Emlyn Mulligan couldn’t be any hungrier for this.

The Melvin Gaels clubman went under the knife last June after a third cruciate injury of his career, and missed a huge part of the preparation for the 2018 championship.

James Glancy doesn’t want to think that way, but he is fearful of Leitrim’s trip to New York this weekend. The forward made a couple of visits to the Big Apple during his 12 years playing for the county, and each time they ransacked Gaelic Park in the Bronx with relative ease.

Laois and Carlow are eyeing the big time this week.

Paddy Durcan narrowly missed out on an All-Ireland but he wants to get back in the hunt.

But first comes the provincial road, for which Pauric Mahony, Seadna Morey, Aidan Harte and Aidan Walsh are also gearing up.

There's another huge weekend of club action on the way. Neighbours, family connections, and even brothers on opposing sides. Plenty of titles on the line too.

Galway might the one Connacht county playing at Liam MacCarthy level, but it’s not the only part of the western province where hurling matters.

It’s getting to the business time of the year in the provincials as Leinster heads for the football quarter-finals and Munster to the semis.

AIB Club Championships: Talking points and all the weekends fixtures

It’s getting to the business time of the year in the provincials as Leinster heads for the football quarter-finals and Munster to the semis.

Returning players and managers are fighting for more silverware, and inter-county referees are playing their part on the other side of the fence.

Aughawillan (Leitrim) v St Brigid's (Roscommon)

There are three Plunkett brothers on the Aughawillan team: full back Noel, as well as wing-forwards Mark and Gary. And it took a late ‘45 from Mark to seal the county final win over Glencar/Manorhamilton. This is a designated home game for St Brigid’s but because Hyde Park is being upgraded and since 2011 the Connacht council have forbidden clubs to host home games in the province, they have to go elsewhere. All of which means the staging of this game in Carrick-On-Shannon makes it a de facto home game for the away side.

Mullinalaghta (Longford) v St Loman's (Westmeath)

Donal, Ruairi, Aidan and Conor McElligott have all been central figures as Mullinalaghta secured a first Longford title in 66 years and then beat Stradbally of Laois in the first round of Leinster. Their father Dan hails from Kerry and the name of his native town, perhaps unsurprisingly, is Ballymacelligott.
