NINE GAA GAMES are live on TV this week as part of a hectic week of action.
On Saturday the inter-county action commences with the football league tie involving Tyrone against Mayo, a repeat of last year’s All-Ireland decider, and the hurling league clash of Down against Kerry.
There’s also a ladies football league semi-final double-header with Dublin taking on Donegal and Meath facing Mayo.
