We've long been singing the praises of TG4's coverage of Gaelic Games and this weekend is a perfect example as to why we do it. Over the course of Saturday and Sunday they will broadcast ten Gaelic Games matches across television and online.
A manic weekend will begin with final round of the TG4 All-Ireland Senior Ladies Football Championship, where Ulster champions Donegal will need a four point win over Mayo to guarantee a quarter-final place after the Ulster champions were stunned by Tyrone last weekend. That match will be broadcast live on TV at 1.30pm, while Armagh v Cork will be streamed live on TG4's YouTube page at 3.15pm.
The Electric Ireland All-Ireland Minor Football Championship quarter-finals will be streamed throughout the weekend on YouTube, while the hurling semi-finals will be both be on television, with Limerick taking on Kilkenny at 4pm on Saturday and Wexford v Galway at 1.30pm on Sunday.
As if that wasn't enough, TG4 will also broadcast the EirGrid All-Ireland U20 Football Championship semi-finals. Galway v Dublin will be streamed live on YouTube at 5pm and have deferred coverage on TV at 7pm, while Cork v Tyrone will be broadcast on the TG4 website at 4pm on Sunday.
