It’s going to be some weekend.
If you aren’t going to Electric Picnic next weekend and you don’t have any plans, we suggest a weekend sitting in watching telly because there’s a feast of sport ahead.
Friday, September 4
Football – Gibraltar versus Ireland
The first of two must-win Euro 2016 qualifiers, we should beat the minnows easily. Kick off is at 7:45 (local time).
Saturday, September 5
Rugby – England versus Ireland
The two rivals face each other at Twickenham in their final World Cup warm-up game.
It’s Joe Schmidt’s last chance to test his troops before the tournament. That kicks off at 2:30pm.
GAA – Mayo versus Dublin
The two sides drew in today’s All-Ireland football semi final. The winners play Kerry.
The game is on at Croke Park and will more than likely throw in at 5pm.
Sunday, September 6
Hurling – Kilkenny versus Galway
The All-Ireland hurling final is the big one on Sunday, it throws in at 3:30pm at Croke Park. It has the potential to be a classic.
Monday, September 7
Football – Ireland versus Georgia
A crucial Euro 2016 qualifier for Martin O’Neill’s men, we have to win or we’re goosed. It kicks off at 7:45pm at the Aviva.
That’s the weekend sorted.
