Cavan-Donegal TV info, throw-in time and more for All-Ireland football clash

Cavan and Donegal face off as part of a bumper weekend in the All-Ireland Football Championship round robin.

It's been a while since these teams last met, with the 2022 Ulster semi-final being the last time they clashed.
Donegal won by six that day, with goals from Paddy McBrearty and Conor O'Donnell proving decisive.
Cavan are fresh off a massive win against an admittedly abject Mayo side, winning by three points when it could have and maybe should have been more.

Breffni Park in Cavan.
The game is due to begin at 2pm.

Kerry hit the goal trail against Mayo to capture All-Ireland U16 A title

All-Ireland U16 A Championship final: Kerry 4-17 Mayo 0-5 An unanswered scoring burst of 1-4 in the last five minutes of the first half created the perfect platform for Kerry to deservedly overcome Mayo in comprehensive style in the All-Ireland ladies football U-16 A football championship final at McDonagh Park in Nenagh. Playing an entertaining fast and direct style, the Kingdom youngsters got off off to an absolutely dream start, winning the throw-in and putting a fine move together that resulted in full-forward Lily Riordan supplying a cool finish to the Mayo net after only 25 seconds. Despite that hammer blow, the Connacht champions settled into the contest and, with wind assistance in the opening 30 minutes, they supplied three of the next four points – Katie Hughes, Emily Duffy and Aoibhinn McNamara all on the mark. Read More Kieran Donaghy steps away from position as Armagh selector and forwards coach Kerry kept their noses in front, through the reliable free-taking of Jessie Lynch and an inspirational point from captain Leah Griffin. However, when accurate full-forward Hughes fired over in the 23rd minute, Mayo were within three of their opponents at 1-4 to 0-4. Kick-started by a Julie O'Connor white flag, Kerry won the resultant Mayo kick-out and Kelsey Cummins found the net from the ensuing attack, despite the best efforts of Mayo netminder Meabh Lavin to keep the ball out. That was a real kick in the teeth for Francis Regan's charges, who then found themselves ten points adrift at the half-time break — 2-8 to 0-4 — as the Kingdom used their foot-passing skills to good effect with Riordan, Lynch (free) and Cummins all adding late first half points. Realistically, there was no way back on the resumption, when facing into the elements. Indeed, they were restricted to just a single point in the entire second half, and they also had a late, late penalty kick by top scorer Hughes brilliantly saved by Kerry 'keeper Caoimhe O'Mahony. For a superb Kingdom outfit, in a sublime display masterminded by Tom O'Connor, a fifth title, and first since 2016, was sealed by two more green flags. Skipper Griffin rocketed home a majestic individual effort in the 41st minute, and Julie O'Connor supplied the coup de gras six minutes later. Scorers for Kerry: J Lynch (0-7, 6fs), L Griffin, J O'Connor (1-2 each), L Riordan, K Cummins (1-1 each), S Flynn, S O'Halloran, T O'Sullivan, D O'Neill (0-1 each). Scorers for Mayo: K Hughes (0-3, 1f), E Duffy, A McNamara (0-1 each). KERRY: C O'Mahony; N O'Connor, A Brosnan, S Lyons; A Doyle, E Dillane, S Flynn; L Griffin, E O'Sullivan; J Lynch, J O'Connor, I Wynton; N Murphy, L Riordan, K Cummins. Subs: S O'Halloran for Murphy (48), T O'Sullivan for Wynton (49), M O'Reilly for Flynn, inj (55), D O'Neill for Cummins (58), S Kennedy for Doyle (60+5).

Shelbourne survive dramatic All-Island derby to set up Champions League clash with Qarabağ

