The action starts next weekend with live hurling on Friday and Saturday night. Settle in for the next few afternoons...
Despite the fixture list being upended due to Covid-19, GAA fans will be very happy to see that the action is set to return to the screens for the first time since March, as TG4 launch their club coverage for 2020.
The channel’s flagship series GAA BEO will hit the ground running with two exceptional hurling ties next weekend, one on Friday night and the other on Sunday afternoon.
On Friday, July 17th, they begin with live coverage from the Pettitt's Supervalu Wexford Senior Hurling Championship when champions St. Martin’s clash with old rivals Oulart-The Ballagh.
On Sunday, July 19th, there is another heavyweight clash when Ballyboden St. Enda’s and Kilmacud Crokes face off in a repeat of the 2018 Dublin county final.
TG4's club championship coverage will continue each week with live football and hurling coverage from across the country and details of the first three weeks of coverage have been outlined below.
Brian Tyers resumes as commentator with analysis from the likes of Liam Rushe, Michael Rice, Diarmuid Lyng, Donal O’Grady in hurling, and Aodán Mac Gearailt, Kevin Cassidy, Seán Óg de Paor and Jarlath Burns among others in football.
