This week's Sunday Game is set to be the longest edition in the history of the show. The Sunday night programme in its 34th year will be running for over two and a half hours.

This week's show is especially long due to the first round of the football qualifiers taking place along with both Ulster and Leinster semi-finals. Added to these are the replays from last weekend's drawn matches in the Connacht football semi-final and Leinster hurling semi-final after London and Dublin nearly caused major shocks.

Des Cahill tweeted earlier expressing his excitement for the upcoming show: @sportsdes1h: This week's #SundayGame will be the longest EVER highlights edition in the programme's 34 year history. 8.30pm - 10.40pm. Cant wait! #GAA
