Sky Sports to broadcast glamour hurling qualifier between Tipperary and Galway/Kilkenny

But there will be no televised coverage of next Saturday’s Leinster semi-final replay between the Cats and the Tribesmen.

SKY SPORTS WILL broadcast the glamour All-Ireland hurling qualifier meeting between Tipperary and Kilkenny or Galway on Saturday July 5th.

But there will be no televised coverage of next Saturday’s Leinster SHC semi-final replay between Kilkenny and Galway as the broadcaster had already planned to cover the Ulster football semi-final tie between Armagh and Monaghan.

It is understood that it is highly unlikely that RTÉ will produce a web-only broadcast of the Kilkenny-Galway Leinster semi-final replay.

RTÉ are set to produce live televised coverage of the All-Ireland senior hurling round 1 qualifier between Clare against Wexford in Ennis on July 5th while they will televise next Sunday’s Leinster football semi-final double-header from Croke Park.

The full details for the fixtures after this morning’s draw in round 1 of the hurling qualifiers are:

Saturday June 28th
Waterford v Laois, Walsh Park, 7pmSunday June 29th
Antrim v Offaly, Ballycastle, 2pm

Saturday July 5th
Clare v Wexford, Cusack Park, Ennis, 3.30pm – (Live: RTÉ)
Tipperary v Galway/Kilkenny, Semple Stadium, 7pm – (Live: Sky Sports)

And the fixture details for this weekend’s Round 1B football qualifier action are:

Saturday June 28th
Carlow v Waterford, Dr Cullen Park, 2pm
Tyrone v Louth, Healy Park, Omagh, 2.30pm
Cavan v Westmeath, Kingspan Breffni Park, 3pmSunday June 29th
Down v Leitrim, Páirc Esler, Newry, 2pm

    Would be scandalous if RTE don’t televise the Galway/Kilkenny replay. A match between Laois and Fermanagh was broadcast on Saturday … FFS !!!!

    FFS. I can’t believe this. I couldn’t get tickets to Tipp v Kilk as it was sold out last yr and now it’s looking like I won’t be able to see it on telly this yr either. What a joke. I knew something like this would happen. A season ending game for one of the top 2/3 is going to be on Murdoch’s Sky.. thank you official GAA FOR SELLING EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS TO A PAY PER VIEW COMMERCIAL CHANNEL.. well pissed off.. please leave the game I love alone ye overweight leaching bureaucratic suits

    The coverage of the hurling this year has been a scandal, there are only so many top class encounters, it’s a pity to waste them. Seriously people were giving out about sky having games but RTE can’t even screen what it has. Already missed one top class hurling replay this summer due to scheduling, now another gone… GAA should just run a dedicated channel themselves…

    i wouldn’t really blame rte for this as i believe their hands are tied (as under the terms of the new gaa contract there is a set limit on the amount of ‘live’ games to be shown) think the gaa are trying to get more people to attend matches

    If you know anyone with sky you can ask them for their username or password, a family member would be better. Then you can put it in on sky go website and you have every channel. Just need a hdmi cable and you can get it on tv.

    Sorry for such a late comment but you know better later then never. 1. Get the sky go website on your computer 2. Sign in with an account 3. Connect your computer up to your tv with a hdmi cable 4. Tune into the right channel using the source button. After that just click on what you want and enjoy your free sky :) quality is bad for the first 15/20 seconds then it focuses are it’s fine.

    http://www.gaa.ie/content/documents/Annual_Congress_Final_Report2.pdf

    Page 110 onwards will answer any and all questions you have about where the GAA’s money goes. The GAA took in nearly €55m last year and only kept €114,000 of it – the rest went on running the competitions, covering team costs, player welfare, organisational costs and grants to clubs and counties.

    To say that the €80 (not €85… and Hill 16 is €40) you pay for an All-Ireland ticket doesn’t go to the local clubs or the lads on the pitch is a serious misrepresentation.

    Alan – to be fair, money is finite. Just because some clubs are turned down for grants, it doesn’t mean everyone is. Same goes for county boards – pretty much every county has built/is building a ‘centre of excellence’, but the GAA can hardly manufacture the money to pay for it.

    The GAA’s in a Catch-22 situation anyway – if it wants more revenue to pay for grants and the like, it has to either add it to the cost of the match ticket, get the money from a sponsorship or TV deal (which means either a higher licence fee, more ad breaks, or a higher Sky subscription) or sell more merchandise. None of that’s going to be popular, but if it’s the only way to put a hurl into the hands of a kid in Sligo or Longford, what else are they to do?

    respect what you say gavan entirely . certainly agree with the hurling scenario. imagine a 32 county all ireland championship that was seriously competitive in each province . we wont see that in our life time but here is hoping. you argue a good case and i had never before seen those facts

    No bother – totally agree with you about a 32-county hurling championship. The Ring/Rackard/Meagher competitions are great in terms of competitiveness, but at the same time it always annoys me that there are only 15 counties that are even eligible to win the All-Ireland, let alone being good enough for it.

    For what it’s worth, page 126 of the document above shows where the GAA distributed its grants in 2013. Over €41 million of it! I’d love to see FIFA being so transparent…

    The quality matches being thrown up in the Hurling championship the last season and a half are nothing short of spectacular, Imagine throwing in another even four or five competitive counties into the mix. Westmeath , Laois Carlow and antrim and even Kerry are all counties with great hurling strongholds in them. if in twenty years time you could get these counties to a another level where they could compete againt the corks the kilkennys and clares. what a scenario we would have ..

    Should give Saturday night to Sky… Great advertisement for the game…

    Personally I didn’t want the sale to Sky. I believe the Irish government should have bought all GAA International rights and given it to any channel (terrestrial before cable) that wanted to show it as long as they:
    Looked after the uplink costs (fairly cheap)
    They take our promotion of the games (includes a lot of scenic Ireland)

    We should make the broadcast be a big promotion for Ireland worldwide… Everything from our culture, tourism, industry for more than 3 hours a week worldwide… Cheap for the price…

    Imagine Saturday nights game shown all over China, Japan or America… Get it to as many people as possible… Hurling is our Eiffel Tower, lets sell it…

    If you look at the Tour de France every year it is one long advertisement of France as a country, why not us?
