Here comes the summer.
The GAA Championships are in full swing and arguably the biggest football match of the year thus far will take place in Salthill on 11 June.
Last year’s beaten All-Ireland finalists Mayo eased their way back on to the road to Croker with a win over Sligo, but next up is a trip to Galway to take on their most fierce rivals in a Connacht SFC semi-finals.
Stephen Rochford’s team are headed to Pearse Stadium in search of revenge for defeat at the same stage last year, but Kevin Walsh’s National League Division 2 champions will be no pushovers.
A summer sizzler on a Salthill Sunday, the City of the Tribes promises to be hopping and we at SportsJOE are on hand to offer the perfect way to kickstart the weekend.
We’ve teamed up with our partners AIB again this year to take our GAA Hour Live show back on the road, pitching up at An Púcán in Galway City on Thursday 8 June, to preview Sunday’s match and celebrate one of Gaelic football’s greatest rivalries.
GAA Hour host Colm Parkinson will be joined by an all-star cast, including Galway legend and the bane of Mayomen Padraic Joyce, Derek Savage, with John Maughan and Conor Mortimer adding a Mayo perspective, plus Marc Ó Sé of Kerry.
Tickets are, of course, FREE but also limited, so please fill in the form below to register your interest to join us for an unmissable night of proper football chat.
WHERE: An Púcán, 11 Forster Street, Galway.
WHEN: Thursday, 8 June. Doors 6.30pm. Show starts @ 7.30pm.
Please note this is a strictly over-18s event.
