One to watch: The Division 1 National Hurling League between Kilkenny and Tipperary on Sunday should be one not to miss.

One to Sky+: Given that it’ll clash with the hurling, it’s probably worth recording the Manchester United v Chelsea gam, given that it’s vital for the latter’s Champions League prospects. The small matter of the World Championship final in snooker may be worth keeping an eye on.

One to skip: We enjoy a bit of cricket now and then, but Kolkata Knight Riders v Rajasthan Royals doesn’t seem like the most attractive fixture ever.
