The absolute highlight for our region is undoubtedly Sunday afternoon. If you aren’t making the trip down the M1 to Croke Park, you can catch the huge Louth versus Monaghan All-Ireland quarter-final live on TV via RTÉ 2, with throw-in scheduled for 1:45 PM. Let’s hope the lads can do the county proud!

Friday night offers plenty for domestic football fans, with both Dundalk and Drogheda United in League of Ireland action over on LOITV. For international flavor, the Fifa World Cup group stages are continuing across RTÉ and ITV throughout the weekend. Whether you are tuning into the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday afternoon or catching the Curragh racing, your TV schedule is completely sorted.
