Setanta Sports today announced details of the Allianz National League fixtures that they will be covering live in 2015. 

It all gets underway with a bang on Saturday, January 31st as All Ireland runners up Donegal, now under the stewardship of Rory Gallagher, take on Derry while the other live action on the night is another all Ulster clash as Mickey Harte's Tyrone square up to Malachy O'Rourke's Monaghan.

Donegal will also feature on Saturday, February 7th as they travel to Croke Park to take on Dublin in a re-match of the 2014 All Ireland semi-final in which Donegal shocked the Gaelic football world by coming out on top in one of the most talked about games of the year.  Setanta Sports viewers will be able to see the Dubs five times in all including the double header on March 7th as their footballers face Tyrone with their hurlers taking on Cork.

In total Setanta Sports will broadcast seventeen live games throughout the 2015 Allianz National Leagues with twelve Gaelic football games being featured and five Division 1 hurling matches.  The visit of All Ireland champions Kilkenny to Cork on the first weekend of the hurling league is one of the stand out fixtures.

Commenting on the announcement of the fixtures Brian Quinn, Director of Marketing Operations at Setanta Sports said; "These Saturday night games during the Allianz National Leagues have been a huge part of our schedule for the last four years and we're delighted with the quality of the games we'll be able to bring to our viewers in 2015.  They have grown in popularity with both fans attending the matches and those watching at home.

"It's great to be able to bring our subscribers a choice of two live games most weekends during the leagues with three games on offer on March 7th.  It's a sign of our continuing commitment to our national sports".
