MEN’S FOOTBALL: Notts County host AFC Wimbledon in the first leg of their League Two promotion play-off semi-final on Saturday evening, before Chesterfield meet Walsall in the other last four clash on Sunday. 

The Wombles finished a point above Notts County in the regular season, while Walsall, who missed out on promotion after leading the table for much of the season, were seven points clear of Chesterfield. 

RUGBY LEAGUE: It’s Challenge Cup semi-final weekend, with the men’s competition pitting Super League leaders Hull KR against Catalans Dragons and last year’s runners-up Warrington taking on 2023 champions Leigh.
