    "TG4 will make history on Saturday October 28th when they will screen the first-ever live broadcast of a First Division fixture since the advent of the two-tier league in the 1985/86 season.

    Athlone Town take on Galway United at Dubarry Park with a 7.30pm kick-off and the TG4 cameras will be there – as they were for Athlone Town’s FAI Carlsberg Cup quarter-final against Shamrock Rovers last month."


    Good to see that part of the National Media are starting to realise that there is eircom league football outside the pale!

    Could have sworn Athlone was in The Pale?

    Good to see that they are taking an interest in the 1st division, but my only fear is that many say the eL in general is not ready for live televised games. Showing this could turn more people away than it might attract. Hope my cynicism is unfounded.

    Some classy finishing from Gethins. Interesting to see if he stays with Galway or goes back up to Harps.

    Great to see EL 1st division on TV. I was switching between The Milan Derby, The Bastard Game, and the Athlone match.

    Tony Cousins swerved the question about the relegation/promotion like Diego Maradona. He values his cash.
