Don't touch that dial... here's the sport on TV this weekend

Why would you want to go out even if it wasn’t lashing down with rain?
  • One to watch: A weekend watching the golf beckons.
  • One to Sky+: If this rain allows, I’ll be fishing on Sunday – but I don’t want to miss the hurling, I must say.
  • One to miss: As one colleague of ours said this week: it’s not a sport, if there’s n ball involved. I’ll give the motor cycling a skip I reckon.
