Up for the Match reveals Saturday night guests
Fans have been promised fun, passion, "and a bit of Riverdance" as hosts Des Cahill and Jacqui Hurley count down to the game on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player on Saturday at 9:35pm.
"Viewers are in for a real treat as the world-famous Riverdance takes to the stage to open the show with a spectacular performance sure to get feet tapping across the country," said the Up for the Match team.
"Live from Loughmore-Castleiney in Tipperary, Marty Morrissey meets the family, friends, and clubmates of the iconic McGrath brothers as they prepare for Sunday's showdown.
Meanwhile, back in Cork, Anna Geary catches up with passionate supporters from Blarney GAA - the home club of stars Mark Coleman, Shane Barrett, and Pádraig Power.
"In studio, a stellar line-up of hurling greats including Seánie McGrath, Lar Corbett, and Brian Corcoran share their insights and memories ahead of what promises to be a historic final.
"It wouldn't be Up for the Match without some familiar faces - 2FM's Carl Mullan, Roz Purcell, and Aisling Bonner, Kerry's own Billy Keane, and Paralympian Ellen Keane join Olympian Nadia Power to share their favourite All-Ireland memories.
"There will be musical performances as well from Irish trad band Ceol and surprise musical moments representing both Cork and Tipp.
Co-presenter Des Cahill said: "I've been presenting Up for the Match for over 20 years now, and it never gets old. It's something I look forward to every single time. The buzz, the craic, the last-minute nerves - it's become a bit of a cultural phenomenon. For GAA fans, it's the only place to be. It's like Christmas Eve mass, the night before the big event... but with more banter and a lot more jerseys!"
Co-presenter Jacqui Hurley said: "I've been counting down the days to Up for the Match. It always feels extra special when your own county is involved, and there's a lot of emotion tied into Cork's story this year. A first-ever All-Ireland final between Cork and Tipp? That's something really special - and I've no doubt both sets of fans will bring the craic on Saturday night."
Up for the Match airs Saturday 19 July at 9:35pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.

Unexpected swerve as Cork man wins Cavan's All-Ireland Final tickets draw
Jonathan Browne 18/07/2025 This Sunday's All-Ireland hurling final between Cork and Tipperary has been the hottest ticket in Ireland this week. For Cork it's a chance to redeem themselves after heartbreakingly losing the final last year to fellow Munster rivals Clare while for Tipperary it's their first final since 2019. It's the first time the two Munster counties have faced off in the final and getting tickets for the occasion have been as rare as hen's teeth. As we know getting tickets for the All-Ireland Final isn't just as simple as logging onto Ticketmaster and purchasing them. It can be a game of 'who you know?' as its the county boards that distribute the tickets and it's always difficult top attend the showcase event at Croke Park. The GAA Hurling All-Ireland Senior Championship semi-final match between Cork and Dublin at Croke Park. Pic: Stephen McCarthy/Sportsfile That's why many people weren't too impressed when Cavan GAA, who's not involved in the All-Ireland Final this year, shared that they will be doing a draw where the winner gets 10 tickets to the final. Many felt that the draw would end up not going to fans of either Cork or Tipp and 'true fans'. Also giving one fan 10 tickets does leave it prone for touts to enter the draw and win the tickets with the sole reason of selling them off. For the thousands of people across Tipp and Cork who are going to the ends of the earth just to get one, it must be infuriating to see another county giving away ten to one person as a prize. — Paul Dollery (@PaulDollery) July 16, 2025 What does 1 person do with 10 tickets like? What if a tout enters? Would 10 winners of 2 each not make more sense – and they have to be members of a GAA club — Smaller Fish (@SmallerFishGAA) July 17, 2025 However after this backlash Cavan were probably all but delighted to announce that the winner, Seán O'Brien is a Cork fan from Kilbrittain who's followed Cork all year and plans on bringing his family and friends to the final. Big congratulations to our deserving winner of the All Ireland Hurling Final Tickets, Seán O'Brien — a builder from @kilbrittaingaa in West Cork! Wishing him and his family an amazing day at Croke Park this Sunday as they cheer on the Rebels and thanks for entering our draw. — Official Cavan GAA (@CavanCoBoardGaa) July 17, 2025 While this story does have a happy ending, it does highlight the ludicrous nature that tickets for the All-Ireland are sold. These 10 tickets could've gone to anyone and Cork and Tipp fans would've either missed out or been taken advantage of by touts who resell tickets for extreme prices. In this day and age there must be a better way to go about this and hopefully there will be a new system soon. However there's no doubt there will be a sea of red, blue and yellow as both Cork and Tipp fans flock to Dublin to see their counties battle it out.

