Dogs to tackle Cats in reality TV show

REALITY television show The Underdogs is to follow the fortunes of a hurling side this season.

The show, made by Adare Productions for TG4, previously charted the selection of a side of gaelic footballers, who had never played senior inter-county, and their meetings with teams such as Cork, Dublin and Kerry.

The producers are now turning their attentions to hurling - with a final with Kilkenny already finalised for December. That fixture is already being dubbed The Cats versus the Dogs.
