Austin Stacks take on East Kerry in a double-header in Austin Stack Park on Saturday week (30th 0ct.) In the opening round of the Co. Championship. The game, which will be live on RTE 2, throws-in at 7pm, with the opening game between St. Kierans and Kerins O'Rahillys commencing at 5pm.

Think this has been changed (slightly?), Tyrone semi on.

Bad move from Mayo to let Peter Naughton go.

I agree. But if he was from Westport, Ballintubber or Breaffy he would be on the panel at least.

Short piece on RTÉ there about the competitions, Justin McNulty was interviewed. RTÉ contend that a 1985 law in the 5 counties stops them having competitions without a significant element of skill. McNulty pointed out that this did not stop them from 1985 to 2018 and that the Dept in the North had said that they did not control a competition run elsewhere and it was RTÉ's business.
The interviewer, Philip Boucher-Hayes, pointed out that the competitions were basically a money making racket, where you pay to enter, but this makes it all the more reason for RTÉ to not stop people entering!

Surely that's nonsense. Utv do those kind of things all the time.

Not enough people in Fermanagh, it is to become a nature reserve.

For fans unable to access the BBC iPlayer or website, the games will also be available on GAAGO on the island of Ireland and internationally

I logged into my GAAGo account and there is no sign of the Derry v Down game there at the moment.

The 3 league games on TG4 and the game on RTE this weekend are all up there with "unavailable in ROI and NI" tags on them.

Might show up closer to throw-in.

In the past they have streamed some games on the website without formally using iPlayer. The iPlayer will work anywhere in the UK I imagine, but Monaghan folk will not be able to watch it (which they could if it was broadcast).

Edit: it appears that these games will be on both iPlayer and the website.

[tippabu]

I believe there is no streaming of league games this year, massive shame if true, it was the one big positive of the pandemic.

[clubman21]

BBC have one game per weekend on i player, only involving the 6 teams of course.
