Guide to sport on television (Monday – Sunday, July 10th – 16th)

Shamrock Rovers v Breidablik

Shamrock Rovers will begin their European campaign this week against Icelandic champions Breidablik. The Dublin club, who claimed the Airtricity League Premier Division title last season and are currently top of this season’s table, will meet the team from Kópavogur (a short distance south of Reykjavik) at Tallaght Stadium on Tuesday evening. The winner of the Champions League first round qualifier will meet FC Copenhagen in the next round. – Tuesday, RTE

World Matchplay

The 30th edition of one of professional dart’s “Triple Crown” will take place at Winter Gardens, Blackpool from July 15th-23rd. Co Derry’s Daryl Gurney is at the oche on Saturday, while Co Antrim’s Josh Rock and Co Fermanagh’s Brendan Dolan are both in action on Sunday. However, the trio of Gerwyn Price, Michael Smith and Michael van Gerwen will start as among the favourites to take home the £200,000 (€235,000) first prize. – From Saturday, Sky Sports

Women’s SFC

The 2023 Women’s Senior Football Championship has entered the knockout stages with the All-Ireland Quarter-finals scheduled for the weekend. All four games are expected to be tight affairs, with Meath – who are chasing three-in-a-row – facing a highly-fancied Kerry, who haven’t won the All-Ireland title for 30 years. Dublin and Cork are seeking to regain their past dominance of the sport. – TG4, Saturday & Sunday
