Tonight's programme sees the first semi-final of the tournament with Gerald Kean's Mayfield at home in Cork to Aoibhinn Ni Shuilleabhain's Kiltimagh from Mayo. Fresh from their wins in their quarter finals, Mayfield and Kiltimagh bask in the knowledge that they have made it through to the next round of the competition. But neither team can rest on its laurels for long. With the semi-final looming, training gets under way in both camps as they prepare to face off in a crunch match for a place in the Celebrity Bainisteoir final. In Cork, Gerald's delight in the win is shortlived when he reviews the quarter-final match with mentor Dave Barry. Dave knows that the performance could have been better and that Mayfield have a lot of work to do. Training restarts in earnest when Dave invites All-Star and Cork player Niall Cahalane to take a session with Mayfield.

In Mayo, a review of their quarter-final shows Aoibhinn and the team that they too will have to put the work in if they want to triumph over their Cork rivals.

All-Ireland winning manager John O'Mahoney comes in for a session with the team and they train with the four-times All-Ireland winning Mayo Ladies team as well as getting in some pilates training to prepare for the big day. As match day approaches Kiltimagh are determined to put Gerald Kean in his place, but the Mayfield Bainisteoir won't be going down without a fight. Tune in to find out what happens when Mayfield take on Kiltimagh in a thrilling semi-final encounter.
