Eimear Ryan: Scant TV highlights did camogie classics little justice

Like many GAA fans, I settled down at 9.30pm on Sunday evening in a state of suspense. It’s the same coin-toss at the end of every weekend, whether it’s Allianz League Sunday or The Sunday Game. What will be up first – the hurling or the football? Which of our national games has the national broadcaster decided will take precedence this week?
Actually, last weekend, nothing happened at 9.30pm. The Euros were on, so Allianz League Sunday was pushed back to 10.10pm. I made another cup of tea and flipped over to Dermot Bannon to kill 40 minutes. When I checked back, Seán Cavanagh and Pat Spillane had joined Joanne on the big semi-circular couch. Back to Dermot so.
