GAA on TV This Week: February 26th- March 3rd
The GAA TV schedule is jam packed with games this weekend, including a blockbuster tie between Derry and Dublin, the two best teams in the league so far.
Mickey Harte’s Derry are destroying everyone and everything in their wake, but Dublin have ramped up the intensity and quality massively in the last couple of weeks, no thanks to the incredible form of Con O’Callaghan.
The bombing full forward kicked an incredible hat trick against Kerry last weekend, and will no doubt give the Derry defence their toughest test yet, but that defence has been pretty imperious themselves, so it is an intriguing match up from the start.
We then have an all Connacht affair on Saturday night that sees Mayo and Roscommon battle it out as the Rossies attempt to avoid relegation down to Division Two.
Sunday keeps the good vibes flowing as Tyrone travel down to their old rivals Kerry in a game that will really tell us where the Red Hand county is at, and whether or not Jack O’Connor’s men can recover from their defeat last week.
We then have a relegation battle between Monaghan and Galway as both sides will be trying to avoid the drop this year.
