The excitement around the 2024 GAA Championship continues to grow following some fantastic provincial football finals and further hurling round-robin drama. This weekend looks set to continue the trend as it brings an end to the provincial series. Here is our guide to GAA on TV this weekend:
Unbeaten Kilkenny travel to Netwatch Cullen Park to take on Carlow in the first of this week's action. Kilkenny will be hoping to push further ahead at the top of the Leinster table following Galway's slip up last weekend, while bottom of the table Carlow are still in search of their first points of the championship.
Kildare and Longford get the Tailteann cup action underway in Mangaurd Park, as the Lily Whites hope to make up for their disappointing 0-13 to 0-17 Leinster semi final loss to Louth on April 28th.
Cork v Limerick headline Saturday's action with the All Ireland Champions hoping to continue their unbeaten run against a Cork side that have been underwhelming at best. Cork are be facing yet another early championship exit after a shock defeat to Waterford in round one and a narrow defeat to the current Munster champions Clare in their last game. While Limerick stay on track toward a fourth All Ireland in a row, following an efficient dispatch of neighbours Tipperary two weeks ago.
On Sunday Dublin go in search of their 14th Leinster title in a row, having strolled their way into the final beating Offaly 3-22 to 0-11 in the semi final. Louth will be hopping to end their trophy draught, having not won a piece of silver wear since 1957. The winner of this game will play Roscommon in round one of the round robin while the loser will take on last years Tailteann cup winner Meath.
The much anticipated Ulster final sets up a repeat of the 2024 Division 2 League final, as champions Donegal take on Armagh in an epic clash. With Jimmy back winning matches Donegal's confidence is clearly beginning to soar beating Division 1 league champions Derry and Tyrone on their way to the final. Armagh will be hoping to claim their first Ulster title since 2008, with Kieran McGeeny's men search for revenge for their league final heartbreak.
