Your guide to the best sport on television
The four-day Cheltenham Festival is an annual favourite for fans of jump-racing. Particularly Irish racegoers, who travel in big numbers to Gloucestershire around St Patrick’s Day each year. The meeting features several Grade One races, including the Champion Hurdle, Queen Mother Champion Chase, Stayers’ Hurdle and, of course, the Gold Cup on Friday.
On the same bill as the football decider, St Kieran’s College take on St Raphael’s College, Loughrea in the All-Ireland Colleges Hurling Final. The Kilkenny side are truly giants of the competition, and are, incredibly, appearing in the All-Ireland final for the ninth time in a row – having only lost two of those deciders. In contrast, only once in the 80-year competition has a school outside of Munster or Leinster claimed the title – that was St Raphael’s back in 1995.
