Three athletic competitions to catch this week

Women’s Gaelic Football

The Kilkerrin-Clonberne team from Galway has achieved an impressive streak of 43 consecutive championship victories, and this weekend they will strive for their fourth All-Ireland senior club title in just four years. Their opponents will be Kilmacud Crokes, who are making their debut in the finals. Last year, the Dublin squad took the defending champions to extra time during the All-Ireland semi-final. – Saturday, TG4

Darts

As Christmas approaches, it signifies the time for darts. The upcoming event, known as the 2025 PDC World Darts Championship, extends into the first days of January and kicks off this weekend at Alexandra Palace in London. In the finals last January, Luke Humphries triumphed over Luke Littler, and both players are favored to contend for the title once more. – Dec 15th-Jan 3rd, Sky Sports

Camogie

Sarsfields stands as a powerhouse in club camogie, and this weekend they will be vying for their eighth All-Ireland senior final in the past nine years. Their challengers, Clare’s Truagh-Clonlara, looking to deny the Galway team a fourth championship, bounced back from an early three-goal deficit against Loughgiel Shamrocks in the semi-final to advance to the final for the first time, marking a historic moment as the first team from Clare to make it to the club final. – Sunday, RTÉ
