What time and TV channel is Louth v Offaly on today in the Leinster Minor Final?
The Wee County hadn't won a Leinster Senior Championship since 1957, while they hadn't won a Leinster under-20/21 title since 1981.
Indeed, the Louth 20s have since gone a step futher, defeating Mayo in the All-Ireland semi-final to set up a decider meeting with reigning champions Tyrone.
In the meantime, the Louth minors are more than playing their part as they've battled through to a provincial decider, defeating Dublin by 2-17 to 1-8 at the Naul.
The Louth minors could bridge an even bigger gap than their seniors, with their last Leinster minor title coming all the way back in 1953 - all of 72 years ago.
In fact, this is only their second Leinster minor final since 1971. They lost the 2017 decider to Dublin.
In this year's other Leinster minor semi-final, Offaly were among the goals, as they defeated Kildare by 4-9 to 1-16 at O'Connor Park, Tullamore.
Offaly also hit four goals against Meath in the quarter-final, including a last gasp major to win by three points, while Louth defeated Westmeath by four points in their quarter-final.
The Faithful County are also looking to bridge a long gap. Their last Leinster minor football title came all the way back in 1989. They've lost six finals in a row since then, with the most recent the one point 2020 defeat by Meath.
Something has to give this evening.

When is the GAA football final? Kerry vs Donegal start time, FREE live stream, TV channel for huge All-Ireland final
ALL eyes will be on Croke Park once again NEXT WEEKEND as Kerry face Donegal in a mouthwatering GAA All-Ireland football final. Kerry are the most successful Gaelic football team in the 2 Kerry are hoping to secure a mammoth 39th title Credit: Sportsfile 2 While Donegal look to clinch their first football triumph since 2012 Credit: Sportsfile And the Irish giants are appearing in their third final in four years after beating Tyrone 1-20 to 0-17 in a thrilling semi-final clash. But you could argue that opponents Donegal will be hungrier to win the championship, as their only two title wins were way back in 1992 and 2012. Furthermore, Jim McGuinness' side should have the wind in their sails following a stunning 3-26 to 0-15 semis triumph over Meath. However, Joe Brolly believes Donegal Read more on GAA football When is the GAA All-Ireland football final? The GAA All-Ireland football final between Kerry and Donegal will take place on Saturday, July 27. It is scheduled to get underway at 3:30pm BST / 10:30am ET. Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland is the chosen venue for this iconic match and it can host a whopping 82,300 fans. Armagh won their second title, with a 1–11 to 0–13 win against Galway in the 2024 final. How to watch the GAA All-Ireland football final for FREE The GAA All-Ireland football final will be broadcast LIVE on BBC Two Northern Ireland. Fans can stream the entire action for FREE on BBC iPlayer. Coverage is expected to get underway from 2:15pm BST - one hour and 15 minutes before the throw-in. Fans in the US can watch the match through the GAA+ stream or website. Alternatively, SunSport will have coverage of the entire action through our live blog. Who will be the referee? The GAA has announced that Brendan Cawley will officiate this year's All-Ireland football final between Kerry and Donegal. It'll be the Kildare native's first time refereeing Gaelic football's showpiece occasion. Most read in GAA Football The Sarsfields clubman has been on the inter-county officiating circuit since 2019 and is a widely respected figure across the game. His line umpires on the day will be Monaghan's Martin McNally and David Coldrick of Meath, with McNally also set to serve as the standby referee. What kits will be worn? Kerry are set to wear their alternative blue kit in order to avoid a colour clash in this year's All-Ireland football final. Common sense seemed to be ignored for Donegal's semi-final triumph over Meath when both teams lined out in their traditional colours. It is the referee's call whether a colour clash is significant enough that one or both of the teams is compelled to wear one of their alternative strips. Ultimately, Paul Faloon did not deem that a necessary step to take. And in fairness many viewers expressed that they had little to no issue distinguishing Donegal players from Kerry counterparts. But it was a problem for some portions of the TV as well as Croke Park audience.

DJ Carey booed as he's honoured with ex-teammates ahead of All-Ireland final
DJ Carey's name was jeered as he was honoured along with his former Kilkenny teammates from 2000 by the GAA ahead of Sunday's All-Ireland final at Croke Park despite not being in attendance. The Kilkenny All-Ireland-winning team from 2000 were honoured prior to this year's decider between Cork and Tipperary. As is tradition, the victorious team from 25 years ago returned to GAA Headquarters on the day of the All-Ireland final. Each panel member's name, including Carey's, were read out individually. However, Carey's name was met with jeers and boos from the crowd as it was read out under an hour before throw-in. The Croke Park stadium announcer said of the nine-time All-Star winner: "Full forward DJ Carey from the Young Irelands. He scored 1-4 on the day, claiming his third All-Ireland of five in total and he would end the year with the eighth of his nine All-Star awards. DJ is not with us today." Carey was named the man of the match in the Cats' 2000 final win over Offaly after scoring 1-4 for Kilkenny as they ran out winners by 5-15 to 1-14. The five-time All-Ireland winner recently pleaded guilty to 10 counts of defrauding a number of people out of money while pretending he had cancer. The 10 counts Carey pleaded guilty to involved a total of 13 complainants, including Denis O'Brien, Owen and Ann Conway, Mark and Sharon Kelly, Aidan Mulligan, Tony Griffin and Christy Browne, Thomas Butler, Jeffrey Howes, Noel Tynan and Edwin Carey. Carey made his debut for Kilkenny in 1988 and played up until 2006. He is undoubtedly one of hurling's greatest ever players, having won 10 Leinster Senior Championship medals to go along with his five All-Ireland titles, as well as four league titles and a Player of the Year gong in 2000. He also collected nine All-Star awards during his career, trailing only Henry Shefflin with 11.

Who was Liam MacCarthy and how long has the All-Ireland been named after him?
The biggest day in hurling is here as Cork take on Tipperary in the final of the All-Ireland senior championship. A full 82,300 is expected in Croke Park this afternoon as the two Munster giants battle it out for the Liam MacCarthy Cup. But who exactly is Liam MacCarthy and why is he such a significant figure in the GAA? It's a question that hurling fans have asked themselves on many occasions. Well, wonder no more and take a look below to learn everything that you need to know about Liam MacCarthy. Who is the Liam MacCarthy Cup named after? The cup is named after Liam MacCarthy, a Londoner born to Irish parents in 1853. MacCarthy was one of the founders of London GAA and was chairman of the London County Board for 10 years. He commissioned the manufacture of the trophy - which was named in his honour. When was it first used and when was the original cup retired? The trophy was first presented to Limerick as the first winners of the 1921 All-Ireland Championship in 1923. The final was not played until March 1923 as it had been suspended amid the political situation at the time. The original cup was retired in 1992 and it is now displayed in Croke Park at the GAA Museum. A replica of the original trophy has been used to mark the winners of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship ever since then. The Cup is brought home by the winners each year with the exception of 2020 when the cup remained in Dublin due to the covid pandemic.
