AS THE FIXTURE list for that conspicuous patch of time in our immediate future remains clear, the annals of the past will continue to be the best source of your sporting fix for quite a while yet.
And for that reason, we are indebted to TG4 for rummaging through the archives of class GAA matches to keep us ticking over with a little taste of what summer Sundays ought to feel like.
Over the past six weeks, the broadcaster has served up classics like the 2004 Munster hurling final, the 2012 All-Ireland football final and this Sunday the magic of the 1994 Ulster SFC first round will be back on our screens.
There’s plenty more to come as TG4 today unveiled their plans for May, with 1968′s All-Ireland hurling final between Tipperary and Wexford, the 1977 football semi-final between Dublin and Kerry and also an U21 hurling Championship clash from 2009 featuring Joe Canning’s Galway against Clare.
No bother staying at home on Sunday afternoons.

I wish you had passed some of that info to James Horan.
@Logan Shepherd: wouldn’t have done him any use. How many times did Horan play Hennelly against the Dubs over the years?
Ah well I think we got our pay back
