Echoing to the sound of leather on ash, the crash, bang, wallop of a full-blooded tackle and the roar of the crowds, nothing sounds quite like the GAA Championships on RT . It's a year like no other, with championship action beginning this Sunday, April 17. It all kicks off this Easter Weekend and for the first time, the All-Ireland Senior Hurling and Football Finals will take place in July. This year, RT Sport will, once again, bring the sights and sounds of a championship season to fans across the country with extensive free-to-air coverage from the early beginning of the championship season this weekend right up the finals.
