The Connacht SFC final is one of three provincial finals that will be screened live by TV3 this year (the Ulster football and Leinster hurling finals are the two others) as RTE’s monopoly on broadcasting all the live championship action finally comes to an end.  RTE still gets to keep all the juiciest bits of the Summer’s action but the ten matches that TV3 have got (full details here) gives them ample opportunity to strut their stuff and should help to raise the bar for RTE’s often pedestrian efforts.  So, despite Kerry’s seemingly remorseless advance towards another three-in-a-row, the degree of competitiveness in terms of how the action is covered should make for interesting viewing.
