Live sport on TV in Ireland this weekend - April 3rd

Another big weekend!

After what was a relatively quiet weekend last week, with barely any football and relatively minor URC games, we are back with some serious action.

The League of Ireland returns with some huge fixtures, the Champions Cup knockouts are here, and, of course, Limerick v Cork in the National League final.

Enjoy yourselves!
