All Ireland Championships Betting Tips
The GAA's showpiece games are set and the next two Sundays will see Croke Park packed to the rafters for the All-Ireland Finals in hurling and football.
This Sunday, July 20th, Cork aim to end a two-decade wait for the Liam MacCarthy Cup to return to Leeside when they face Tipperary in the All-Ireland SHC decider.
A week later, July 27th, the Senior Football Championship will conclude as Kerry and Donegal meet in a mouthwatering contest to decide the destination of the Sam Maguire Cup.
Here's our tips for the biggest GAA games in the season.
Rebels can rise to the top
Cork have been favourites for the All-Ireland Hurling crown for most of the year, rubber-stamped by their Allianz Hurling League win in the spring.
Bar one blip, when they were pushed around by Limerick in the Munster round robin in May, Pat Ryan's side have been justifying their status.
The avenged that loss to Limerick - narrowly it has to be said - in the Munster final and the subsequent demise of John Kiely's side has opened the door wide for Cork.
Limerick were ousted by Dublin, before Cork ransacked the boys in blue in the semi-final with a bludgeoning 7-26 tally in a seismic Croke Park hammering.
Tipperary have come of age this summer for manager Liam Cahill and they showed enormous guts to down Kilkenny in the last four after having a man sent off.
They were, however, beaten by 15 points when they met Cork in the Munster Championship and even allowing for Darragh McCarthy's early red card, the Rebels were far superior.
Cork's pursuit of goals can ensure they win this final with a bit to spare against a gallant but ultimately still inexperienced Tipp side.
Jimmy's winning matches again
The Donegal ditty that accompanied their 2012 All-Ireland title was all about manager Jim McGuiness and his propensity for winning matches.
The Tir Conaill side have risen again in McGuinness' second coming as boss, landing back to back Ulster titles and now back in the All-Ireland final for the first time since the Glenties man left the job in the wake of their 2014 defeat.
As fate would have it, they meet Kerry again in the decider. The Kingdom stung Donegal in a fairly dismal decider 11 years ago and they haven't met in the Championship since.
After his side won the Ulster title in Clones, McGuinness famously admonished the BBC's Mark Sidebottom for suggesting that 'Jimmy's winning matches again', preferring to heap praise on his players.
There can be little doubting that McGuinness' return has been pivotal to Donegal's resurgence, with captain Paddy McBrearty admitting after they demolished Meath by 20 points in the semi-final that Donegal had 'massively underachieved' in the decade since McGuinness brought them to their last All-Ireland final.
Now they face Kerry, the great aristocrats of Gaelic football in the showpiece. Kerry and, of course, David Clifford - to many eyes the greatest player of his and any other generation.
Can Clifford repel Donegal? Must he do it almost single-handedly? It would be churlish to suggest the latter as Jack O'Connor has quality throughout his team, but Donegal arguably have even more right now, as evidenced by the calibre of sub introduced in the win over Meath.
In Peadar Mogan, Finbarr Roarty, Ryan McHugh and rising star Ciaran Moore, Donegal have the most prolific and powerful runners in this new era of football under the FRC's rule changes.
They may eventually run the finish out of Clifford and Kerry and ensure that Sam is once more for the Hills.
