Sky Sports Announce 2019 Live GAA Games As Donaghy Takes Pundits Role

Live GAA games will be available to Sky Sports subscribers as early as May 11th this year after the broadcaster confirmed it's schedule for the Summer.

As well as announcing 20 live games would be televised, including both the All-Ireland Hurling and the All-Ireland Football finals in mid-August and early September, they were also able to give news of a new addition to their studio arsenal.

Recently retired Kerry forward and winner of four All-Ireland medals, Kieran Donaghy will join fellow greats Peter Canavan and Senan Connell as the channel's lead football pundits, whilst hurling legends Jamsie O'Connor, JJ Delaney and Ollie Canning will once again deliver their expert analysis on the small ball game.

It will be the hurling that opens the Championship coverage and the Leinster championship clash of Kilkenny and Dublin at Nowlan Park, before cameras will be trained on Kingspan Breffni Park a week later on May 18th for the Ulster football quarterfinal between Monaghan and Cavan.

Donaghy will also be employed by the company as the figurehead to a €3 million grassroots initiative they are launching to help keep youngsters in the games.
