One of sport’s greatest curses could be lifted this weekend, as Mayo aim to bury a 75-year hoodoo.

The men from the West are in the All-Ireland football final, having last won the prize in 1951 - they have lost in 11 finals since.

To end their wait, they will have to see off the ominous threat of defending champions Kerry who are seeking their 40th crown.

The match is live on RTÉ2 on Sunday at 3.30pm.

Before that, you can enjoy the build-up in Up For The Match: Live From Croke Park on RTÉ1 on Saturday at 9.30pm.

Presented by Jacqui Hurley, Dáithí Ó’Sé, and Louise Cantillon, it will be a live celebration from Croke Park, in front of 300 fans, looking forward to the final the following day.

Meanwhile, Cork are aiming for a record 31st title as they take part in the semi-finals of the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championships on Saturday.

The Rebels face Tipperary at Semple Stadium at 6pm, after the other semi-final between holders Galway and Kilkenny at 4pm.

Both games are live on RTÉ2.
