August 02, 2018
The live cameras will be out again at GAA venues around the country this weekend.
It's going to be a massive August Bank Holiday weekend of GAA.
In all, there are ten games to watch live on television across two days.
Saturday sees the intriguing Super 8s clash between Galway and Monaghan. The first championship meeting of the Tribesmen and the Farney County in 80 years.
The Salthill fixture is being aired by Sky Sports who are also showing the other All-Ireland SFC Quarter-Final Phase 3 Group 1 tie, Kerry v Kildare, in Killarney. Both games throw-in at 6pm.
Meanwhile, TG4's coverage of the U21 Hurling Championships continues with a double-header of action at Nowlan Park. Cork and Wexford meet in the first of this year's All-Ireland A Semi-Finals at 4pm and that will be preceded by Derry v Kerry in the All-Ireland B Final (2pm).
Elsewhere, on Saturday, RTE are broadcasting two All-Ireland Camogie Senior Championship Quarter-Finals from Pairc Ui Chaoimh one after the other (Tipperary v Waterford, 5.30pm; Dublin v Galway, 7.15pm).
Sunday is a huge day with the All-Ireland SHC Semi-Final Replay taking place in Thurles, the GAA's birthplace, 100 years on from Gaelic Sunday. Both RTE and Sky Sports will be at Semple Stadium for the second installment of the Tribe and Banner men which throws in at 2pm.
RTE have a packed schedule for Sunday afternoon as the national broadcaster will also be airing Donegal's eagerly-awaited all-Ulster joust with Tyrone as well as the Super 8s final round 'dead-rubber' involving Dublin and Roscommon at Croke Park. Both games throw-in at 3.30pm.
