Mayo GAA TV to stream over 20 club games live
MAYO GAA will once again be providing a live streaming service for its club championship this year on www.mayogaatv.com.
Agreement has been reached with StreamSport, Mayo GAA’s broadcast partner, to broadcast over 20 club championship matches live in total.
"We are delighted to be able to provide this service again this year as we appreciate that some people cannot get to attend games and support their local clubs," commented Mayo GAA PRO John Walker.
"Overall, the feedback to the Mayo GAA streaming service has been very positive. Covid, of course, was a factor over the past two years but we were surprised to get so many calls and emails again this year asking us to continue broadcasting our games live. People abroad or those unable to attend games for whatever reason really appreciate being able to watch them on their phone, tablet or TV."
Mayo GAA have confirmed that two games from each of rounds one, two and three of the club championship will be broadcast live on www.mayogaatv.com.
The mouth-watering Egan Jewellers IFC opening round tie between AIB All-Ireland junior club champions Kilmeena and their south Mayo rivals Kilmaine kicks off the season on Saturday evening (September 3) at 6 p.m. live from St. Brendan’s Park in Kilmeena.
The following afternoon the cameras will be in Knockmore for the opening round of the Connacht Gold SFC between the home side and Aghamore at 2 p.m.
In round two, Westport versus Ballintubber will feature on the Saturday evening, September 10, at 5 p.m. from St. Patrick’s Park in Westport, with Ballina Stephenites and Knockmore the feature game on Sunday, September 11, at 2 p.m.
Mayo GAA have also confirmed that games from the junior, intermediate and senior club quarterfinals and semi-finals will be broadcast live. All the club finals this year will be streamed live, with the Mayo GAA senior hurling championship final also included on the schedule of games.
"We believe this is a very worthwhile and important service that connects all our club supporters at home and abroad but spiralling streaming and production costs must also be factored into the equation and that is why we are seeking a title sponsor for the streaming service this year. We feel this is a great opportunity for a local business to come on board and ensure this service continues into the future," commented Mr. Walker.