UEFA Champions League First qualifying round, second leg Linfield 1 (Shields (pen) 45+3) Shelbourne 1 (Coote '25) Shelbourne win 2-1 on aggregate Linfield arranged fake fireballs to build the pre-match atmosphere but this All-Island derby produced natural sparks that created a sizzler. Shelbourne were worthy of their win over two legs – setting up a Champions League second round clash against Azerbaijani champions Qarabağ at Tolka Park next week – but there was drama galore delivered at Windsor Park. Ali Coote adding to the first leg advantage looked ominous for the Belfast crew but they pulled one back, survived a disallowed concession and had a man sent off. Still, they only lost by a single-goal margin. Shels won't care about the manner of their progress, just that it's achieved. Regardless of how they fare in Uefa's supreme competition, a playoff into the Conference League phase is pocketed for later in the year. Both teams made one change apiece, former Dundalk midfielder Chris Shields returning from suspension for the hosts while Tyreke Wilson got the nod over Liverpool loanee James Norris. David Healy had preached the virtue of patience in their game-plan but within 13 minutes Linfield had spurned two golden opportunities. Evan Caffrey of Shelbourne after his side's victory in the UEFA Champions League First Qualifying Round second leg. Pic: Stephen McCarthy/Sportsfile Straight from kick-off, a free-kick was won which was whipped in by Kirk Millar. Ethan McGee ghosted in around the back to loop the ball across goal, just a whisker too early for Ben Hall to connect a yard out. While that was manufactured, the second opening was a present. There was no pressure on Conor Kearns when he joined the kickaround at the back but stubbing his boot into the turf allowed the ball trickle straight to Matt Fitzpatrick. All the former Antrim GAA star had to do was steer the loose ball into the empty net from 25 yards but his misjudged chip strayed past the post. Far from being an early siege, yet the visitors seemed addled. For instance, Mark Coyle clearing the ball needlessly out of play was uncharacteristic and the captain lasted only 22 minutes due to a knee complaint. Shels had given their vocal sold-out allocation of 1300 fans little to cheer about by then but the man of champions manifested in a tie-changing move two minutes later. A dash to the endline by left wingback Tyreke Wilson resulted in a cross that found its way to Harry Wood. Tricky as Wood he is, two Linfield defenders folded too easily when he feigned to shoot and the low effort beat Chris Johns but not Shields on the line. When the home side failed to clear the looping ball, Coote took one touch just inside the box to steady himself before burying a right-footer into the bottom corner. Wilson ought to have expanded the aggregate lead to three a minute later, only to blaze over after being left unmarked. It all the hallmarks of a routine win for the League of Ireland title holders at that stage but a chaotic final 15 minutes of the half, added to by 10 in stoppage time, offered hope to Linfield. First up in their favour was Shels losing another bedrock in Kearns. The early blunder hurt in body as well as mind, triggering a hamstring twinge as he kicked the ball out. He was replaced by Lorcan Healy, the deputy who'd made three appearances in May, and the clear tactic from his namesake was to bombard him with deep crosses. One of those on the stroke of the break was aimed for Ben Hall but the defender's aerial clash with Wilson led to the ball touching the latter's hand. Up stepped Shields to send Healy the wrong way to level proceedings on the night but there would be further drama before the dressing-room visits. Wilson's immediate surge into attack accrued a corner, from which Shels executed a rehearsed set-piece. That three-man move culminated with Kerr McInroy sweeping the ball into the corner but the celebrations were halted by a VAR check. English Premier League referee Andy Madley was alerted to a tug on Euan East at the back post by Paddy Barrett and adjudged it so to keep the tie in the balance. Linfield had hope and might have had an equaliser within 13 seconds of the restart arising from another howler. Healy was the culprit on this occasion with a wayward pass but redeemed himself by sticking out a foot to deny Callumn Morrison's scuffed shot. That hope subsided on 63 when Hall saw red for clipping Mipo Odubeko as he raced clear. The defender was marooned as last man after a misplaced pass by teammate Matthew Orr presented the Shels striker with a snip to intercept. Odubeko could have padded the cushion at the death when set free on the left but the save by Johns was academic as the Reds went marching on. LINFIELD: C Johns; E McGee (K Offord 77), E East, M Orr, B Hall; K Miller (C Allen 83), C Shields, J Mulgrew (D McCullough 77), J Archer; C Morrison (C McKee 69), M Fitzpatrick. SHELBOURNE: C Kearns (L Healy 31); E Caffrey, M Coyle (S Gannon 22), P Barrett, K Ledwidge, T Wilson (J Norris 83); K McInroy, JJ Lunney; A Coote (S Boyd 83), M Odubeko, H Wood.

Mark Landers: 'If we're in trouble Sunday we're looking to Conor Lehane - we know he will do it'

The Dalo Hurling Show pitched up for an All-Ireland final preview at Sarsfields Hurling Club Wednesday night, where they trust and believe their beloved Pat Ryan will be returning with Liam MacCarthy on Monday. For Anthony's regular guest TJ Ryan, the saving grace in this new-look yet traditional final is that 'one of them is going to lose'. That renowned traffic controller of attacking patterns Eamon O'Shea made his way from Galway to discuss the 'flight paths' to goal both teams will take Sunday. Though amid all the debate about inside forwards, Eamon expects 'a real ding dong challenge with less goals than people expect'. Eamon is thrilled about the resurgence in Tipp goalpoacher John McGrath, and how he has defied those who said his 'legs were gone'. 'I saw him working through injury, working through form, he didn't give up, he kept believing. 'That's a real strong sense of a person. Just someone that is an example for all hurlers. 'People telling you this and that. But he stayed calm. He is the epitome of calmness. And I'm thrilled for him.' Mark Landers echoed those sentiments about Cork veteran Conor Lehane, again set to play a huge part from the Cork bench. 'He hung in there. He's a vital cog. Great credit for what Conor has done to stay in the game. He's made himself really relevant to this panel. 'If we are in trouble Sunday, we're looking to Conor and we know he will do it.' O'Shea agreed: 'You couldn't not love hurling watching Conor Lehane.' Will Seamie Harnedy be among those subs too if he is passed fit. Landers thinks so. 'Maybe Pat might think we'd be better have our strongest 15 finishing.' The 1999 captain fancies Rob Downey will be making the winning speech this Sunday. 'Tipp are our greatest rivals there is no doubt But Cork have a maturity about them, they look able to carry the favourites' tag. 'I think there is still an upside in the team. They are still improving. 'And I feel they have an extra gear in them. And there is no way they will underestimate Tipp.' TJ says it's a mad game and mad things happen but he fancies Cork. Dalo thinks Cork will find a way. The rational side of Professor O'Shea was almost swayed. 'I understand why people will go for Cork but I have an emotional part of my brain and I find it hard to consider anything but a Tipperary win.' Whoever wins, at whoever's club the celebrations begin in earnest, Eamon knows these weekends are to be treasured 'This is not just a match. These are lifetime experiences for our people and our communities. This is something that goes deep. This actually matters in some way we can trace back. There is something different about this All-Ireland hurling experience.' Irish Examiner subscribers can watch or listen to Dalo's All-Ireland Final preview now from Thursday lunchtime on
