The All-Ireland women’s senior club football final between Galway’s Kilkerrin-Clonberne Antrim’s St Ergnat’s at Croke Park on Saturday will not be shown live on TG4 due to a clash with the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.
The game will instead be broadcast on the TG4 Player and TG4’s YouTube channel, and deferred coverage will be shown on television at 8.10pm.
The Ladies Gaelic Football Association (LGFA) and TG4 tried to find a solution to ensure the game could be televised live but were unable to make their respective schedules compatible.
The LGFA stated: “We had discussions and the throw-in times for Saturday’s games were agreed in conjunction with TG4.”
