FOUR GAA GAMES will be covered live on TV next weekend with inter-county pre-season finals and All-Ireland club hurling semi-finals in the spotlight.
All four matches are live on TG4 with the Leinster and Ulster deciders the focus on Saturday in the O’Byrne Cup and Dr McKenna Cup.
Dessie Farrell’s Dublin team are already through to the O’Byrne Cup decider, where they will go up against the winners of Wednesday night’s game between Kildare and Laois.
The Dr McKenna Cup final will follow the Leinster showdown, the semi-finals taking place in Ulster tomorrow night.
On Sunday afternoon the attention will switch to the All-Ireland senior club hurling semi-finals.
