Even if tg4 wanted to show it your Board could've said no.

They televised sars Vs castlegar this year. I'm sure they would've televised Loughrea Vs Thomas' 100% IF it was fixed for Sunday. Which it should've been.

That's not what I asked. The last final I seen TG4 televise was the Jonny Maher final of 2012.

They may have shown one in following years cant remember but haven't had coverage of final since 2020 even when in athenry. With that in mind what logic makes you think it would have been shown Sunday over na piarsaigh v ballygunner

I think you're right. 2012 might have been the last one live on TG4. Loughrea lost 6 finals in 11 seasons 2003-2013, and it would have been 7 only for the refereeing shenanigans of 2006. No wonder Johnny Maher was losing the rag by 2012.

No Galway final was televised last year and both were played on a Sunday, each streaming is the equivalent of a spectator in revenue so what do you think the board would do? This years final is difficult to call as both teams know how to win finals from their own recent experiences.
