We'd like to wish TG4 a warm 20th birthday today. Our Irish language broadcaster is also arguably Ireland's best sports broadcaster. Ladies football, Laochra Gael, La Liga, the Tour de France, Wimbledon, the Underdogs - the Irish sportswatching public owes a great debt to TG4. Most importantly, if there was no TG4, the world would not know of Johnny Maher.
This is not the first time we've expressed our love for their sports coverage in the past, we realise but to mark this important landmark, we've assemble our 20 favourite TG4 moments since the creation of Balls.ie. There's thousands more to be honest, these are just the first 20 that came to mind.

These women train as much as men. Heartbreaking to lose a point because there's no funding for Hawkeye. #coygib pic.twitter.com/GtISrkGLm1"
