Both reigning All-Ireland champions are out this weekend in their respective provincial finals with Kerry worthy short-priced favourites to beat Cork in Killarney and Kilkenny a warm order to overcome Galway after easily dismantling Wexford in the Leinster semi-final.

With so many games down for decision and plenty of short-priced favourites over the weekend, it looks an ideal weekend for an accumulator.

Roscommon 6/5, Kerry 4/9, the Cork hurlers 4/11, the Dublin hurlers 1/10 and Kildare 4/9 would give a return of nearly €70 for a €10 stake and if you add in Jack Sheedy's Longford to beat Clare in their qualifier in Ennis at 13/8 you could be €180 richer for the same stake.
