Mayo's five-goal defeat of Tipperary was the star attraction of the weekend's sporting action on RTÉ as both All-Ireland Football semi-finals drew over half a million viewers.

Despite Cillian O'Connor's first-half hat-trick, part of a 4-9 haul, ensuring the game was over as a contest by the break, The Sunday Game Live held an average viewership of 530,000 to watch the eight-goal game, with an audience share of 50%, peaking at 587,000.
