TG4 has announced that it will broadcast 10 more live SSE Airtricity League women's national league games this season - beginning with Sligo Rovers home fixture against holders Shelbourne at the Showgrounds on Saturday, July 30th.
The publicity video for the announcement was filmed on Coney Island in Sligo - and featured three 'local' LOI players: Emma Hansberry (Sligo Rovers), Gurteen's Roisin Molloy (Athlone Town) and Drumcliffe's Yvonne Hedigan (Bohemians).
Bohemians defender Yvonne Hedigan, who's a native of north Sligo, spoke to Ocean FM Sport's Austin O'Callaghan about the new deal and her comeback from a serious leg break in 2021.
After linking up with the Football Association of Ireland in 2021 to broadcast four WNL games, TG4 has now increased that coverage commitment this season to 10 games.
'Sacar Beo' will be presented by Galway sports broadcaster Máire Treasa Ní Cheallaigh, who will be joined by a team of expert football analysts.
Three of the 10 games have already been confirmed starting with Rovers v Shelbourne at the end of this month.
The remaining seven fixtures will be finalised in due course.
