Sky Sports will be live in Thurles and Salthill this Saturday to bring armchair GAA fans two All-Ireland SFC qualifiers.

First up is the round 3B clash of Tipperary and Tyrone with coverage starting at 2.30pm.

Tipperary experienced little difficulty in disposing of Louth last Saturday but the Red Hands represent a significant step up in opposition.

Mickey Harte's charges finished with two points to spare over visitors Meath in Omagh (1-10 to 0-11) last weekend but, afterwards, the manager admitted that they have plenty of room for improvement.

Meanwhile, in Pearse Stadium, Kevin Walsh and Galway will play host to Derry at 5pm.

Damien Comer's second-half goal saw the Tribesmen come away from the Athletic Grounds with a gutsy 1-12 to 0-12 win against Armagh while Derry made light work of visitors Wexford.

It finished 1-16 to 0-10 in Owenbeg and Brian McIver and his players will travel west in a confidentframe of mind.

Sky Sports' football analysts Peter Canavan and Senan Connell will run the rule over both contests in the company of presenters Rachel Wyse and Brian Carney.

Sky Sports News will show highlights as well as news, interviews and results on their 24-hour news channel, while skysports.com/GAA will have match reports, fixtures and interviews as well as news, blogs, videos and galleries.

Sky Sports customers can watch live on TV, or on mobile or tablet devices with Sky Go.

Tune in to Sky Sports 5 HD at 2.30pm for all the team news and build-up to the first game, which has a throw-in time of 3pm.
