Damien Duff’s Shelbourne will travel to face Derry City knowing a win will guarantee them the title live on RTÉ2 while Shamrock Rovers could also be a win away from a record fifth title-in-a-row against Waterford live on the RTÉ News Channel if Shels drop points.

Love how they show an interest when it suits them
@cork appliances-The Irish Dude: Hopefully they’ll discover next season that that Irish teams play in Europe too. There’s probably more AFLW than LOI coverage on Irish TV.
@cork appliances-The Irish Dude: the sad reality is that very few people actually watch these games unless it’s a ‘big game’. Even in Europe it attracts pretty low numbers. Leinster v Munster in the hundreds of thousands in rugby. The football club games would be in the tens of thousands. It’s night and day. It’s not RTE’s fault. The LOI has come on leaps and bounds but it needs much better marketing and far better schedule execution when it comes to when games are played. There’s so much potential in it as a product but that has to be heavily tapped into by the right people. Just showing some random games on RTE won’t do much but it’s a good start.. RTE should really have a dedicated sports channel.
C’mon Shels
That’s good. Best of luck to all!
