Imagine saving enough to buy an apartment only to face financial ruin while sandwiched between mysteriously noisy floors.

All-Ireland hurling final: What time is throw-in for Cork v Tipperary today and can I still get tickets?
What's happening? Munster champions Cork face neighbours Tipperary in the All-Ireland senior hurling final at Croke Park. What time is throw-in? The final will be played on Sunday, July 20th with throw-in at 3.30pm. Where can I watch? The game will be televised live on RTÉ2 and BBC Sport NI. For those tuning in from overseas, GAA+ will stream the decider on their app and website. The Irish Times will also have live updates from Croke Park, as well as reaction and analysis from our team of writers. READ MORE How can I get tickets? As is always the case for All-Ireland finals, tickets will not go on general sale. They will instead be distributed through clubs, with the competing counties receiving the largest allocations.

No team news just yet as Pat Ryan and Liam Cahill are likely only on the pencil stages of their team planning as they put their panels through their final paces in the run-up to Sunday. The teams will be shared later this week – how closely they'll resemble the sides that line out on Sunday will be interesting in itself – but we'll update when they land. Championship so far After the heartbreak of last year's All-Ireland final defeat to Clare, Cork have come storming back in 2025. The Rebels fired an early warning in winning the league (beating Tipp in the Division 1A final back in April), but the ever-competitive Munster championship proved more trying. In their provincial opener in Ennis, Cork looked set a rousing victory, leading by 12 points at the break, only for the Banner to battle back to manage a draw. Next up was Tipperary, and Pat Ryan's side slotted in four goals to win by 15 points. The Rebel Rollercoaster sped on, this time hurtling towards a humbling 3-26 to 1-16 defeat to Limerick before a six-point win over Waterford to close out the group stages. Three weeks after their fourth-round bruising at the Gaelic Grounds, Cork ventured back to the Ennis Road to face their tormentors once again in a game that earned its place among the province's great deciders. With nothing to separate the teams after a pulsating 90 minutes, the result went to penalties, Cork triumphing to end Limerick's six-year hold on Munster.

Slow Lions build-up finally culminates in Test week Listen | 37:54 Just like Cork, Tipp's escapade through Munster had the full spectrum of results – a draw against Limerick in round one, followed by the loss to Cork at Páirc Uí Chaoimh and a pair of wins against Clare and Waterford. So close was this year's Munster championship, deciding the two finalists came down to scoring difference, Cork edging Tipp with their +5 to the latter's -3. Missing out on the provincial final, Liam Cahill's men instead took the long road, arriving at Sunday's All-Ireland final via rousing wins over Laois and Galway before their two-point (despite what the scoreboards may have said) semi-final win over Kilkenny. Last All-Ireland meetings It's almost beyond belief given their storied rivalry but these Munster foes have never met in an All-Ireland senior hurling final. [ Legend will become fact once more when Cork and Tipp meet in the ultimate superhero battle Opens in new window ] What's their recent All-Ireland record? Cork reached the All-Ireland final on four occasions (2006, 2013, 2021 and 2024) since their last triumph in 2005. A win on Sunday would mark their 31st All-Ireland SHC title. Tipperary have been much more acquainted with Liam MacCarthy over the last two decades, winning in 2010, 2016 and 2019, with three All-Ireland final defeats also coming in that period (2009, 2011 and 2014). A win on Sunday would be the Premier County's 29th All-Ireland SHC title, narrowing the gap to Cork who sit second in the All-Ireland roll of honour behind Kilkenny and their 36 titles.

