LIVE LEAGUE OF IRELAND, RTÉ 2, FRIDAY 7.25PM

There are two big soccer matches on RTÉ over the weekend, with the cream of the domestic scene meeting in Oriel Park on Friday night as three-in-a-row Champions Dundalk host runaway leaders Cork City. The visitors are 15 points clear of the champions and are unbeaten to date, while Dundalk have blown hot and cold since the start of the season.

The following night, the UEFA Champions League final is played in Cardiff between Juventus and Real Madrid. This is a fascinating challenge and clash of styles between the defensive masters from Turin and the flamboyant Spaniards led by the mercurial Cristiano Ronaldo.