T5 and Sea Wall double bill review: Two very different responses to trauma pack an emotional punch
T5 and Sea Wall Galway Arts Centre, Nun's Island ★★★★☆ This is a double-bill of plays by the British playwright (with Irish background) Simon Stephens , both short one-act monologues, small intense nuggets. Winner of Tony and Olivier best-play awards for his hit stage adaptation of Mark Haddon's novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Stephens is a prolific and pin-sharp playwright, often chronicling emotional truth and asking difficult questions. Stephens himself has acknowledged that Sea Wall (2008) is a favourite of his, a play also made into a film short starring Andrew Scott. T5 (from 2010) refers to Heathrow airport's Terminal 5. The two short (each about a half-hour long) monologues were previously paired together in 2012, presented as London. They are strong, forthright and beautiful pieces, emotionally powerful choices for Galway's Decadent Theatre Company's festival show. In T5 Sarah Morris's performance is electric. She's wired and on the edge, frozen in position, eyes wide and blazing and maniacal, barely time to breathe. Amid the bustle of the city and the relentless and familiar tyranny of stuff and tasks and things to remember in modern life, 'I must…., I must…, I must…,' she has broken off, stopped, just walked away. READ MORE The audience is within her mind during her journey, a mind crowded and frantic and troubled, occasionally bursting into the comfort of the line of a song. As things evolve, we see this is more than panic at the enormity of managing a life, but a response to trauma – or actually two traumatic situations. Sea Wall starts more softly. Ian Lloyd Anderson is Alex, a young man with a blessed life. With tenderness, humour and emotional openness, he describes his absolute love for his wife Helen, how their eight-year-old daughter is 'my sweetheart and Helen's sidekick' and visiting his mathsy, characterful father-in-law, who lives on the south coast of France. [ Playwright Simon Stephens: 'Our sense of self is defined by the stories we tell ourselves. My family told themselves we were Irish' ] But Alex has a hole inside; not of emptiness, but from pain. He unfolds his story, which becomes one of those moments where everything falls away, the rug pulled out. The beautifully written script is matched by Lloyd Anderson's self-reflective, natural, charming, raw performance. Ciaran Bagnall's set and lighting is low key, evoking a window beyond to the world. Director Andrew Flynn's nuanced direction hits the tone of both, the mania and the gentle pain; the cracking scripts are gifts for him and for both actors. Though written separately, the plays work well together and bounce off each other as very different responses to trauma, singly and together having strength, delicacy and an emotional punch. T5 and Sea Wall run at the Galway Arts Centre until July 26th

Open Championship: Rory McIlroy knows that hanging in just won't cut it over the weekend
Rory McIlroy put his adoring gallery through the wringer again. Hole by hole for the first five, he stepped forward, fell back, stepped forward again, only to fall back before he steadied the ship and heart rates around Royal Portrush to finish the day on three under going into the weekend of the Open Championship . Six consecutive pars between the sixth and 11th holes with birdies on 12 and 14 moved McIlroy forward in that he finished two shots better than when he started, but the field also moved on. American lefty Brian Harman, the 2023 Open champion at Hoylake, added a 65 to his opening 69 to end the second day on eight under, five shots ahead of the Irish Grand Slam winner. It was vintage McIlroy only in glimpses, from his first tee shot, which he tugged left, to his four birdies, the 153rd Open was no place for the faint-hearted fan. READ MORE McIlroy's default expression on what was a dry and warm first 17 holes before the heavens opened was one of mild frustration. The errant drives early on, the tap-in putts for par when he really needed birdies and the way he was stubbornly unable to climb the scoreboard equally frustrated the fans, who were sometimes 20 deep at the choke points around the tees and greens. The nub of it was that at the end of the day McIlroy had hung in while the tournament leaders had moved on. 'I know what I need to do to get the best out of myself in an environment like that,' said McIlroy. 'I've been somewhat close to my best over the first two days in little bits here and there. 'I'm going to need to have it all under control and have it sort of all firing over the weekend to make a run.' Rory McIlroy plays a shot on the 15th hole during his second round at Royal Portrush. Photograph:It had all looked so different when he dropped a putt from 17 feet for birdie on the first hole. McIlroy flexing is what the fans had come to see. The moment of elation and a healthy looking two under on the scoreboard was short-lived as his drive on the par-5 second almost carried the out of bounds line. McIlroy took a penalty drop and still made par on the hole before a bad lie on the par-3 third hole had him standing in the bunker and hitting from the grass with the club gripped well below the handle. A dropped shot there brought him back to one under before a fairway-splitting tee shot on the fourth set him up for birdie and back to two under. McIlroy found more trouble on the fifth when he drove into a bunker and the elevation required to clear the front lip made it too high for the ball to have the energy to move forward. He didn't make the green, his chip and right to left putt skimming the cup. He was back to one under. That was the end of the spluttering game as he turned in 36, having made par on six, seven, eight and nine. More pars were carded on 10 and 11 before a 328 drive hit the fairway and his second made the green at the par-5 12th hole. A brilliant putt from just over 30 feet that tracked all the way seemed destined to drop for eagle. But the groans in the stands told another story and McIlroy left with a birdie four. On 14 he hit a monster 380-yard drive, then holed out from 17 feet for another birdie to get to three under before making par all the way home. Rory McIlroy in the rain on the 18th at the end of his second round. Photograph: Peter Byrne/PA Wire 'Another solid day,' said McIlroy. 'A couple under, improved a little bit on yesterday, hit it in play a little bit more off the tee, which was nice to have some looks out of the fairway and into some of these greens. 'Yeah, it was a good day. I feel like I maybe could be a couple closer to the lead, but overall, in a decent position heading into the weekend.' For the galleries that followed him around to the rain-soaked 18th hole, there were signs of the power within the McIlroy golf beast. A few better positions off the tee to give him better looks at pins from fairway lies and instead of several shaved cups, the balls might have dropped. Either way McIlroy was wistful and positive to be competitive. 'It was 20 years ago that I played the North of Ireland here, and never in my wildest dreams did I think that I'd be coming back as a Grand Slam champion with the support of a nation behind me trying to win an Open Championship,' he said. 'I count myself very grateful and very lucky that I'm in this position, and I'm excited for the weekend.' He won't be alone in that with around 50,000 tramping the Dunluce links on Friday and the same expected on Saturday and Sunday.
