Ah, yes.

Look, Kilkenny, 30 years ago was the last time they didn't feature in the All-Ireland Series.

And if they lose to Dublin tomorrow at Parnell Park, and if Offaly beat Kildare, Kilkenny are out.

Kilkenny have to win.

So Leinster actually has more on it than Munster.

We know from Munster that Limerick and Cork and Clare are all going through to the All-Ireland Series, but which two teams will be in the final?

Kerry Donegal this afternoon, the new All-Ireland Series.

The province has been parked now.

You have this new All-Ireland series which begins today.

The format looks complicated, but just to simplify it, you win two games, you're through to the quarterfinals.

You lose two games, you're out.

There's no third chance.

Kerry Donegal.

So either Kerry Donegal can afford to lose today, but he can't afford to lose a second time.

It'll come thick and fast.

It'll come thick and fast.

Westmeath, Roscommon, Armagh, all winning provincial titles after big gaps.

And you can just see the...

The joy and what it brings to ordinary people and the belonging that people have in communities around the championship.

That is the magic of the championship that sometimes separates it from other sports.
