Rowing
Known simply as The Boat Race, the annual contest between the best rowers from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge takes place at the weekend. Thousands of spectators will line the sides of the River Thames in London for the 80th women’s race and 171st men’s race. Note the new broadcaster, with BBC losing the tv rights. – Saturday, Channel 4
Soccer
The usual suspects are in the FA Cup quarter-finals at the weekend - Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, etc. And Port Vale. Rooted to the bottom of League One, the Stoke-on-Trent based outfit are likely to be playing in the fourth tier of English football next season – but before that doom and gloom, their fans get to dream of a giant killing at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea. - Saturday, BBC 1 & TNT Sports
Hurling
Reigning league champions Cork come to a packed Gaelic Grounds on Sunday to meet 2023 league winners Limerick in this season’s decider. Both sides will be eager to lay down a marker ahead of the Munster championship which starts later in the month. - Sunday, TG4
