TG4 has another crop of cracking GAA classics in store for us in May

The broadcaster has been digging through the archive to give us some comforting nostalgia to enjoy on Sunday afternoons.

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.

    Keatley was never consistent with Munster. However having travelled to most European away games , Keatley was one of the most nicest, genuine guys you could meet. Had the pleasure to be sitting next to his family at one of the games and that quality extends to them also. Wishing him all the best

    Awe man. Tv without rugby, gaa, soccer, mma, etc is pretty insipid. It’s like spaghetti bolognase without the garlic, Herbs, salt and pepper and vino. There is only so much Maura and Daithi you can handle and as for the 24 hour anxiety news well that can F off too. My wife and daughter are however delighted sport is off the TV.

    When Keats was jeered off at Thomond Park that time, it was one of the lowest moments in Irish sport. As a great servant to Munster and Irish rugby he shouldn’t have been subject to such ridicule.

    Best wishes to him in the future.
