This is 15 for 50: The Hurling Edition. We tasked three of the greatest minds in hurling - Anthony Daly, Anthony Nash and Liam Sheedy - to come up with a XV of the greatest hurlers the game has seen from the past 50 years to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the All-Stars! Who will get into a stacked full forward line? Who misses out by the skin of their teeth? How many lads will be moved out of position to facilitate another? It is a fascinating listen and, yes, the lads do come to an agreement in the end! #15for50   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Continuing on the coaching theme, this week Maurice chatted to Martin Bennett, sprint coach to the stars of the GAA. Over the course of the podcast, Martin delved into his role with the Waterford hurlers, how to get the most of an athletes performance and how impressive Tyrone's Conor Meyler truly is.

We discuss how things have turned around for Ireland and what it means going forward.  He also makes his Ladbrokes 1-2-Free picks, giving us his reaction to the Newcastle takeover and how it will affect the current squad, and why Tottenham fans should be very worried about the form of Harry Kane.  Get in touch with the show by emailing thegaffer@balls.ie or contact us @ballsdotie on Twitter or Instagram.

We'll also have special guests, tactical breakdowns, and much, much more.  This week, Shane (0.58) looks back on an enthralling Munster Hurling Final, with Limerick securing three in a row thanks a second half blitz the likes of which we've rarely seen. Can anybody get in their way at that form? Maybe Kilkenny? Given the horrendous personnel issues in the Dublin camp, it's hard to know much about where The Cats are right now. Or maybe a challenger will emerge from the qualifiers. Shane is very impressed with Clare after their big win in the stifling heat of Thurles on Saturday afternoon.  Maurice Brosnan then brings us Inside The Game (40.06) with reaction to Dublin footballers' looking vulnerable against Meath, and a stunning weekend of Ulster football. Hee also takes us through his Embedded article from last week Tyrone's more positive approach paying dividends.  We also look at the greatest GAA moustaches of all time (1.12.55) and PJ and Gary battle it out to guess the handicaps (1.14.52) for next weekend's games.  You can get in touch with the show on social media or by emailing thegaffer@balls.ie.

It's football only this week for Guess the Handicaps and it's a massive week for a number of counties in the curtailed Allianz League campaign.  This week, Mick moves to the contestant's chair where he takes on PJ with five fixtures from Divisions 1, 2 and 3. The two boys will have the simple task of guessing the handicap for each game.  It sounds simple, and it is, though the lads don't often make it look so. We chat about the big stories of the weekend around each game as we get pumped for a summer of GAA!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Buildup, in association with Ladbrokes is our weekly podcast where we mark your card for the sporting action of the week ahead in the company of Ladbrokes ambassadors Kevin Doyle, Stephen Ferris, Jason Quigley, and other top sporting pundits.  Kevin joins us this week to discuss a massive week of football. Manchester United take on Villareal in the Europa League Final exactly 22 years after their greatest night in the Noucamp. Kevin remembers that game, which he watched as a 15-year-old United fanatic! Can tonight's game be a stepping stone to those glory days again?  On Saturday, Man City have the chance to make history but come up against a team who have beaten them twice in a row in Chelsea. Kevin gives his predictions on the game, and, ahead of the Playoff Finals this weekend, he remembers his own experience in the richest game in football!
