We preview the All Ireland football semi finals with Paul Flynn and Malachy Clerkin – can Kerry back up the best 15 minutes of their season against their old foes Tyrone? Meath are the story of the championship so far, but can they survive against Donegal? And we discuss why two pointer strategies decide who makes the final.
