Afternoon throw-in for re-scheduled All-Ireland final

The postponed Kerry-Tyrone All-Ireland semi-final is set to take place on Saturday 21 August at 3pm, though the Ulster champions yesterday expressed misgivings about the new date, co-manager Brian Dooher admitting it "would be a struggle" to get the team ready in time due to the Covid cases within the squad.

The subsequent All-Ireland football final, now pencilled in for Saturday 4 September, will throw in at 3pm. The throw-in time is earlier than previous Saturday All-Ireland finals, which have typically been replays and have usually been played later in the evening. Ireland's 2022 World Cup qualifier against Azerbaijan will kick off at 5pm in the Aviva Stadium on the same day.

RTEgaa Brilliant. Should be able then to get an extra 10 or 15 thousand in with an extra weeks delay
