Tipperary hurling semi-final to feature in prime time slot on RTÉ 2 this coming weekend
Loughmore Castleiney and Holycross Ballycahill will feature on RTÉ 2 this Saturday
Tipperary club hurling takes centre stage on national television next weekend, with RTÉ set to broadcast the county senior hurling semi-final between Loughmore Castleiney and Holycross Ballycahill live on Saturday afternoon.
The game throws in at 4:10pm on RTÉ2, bringing the drama of the Tipperary championship to a national audience as the two Mid clubs battle it out for a place in the county final.
Loughmore Castleiney, renowned for their dual exploits and never-say-die attitude, will look to draw on their experience of big occasions. Holycross Ballycahill, meanwhile, have been one of the stories of the season, a side on the rise and eager to take another scalp as they continue their push for a first county title since 1990.
The match is part of a busy weekend of live GAA coverage, with the Antrim senior football final (Dunloy v Cargin) and the Donegal senior football final (Gaoth Dobhair v Naomh Conaill) both airing on TG4 on Sunday.
But all eyes in Tipperary will be on Semple Stadium on Saturday, where two local rivals go head-to-head in front of the cameras and with a county final place on the line.
