Tyrone semi-final is live on BBC

BBC Championship football

Tyrone's quest to make it three All-Ireland finals in six years will be live on BBC Northern Ireland television and on BBC Radio Ulster this Sunday.

Jerome Quinn presents coverage of the Ulster side's semi-final clash with Wexford at Croke Park on BBC2 Northern Ireland from 1545 BST.

There is also a 1545 start for Radio Ulster MW commentary on the game.

The All-Ireland minor semi-final between Tyrone and Meath is live on Radio Ulster MW from noon.

There will be full match commentary on the minor game by Ger Treacy and Adrian McGuckin from noon until 1400 while Owen McConnon and Brian Canavan will take you through the senior action.

Adam Coates will be your host for both matches on Radio Ulster.

Jerome Quinn will be joined in the studio by his usual studio guests Jarlath Burns and Martin McHugh, while Mark Sidebottom and Rory Gallagher provide the commentary.

Should Tyrone win on Sunday, their All-Ireland final tussle with either Cork or Kerry will also be live on BBC Northern Ireland.

Shane Glynn, Editor of Sport, BBC Northern Ireland, said: "It was always our aspiration to cover Ulster teams in the All-Ireland stages of the Championship.

"But it's a complicated rights situation, involving RTE and Setanta, and we're very appreciative of the efforts that have been made by the GAA, both the Ulster Council and Croke Park, and the other broadcasters to secure live coverage on BBC Northern Ireland of these games for local GAA fans."
