Don’t touch that dial… here’s the sport on TV this weekend

Leinster’s Amlin Cup final and several other events to look forward to in the coming days.

  • One to watch: The  Amlin Cup final between Stade Francais and Leinster because seeing the Blues winning the Amlin was your boy/girl hood dream.
  • One to Sky+: The Volvo World Match Play from Thursday to Sunday where Graeme McDowell has a great chance of winning it all.
  • One to skip: Why watch the Copa Del Rey final when you could see the big Dublin derby between Shamrock Rovers and Bohemians?
