havent conceded a goal in 4 games apparently, Sky Sports have done their homework.
Realistically they could win today too, then they might even get their own 1/2 hour slot

Well done to goalkeeper, Tipperary man, Evan Byrne, formerly of J. K. Brackens (Templemore) for that nice run of clean sheets.

Some great action from the game this morning on SS News. The presenter seemed amazed by it. What would they have made of last weeks Munster Football Final or todays Munster Hurling Final if they can get excited by London & Waterford !!

does anyone know why sky dont cover games?

should the gaa not be checking this out? or has the state nailed it as a programme of national interest etc?

it would no doubt increase participation in the uk and abroad

has anyone youtube clip of the sky action

Sky don't show any because premier sports are the GAA's broadcasting partner in the UK.

Yeah, they done a preview Saturady and then a few highlights Sunday. Described the physicality as slap and tickle! This was a tongue in cheek comment though.
