Get the diary out and start reserving the couch and the TV now GAA fans.
We’re barely a wet week into 2014 and already the National Leagues are creeping up on us, with the National Football Leagues set to click into gear the weekend after next, with the National Hurling Leagues set to follow suit a fortnight later.
You can’t beat being there, of course, but if you don’t feel like hopping into the car for a trip to some of the more far-flung destinations, TG4 have a fairly extensive schedule throughout the National League with live and deferred coverage of games from both codes up to and including the divisional finals.
GAA BEO’s live coverage kicks off with the O’Byrne Cup Final between Meath and Kildare in Newbridge this coming Sunday and also includes coverage of the club and under-21 championships and Sigerson and Fitzgibbon Cups in a bumper season of GAA action that will bring us right up to the Championship in May.
Have a look at the schedule below to check how often your own country features on GAA Beo over the coming weeks and months.
