Women’s National League coverage to be shown live on TG4

THE Women’s National League is set for live TG4 coverage this autumn.

The FAI and TG4 recently announced a deal to screen four live games as the 2021 season reaches its dramatic conclusion.

It’s the first time in the league’s 10-year history that games will be shown free-to-air on a national broadcaster. They’ll also be available for a global audience on the TG4 Player.

Currently, there’s a thrilling title race readying itself.

Peamount United, Wexford Youths and Shelbourne are all in with a shot. It’s the latter who will be in action in the first game of the live coverage.
