The Ladies Gaelic Football Association has confirmed Facebook LIVE coverage for next Saturday’s (August 24) TG4 All-Ireland Ladies Junior Championship semi-finals from St Tiernach’s Park, Clones.

Louth take on Antrim in the first game at the Monaghan venue, with a 1pm throw-in time, followed by the meeting of Fermanagh and London at 2.45pm.

Viewers can watch both games on the LGFA’s Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/LadiesGaelicFootball/

The MAC AV team will bring you all of the action LIVE from St Tiernach’s Park, with coverage getting underway at 12.45pm.

Colm Corrigan is our man on commentary duty for both games, and he’ll be joined by former Louth star Orlaith Kirk for the Louth-Antrim clash, with Derry captain Cáit Glass linking up with Colm for the Fermanagh-London tie.

Louth were beaten All-Ireland Junior Finalists in 2018, and they’re seeking another big-day appearance at Croke Park.

Opponents Antrim last won the Junior title in 2012, and their previous Final appearance was in 2016, when the Saffrons lost out to Longford.

Fermanagh were TG4 All-Ireland Junior Champions two years ago, and they’re hoping for a second Final appearance in three years.

Opponents London, who were beaten semi-finalists against Limerick last year, are hoping to make it back to the Final for the first time since 2008.

The winners of both games will advance to the TG4 All-Ireland Junior Championship Final, which will be played at Croke Park on Sunday, September 15 (11.45am).
