Only if they reached the 2nd tier though. And if Kerry and Wexford can manage it....

I'd say, considering they'd more than likely be in the northern section, they'd have to travel to Donegal anyway a couple of times a year.

Yes - but not Donegal and Cobh, which was what was stated.

If Wexford and Kerry can make LOI football work havng to travel from the edges of the country to the other end, then I see no reason why Castlebar couldn't also manage to do so covering just half the ciountry and from a less fringe location.

Derry-Drogheda on TV and it's on the Saturday evening.
Perhaps it's an idea to have the TV cup game on a standalone date?

An earlier kick-off would have suited the Drogs fans more, but RTÉ calling the shots, and mightn't have been the biggest audience for a mid-afternoon match.

The Friday is the first night of the Premier League and Liverpool are on TV

Id imagine RTE don't want to be showing a game at the same time.

Could always have gone with Sunday. Now that the GAA & womens Euros are over, there's not much sport for them on Sundays.

I'd have thought Saturday evening was too prime-time for them to show LOI

Unlikely there’d go up against (or anywhere either side of) a Man United vs Arsenal 16:30 kickoff on the sunday

Just checking for this Saturday night, and on RTÉ2 it's a Nuremberg trials documentary and a mediocre film. Summer might be a bit of an off-season for TV.

Rarely get animated on here but am disgusted to see children's classic 'Charlotte's Web' described as mediocre.
'Simon's Webb'....now that was mediocre

He was a damn fine fullback though.
