TG4 will have live coverage of Sunday week's inaugural All-Ireland U17 football final between Tyrone and Roscommon.
The game, which has a 12 noon throw-in, will be the first part of a triple-header at Croke Park on August 27 that also features the All-Ireland MFC semi-final between Dublin and Derry and the All-Ireland SFC semi-final between Dublin and Tyrone.
Roscommon fans, in particular, will be delighted to hear that the U17 game is being televised. Last Monday, the county board admitted that it "is unlikely that Roscommon GAA will get a sufficient allocation of tickets to meet the demand of our supporters" due to the fact that the Dublin v Tyrone senior clash is a sell-out.
