late on. Seemed to pick up a knock in the second half and was replaced after 50 minutes. Failed to score and was replaced with 15 minutes to go. The decision to move Brendan McCole off Lynch and put Eoghan Ban Gallagher on to Cavan’s full-forward, arguably, was the difference in the second half. One of the most exciting talents in Ulster, Donegal couldn’t live with Lynch in the first half as he hit 0-5, with 0-3 coming from play. However, Donegal could have scored three or four in the second half. Operated as a sweeper and Donegal were kept away from goal in the first half. Slow to start, but was hugely influential in the second half and scored 0-3. Less involved in the second half. Landed a good score and played some brilliant passes in the opening quarter.
