Kildare GAA fans have one key fixture set for the live screen this week when the hurlers take on Down this weekend.

The Lilywhites welcome Down to St Conleth’s Park on Saturday afternoon for Round 5 of the Joe McDonagh Cup, with the clash set to be streamed live on Clubber from 2pm.

It’s one of 13 inter-county matches being broadcast or streamed this week across TG4, RTÉ, GAA+ and Clubber.

The midweek action kicks off on Wednesday with the Leinster U20 hurling final between Kilkenny and Dublin, live from O’Moore Park on TG4.

Friday sees another provincial showdown as Kerry and Cork face off in the Munster minor football final, also on TG4.

Saturday brings a triple-header of Joe McDonagh Cup clashes on Clubber, including Laois v Carlow and Kildare v Down. The All-Ireland senior football championship group stages also get underway with a high-flying Louth v Monaghan and Donegal v Tyrone, both live on GAA+.

Meanwhile, Kilkenny meet Galway in the Leinster minor hurling final at O’Moore Park, shown on TG4.

Sunday offers five more fixtures including the Connacht and Munster Ladies football finals between Mayo and Galway and Waterford and Kerry, with both games live on the Spórt TG4 YouTube channel.

The concluding round of the Leinster senior hurling championship is also down for decision with Offaly and Antrim set for live broadcast, alongside a key Munster SHC clash between a wounded Cork side and Waterford, and the Ulster minor football final at 5.15pm.
