Two sporting events to watch this week: Your handy guide to sport on television

Must read

Soccer

The 2024 Uefa Women’s Under-19 Championship takes place in Lithuania over the next two weeks. It’s just the second time the Republic of Ireland have qualified for the finals and another marker of the recent progress in the women’s game in Ireland. However, they’ve been handed an incredibly tough group. The Irish women take on reigning champions Spain on Monday, the team Spain beat in the final, Germany, on Thursday, and the side Spain defeated in the semi-final, Netherlands, on Sunday. – July 14th-27th, uefa.tv

Hurling

The last time Cork and Clare met in the All-Ireland senior hurling final was the replayed 2013 decider, which Clare won. Shane O’Donnell famously scored 3-3 for the champions that day, with Patrick Horgan scoring 19 points between the draw and replay. Both will line-up on Sunday again, with another classic, hopefully, in store. – Sunday, RTÉ & BBC