Today's top TV and streaming picks: Shakespeare in Love and Surf Girls International
The Narrow Road to the Deep North BBC One, 9.15pm Jacob Elordi is a busy man. Having sealed his fame playing Elvis Presley in the biopic Priscilla, and portraying the object of Barry Keoghan's obsession in Saltburn, he currently has three films awaiting release — remakes of Frankenstein and Wuthering Heights, and Ridley Scott's post-apocalyptic sci-fi The Dog Stars. Somehow, amid all that, he's also found the time to shoot The Narrow Road to the Deep North, a five-part wartime drama based on Richard Flanagan's 2014 Booker Prize-winning novel of the same name. It's a production that took the Brisbane-born actor back to his native Australia to play the central character of Dorrigo Evans as a young man (Ciarán Hinds takes over as he ages). The story itself is set across three particular phases — before, during and after World War II. When we first meet him, Dorrigo is a medical student on the verge of beginning his military service. He's due to be married to a wealthy young woman, but is about to have his head turned by Amy (Odessa Young), the much younger wife of his uncle (Simon Baker). However, there are dark times ahead that will change his life forever. 'The Narrow Road to the Deep North is an epic tale of the sustaining power of love under the harshest of circumstances,' say executive producers Jo Porter and Rachel Gardner. 'We can't wait for audiences to see it.' The Sunday Game Live RTÉ2, 2.15pm Who will succeed Clare as the All-Ireland hurling champions? We're about to find out — this year's final, between Cork and Tipperary, takes place at Croke Park this afternoon. Jacqui Hurley presents highlights later on at 9.30pm. All Creatures Great and Small RTÉ One, 6.30pm It's the day of little Jimmy's christening, but one person who might not be at the church is godparent Siegfried — he's been called out by the always awkward Biggins. Here's hoping James's parents can make it on time at least. Jimmy Doherty's Big Bear Rescue Channel 4, 8pm More bears are set to arrive at the wildlife park. One of them, Brunhilda, is being transported from Romania as company for the social Diego, but to say they don't hit it off is an understatement. Meanwhile, another polar bear joins the resident gang. Faraway Downs RTÉ2, 11.30pm Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman and Bryan Brown star in director Baz Luhrmann's six-part extended take on his film Australia. Set in 1939, it deals with a widowed English aristocrat's efforts to run a huge cattle ranch in the Outback. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade RTÉ2, 6.05pm The third film in the blockbusting franchise is also one of the best. Harrison Ford once again plays the intrepid archaeologist, who is searching for his estranged missing father (Sean Connery). Shakespeare in Love BBC One, 10.30pm Oscar-winning period comedy-drama focusing on the fictional affair between William Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) and an actress (Gwyneth Paltrow), which inspires him to write Romeo and Juliet. Judi Dench makes a memorable appearance as Queen Elizabeth I. Amy Bradley is Missing Netflix, streaming now In 1998, Amy Bradley vanished from a cruise ship without a trace. Decades later, sightings and speculation still swirl. This three-parter explores this haunting cold case and her family's fight to bring her home. Krays: London Gangsters Prime Video, streaming now Twins Reggie and Ronnie ruled London's underworld for two decades — and had their story portrayed by the Kemps to boot.

Euro 2025: Germany survive early red to edge France on penalties and reach semi-finals
Ann-Katrin Berger pulled off a superb final save as Germany beat France 6-5 in a penalty shootout to set up a Euro 2025 semi-final showdown with world champions Spain after a bruising encounter that ended 1-1 after extra time. The Germans pulled off a stunning comeback from a goal down and a straight red card for defender Kathrin Hendrich after 13 minutes, battling their way back into the game and eventually getting the better of their opponents in a thrilling shootout. Hendrich was sent off after a VAR review established that she had pulled the hair of Griege Mbock Bathy in the box, and Grace Geyoro's subsequent penalty had the power to get over the line despite Berger getting a strong hand to it. France 1-0 Germany A moment of madness! Germany's Kathrin Hendrich is sent off and France are awarded a penalty after VAR spots a hair pull in the box. Grace Geyoro converts, just. 📺 Live on RTÉ2/RTÉ Player — RTÉ Sport (@RTEsport) July 19, 2025 On the ropes and struggling, the Germans suddenly levelled, Sjoeke Nuesken catching the defence napping by darting towards Klara Buehl's near-post corner and flashing a header into the net in the 25th minute. With the well-organised Germans defending doggedly, France had two goals ruled out for offside, Nuesken had a second-half penalty saved, and neither side managed to score in extra time. The game went to penalties, and Berger got the shootout off to a great start for the Germans by saving from Amel Majri, but they were brought back to level pegging when Sara Daebrtiz struck her spot kick off the crossbar and over the goal. Berger then fired home from the spot herself before diving to her left to deny Alice Sombath, sending the Germans through to the last four. They will face Spain on Wednesday, a day after England face Italy in the other semi-final.
