The gift that keeps on giving.
TG4 have been bossing GAA coverage for years now but it’s only recently that they’re getting the credit.
From broadcasting the best of the brilliant Under-21 Championships to local club games all over onto the League clashes that we wouldn’t see anywhere else, TeilifÃs Na Gaeilge ensures we always have our fill of GAA coverage.
It’s always a quality production, too. Main man MÃcheál O Domhnaill is a stalwart who has wide ranging knowledge on hurling and football and his interviews are always natural and easy to watch.
Alongside him, you’ve Cathal Moore who knows his onions, as does Donal Ó Grady, Pat Fleury and many many more.
The weekend just past was one of the most entertaining in recent GAA memory. The lads on channel 104 made sure we missed little with live coverage from Wexford Park, from Ballybofey and from GAA HQ. GAA Beo on Monday night had all the highlights in one polished package then on Monday night.
Where would we be without them? Jesus we’d probably get more done at the weekends but then we’d be missing out on one of life’s great pleasures – watching GAA live.
This weekend is set to be the best yet.
Drum roll please…
All four Allianz Football League finals will be aired live.
The two hurling semis will be broadcast, with Kilkenny and Wexford’s clash on Sunday ‘iarbheo’ after the Division One football decider.
A Chairde, your weekends #GAA viewing has been sorted. See image attached for details and stay tuned for times etc. #GAABEOABÚ #GAABEO #TG4 What do you think of that @JoeBrolly1993 ! pic.twitter.com/yaPFa6yPpH

But the best and most creditable of all of their decisions, is having the Croke Cup final, between St Kieran’s and Athenry also available.
Kieran’s have been beaten already this year in Leinster, but progressed anyway because it was the amalgamation of Dublin North College’s that defeated them.
Meanwhile, Athenry just about edged Kilkenny CBS in the semi-final, so this promises to be an evenly matched cracker.
Go raibh mÃle maith agaibh, TG4.
