\nTG4\u2019s live GAA Beo coverage delivered outstanding viewership on Wednesday night, with 228,700 viewers<\/strong> tuning in live across five underage GAA games shown free-to-air across TG4 platforms.<\/p>\n

The evening showcased the very best of underage Gaelic Games, with five live fixtures available across TG4, the TG4 Player, the TG4 App and Sp\u00f3rt TG4 YouTube<\/strong>. Three of the five games went to extra time, as supporters were treated to a dramatic night of hurling and football action.<\/p>\n

The standout moment of the night came in the Munster U20 Hurling Final<\/strong>, where Clare defeated Limerick after a remarkable sudden-death penalty shootout. Clare goalkeeper Mark Sheedy<\/strong>, from the Sixmilebridge club, produced a heroic performance, saving three penalties and also converting his own strike from the spot.<\/p>\n

Sheedy\u2019s title-winning save has since gone viral on social media and was picked up internationally, featuring as number one on ESPN SportsCenter\u2019s Top 10 Plays of the Day<\/strong><\/a> in the United States. The full penalty highlights are available on Sp\u00f3rt TG4\u2019s YouTube channel here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Munster U20 Hurling Final attracted the largest live audience of the night, with 104,000 viewers<\/strong> watching Clare v Limerick. There was also major interest in the two All-Ireland U20 Football Semi-Finals, with 52,900 views<\/strong> for Kerry v Roscommon and 26,500 views<\/strong> for Kildare v Tyrone.<\/p>\n

Kerry v Roscommon and Galway v Wexford also required extra time, adding to a memorable night of live underage GAA coverage on TG4 platforms.
