Galway’s defeat of New York on Sunday marked the start of this season’s All-Ireland Championships and for a second season, Sky Sports will be seeking to muscle in on RTE’s dominance of the TV coverage.

The broadcaster endured some teething problems in their first season last year and this year didn’t get off to the best start either.
