New York manager Ian Galvin believes the Exiles' Connacht SFC clash with Mayo should be shown live on TV.

The defending provincial champions take on New York at Gaelic Park on Sunday, May 4th and - with broadcasting rights and television packages on everyone's lips these days - Galvin has put forward a strong case for beaming the historic match from the Big Apple:

"I would love to see the game go live, this year especially because it is the 100-year anniversary of the New York board and because Mayo are in town," the Kerry man says in The Examiner.

"Have we ever seen a live game on a Sunday night at 8pm? I think it would be great. It's something I'd love to see.

"I'm not too sure, contractually, who owns the rights to that but in the few weeks that are left, I think it would be great to get it shown live.

"Wouldn't it be great for the people in Laois to see Brendan Quigley playing, for the Mayo people at home obviously to see their team.

"And we would love the people of Ireland to see what we are trying to do out here. I think it would be a win-win situation across the board."
