GAA to face awkward DJ Carey decision during Sunday's All-Ireland Hurling final
GAA organisers will have to make an awkward decision regarding DJ Carey before Sunday's All-Ireland final with the 2000 All-Ireland winning Kilkenny team set to be honoured. As is tradition, the victors from 25 years ago return to Croke Park on the day of the All-Ireland final with each panel member's name read out individually while they are invited to receive applause from the Croke Park crowd. The ceremony, which takes place before the game, will typically mention those in attendance. DJ Carey was part of that 2000 winning team and was named Man of the Match for his performance on the day. However, the GAA have been left with the headache as to whether to announce Carey as part of the Jubilee Team or not. 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. Given that Carey is now awaiting sentencing for the charges, GAA organised are now in the unenviable position of deciding if they are to break from tradition by excluding a member during the Jubilee announced, and it is highly unlikely that Carey will attend the honours. Carey made his debut for Kilkenny in 1988 and played up until 2006 and undoubtedly goes down as one of the game's greats. Carey 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. The ex-Kilkenny forward also collected nine All-Star awards during his career, trailing only Henry Shefflin with 11. Cork and Tipperary meet in this Sunday's All-Ireland final with throw-in set for 3.30 pm.

What time and TV channel is Louth v Offaly on today in the Leinster Minor Final?
Louth football is riding the crest of a wave with their under-20s and seniors both landing Leinster titles over the past two and a half weeks in a remarkable period of success for a trophy starved county. 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. Where is the game being played?
