LEADING KERRY AND Galway senior stars will be in action in this weekend’s live GAA club TV coverage.
The TG4 double-bill next Sunday features the Kerry senior club football final between Dingle and Dr Crokes, before the Galway senior football championship meeting of Salthill-Knocknacarra and Naomh Anna Leitir Móir.
The Kerry clash will see the likes Paul and Dylan Geaney, and Barry Dan O’Sullivan in action for Dingle, while Tom O’Sullivan missed their exciting 3-12 to 3-11 semi-final success over Kenmare Shamrocks, due to a hamstring injury.
Dr Crokes can call on Kerry senior duo Gavin White and Tony Brosnan, along with experienced duo Fionn Fitzgerald and Micheál Burns.
The Galway tie is a round two game in Group 1 with both teams having won their opening round games. Naomh Anna Leitir Móir defeated Caherlistrane 2-15 to 0-12, while Salthill-Knocknacarra overcame Mountbellew-Moylough 0-9 to 0-7.
John Maher, Robert Finnerty, Daniel O’Flaherty, Cathal Sweeney, and Tomo Culhane were the Salthill-Knocknacarra contingent on the Galway squad for the recent All-Ireland final against Armagh.

The goal should have been disallowed and Galway should have had a few frees given to them but those are the calls on the day, well done to Cork, great game of hurling but poor Galway three all ireland losses in three weeks
@Henry Madden: I think the goal was ok but only because it bounced before going into the goal. If you were anywhere else on the pitch threw the ball up to strike it and were hooked, it’s not a foul of the ball. In this case she threw it up to strike it, was either hooked or pushed off it, the ball bounced before the line and rolled over, just a bounce of the ball in it in the end.
@Henry Madden: she was fouled while throwing the ball up to strike it. She didn’t throw the ball into the net on purpose. She was prevented from striking it. So should the team who were fouled be punished by giving the opposition a 2nd chance via a penalty, or should the score stand and be awarded to the team attempting to play by the rules in this play?
Between the LGFA and the Camogie why will they just not do what is required to make the game better and fairer, get rid of the stupid charging rules.
@Ronan O’Sullivan: disagree. Camoige/hurling is not rugby. The balance, footwork, coordination above brute force any day. The GAA tackle gives no legal way to stop charging. Unless you can pull down the ball carrier barging is illegal.
