15th Jul 2021

The GAA on TV this weekend is so good, we might just combust with excitment

Lee Costello

Is it the weekend yet?

The championship finally sparked into life last weekend with Derry and Donegal’s nail-biting match, and it’s all set up to be even juicier this weekend.

Armagh take on Monaghan in a game so close to call you couldn’t bet on it, and if it’s even possible, Tyrone and Donegal’s Ulster clash is even tougher to call.

The hurling hasn’t disappointed and will continue to entertain as Dublin play Kilkenny in their first Leinster final since 2014. Wexford pay Clare in a mouth-watering match-up and All-Ireland champions Limerick are in the Munster final against Tipperary.

A really big game is on Sunday afternoon, as we will finally find out who will be crowned the 2020 All-Ireland minor champions, when Derry take on Kerry live on TG4.

Roll on the weekend!!!
