Monaghan vs Mayo set to be broadcast by RTÉ Sport

RTÉ Sport will televise Monaghan v Mayo in the first round of the All-Ireland Football Championship as more fixture details were confirmed today.

Four matches are taking place this weekend to begin competition, with the other quartet of games being played the following week to allow the provincial finalists more recovery time.

That is followed on the same day by newly-crowned Ulster winners Armagh facing Derry at 7.15pm at BOX-IT Athletic Grounds.

Dublin take on Louth on Sunday, 31 May with a 2.30pm throw-in at Croke Park.

All three of those matches are broadcast on GAA+.

The final tie sees the RTÉ cameras return to St Tiernach's Park as the Farney men face Andy Moran's side for a 4pm throw-in.

The Christy Ring final has also been finalised. Kerry and Derry meet in Croke Park on Saturday, 30 May at 3pm, while the Dalata Hotel Group GAA Football All-Ireland Under-20 Championship final between Kerry and Tyrone follows at 5pm.

The Lory Meagher final will be before the Dublin-Louth football clash. Longford and Leitrim clash at 12.30pm on Sunday, 31 May.
