Ireland's cold snap of snow, ice, and frosty conditions wreaked havoc on GAA fixtures last weekend, but with the thaw due to set in for the weekend, there will be plenty of GAA on our screens. 

TG4 is at the forefront of the weekend's coverage with no less than five live games, including both senior Club football semi-finals alongside two All-Ireland hurling finals at Junior and Intermediate level. 

Saturday kicks off with the eagerly anticipated All-Ireland Club semi-final between Kerry kingpins Dr Crokes and the Canavan-inspired Errigal Ciaran side from Tyrone at 3pm.

The game was initially down to be played at Laois Hire O'Moore Park, Portlaoise but was moved to the newly redeveloped Cedral St Conleth's Park in Newbridge due to an unplayable surface in Portlaoise.

TG4's double-header continues when Sligo's Coolera Stradhill face off against Dublin giants Cuala at Kingspan Beffni Park in Cavan at 5pm, with the winners from both games advancing to the All-Ireland decider on January 19. 

On Sunday, Kilkenny's St Lachtain's meet Cork's Russell Rovers with the All-Ireland Junior hurling crown on the line at Croke Park with throw-in fixed for 12.30pm. GAA HQ will also host the All-Ireland Intermediate hurling final between Galway side Tynagh-Abbey/Duniry and Cork's Watergrasshill at 2.30pm. 

Parnell Park, Dublin will stage the All-Ireland Junior football semi-final meeting of Donegal's Naomh Padraig Muff and Cork's Kilmurray at 2pm, with TG4 providing live coverage on the TG4 Spórt YouTube channel.

The All-Ireland club intermediate football final between Mayo's Crossmolina Deel Rovers and Ballinderry, which was due to take place in Croke Park on Sunday at 4.30pm, has been postponed due to a "tragic event". Details of the rescheduled final are set to be released by the CCCC in due course.
