Aine interviews Cavan sharpshooting forward Paddy Lynch who had a banner year this year with the Breffni County until it was cut short when he suffered a cruciate knee injury.Lynch talks about the injury scuppering his plans to play in the U.S. this summer.The Crosserlough clubman was top scorer in all four divisions of the National League and scored 1-9 and 0-5 in Ulster Championship matches against Monaghan and Tyrone respectively, bringing his tally for the last nine games to 2-60.The popular Lynch is widely regarded as the best inside forward to establish himself in the Cavan senior side in the last 15 years or more.A proven inter-county goalscorer and placekicker, his scoring tally in his career to date suggests he is on track to become one of the county's highest scorers.Lynch discusses the 2024 season, who he thinks will win the All-Ireland football final and what players he looked up to growing up.This podcast is also available to watch on YouTube here - https://youtu.be/bhKIWWwB2E4 Hosted on Acast.

New York play Leitrim in the opening round of the Connacht Senior Football Championship Saturday with the Exiles looking for their first ever win in the competition having first entered the tournament back in 1999.Excitement is building in the Big Apple with many pundits believing this is the strongest New York panel in a number of years with new additions including Rob Wharton and Gavin O Brien from Kerry, Eoghan Kerin from Galway, Bill Maher from Tipperary and Shane Carthy from Dublin who is commuting from Boston to hook up with the squad.Odds on New York pulling off the upset have been slashed from 13/2 into as low as 9/4 with Boyle sports.One negative for the panel is that they have not played any competitive or challenge games ahead of Saturday, whereas Leitim have just finished a full schedule of Division 4 league games.In this podcast, Michael interviews Niall Madine who has been one of the top forwards in the county in recent years.

Pat established SISU in 2018 with two other cork men – brothers James and Brian Cotter -- and the trio are on a massive expansion campaign in the U.S. where they are looking to open around 200 clinics.Pat gives us an insight into how the SISU growth plans are going while we also look back on Pat's incredible career and journey.His most successful business ventures include Cubic Telecom, a mobile roaming business and Trustev, an e-commerce fraud prevention firm which he sold for $44 million. He lived in Sunnyside and Astoria in Queens for a number of years in the past and has moved to Manhattan to oversee SISU's expansion.It wasn't all uphill for Pat. He was a chef and a butcher in a previous life before he became heavily dependent on alcohol. He kicked drinking more than 20 years ago and gives us an extremely honest and raw account of his battle with booze and how he transformed his life.To follow the exciting SISU expansion you can follow the company on Instagram @SISUClinincs or Pat whose handle is @patphelanAnd as always feel free to leave us a comment about this episode on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter @thelonghallpodcast or visit our website www.TheLongHalPodcast.com for more interviews.

Michael speaks to County Louth man Tim Herlihy about his new Irish whiskey called Lost Irish.Tim is an Irish whiskey expert and has traveled the globe crafting his trade in the industry and developing Lost Irish. The concept behind Lost Irish will resonate with many emigrants as it tells the story of the 70 million Irish diasporas spread across the world. The casks used to make Lost Irish are sourced from six different continents to symbolize the Irish living in these areas and the various casks give the whiskey its unique taste and flavors Tim discusses why Irish whiskey has made a comeback in recent years and why the industry is now booming. Tim has also co-authored a beautifully produced book called From Barley to Blarney: A Whiskey Lover's Guide to Ireland which documents Ireland's 50 most iconic bars and pubs. Tim and the founders of the famous Dead Rabbit Bar traveled around Ireland to visit each bar featured in the book including some gems like The Long Hall Bar in Dublin and The Castle in Cork.If you'd like to purchase some Lost Irish Irish Whiskey or Tim's book just click on some of the links in the description below.Lost Irish Website - https://lostirish.com/Book - https://www.amazon.com/Barley-Blarney-Whiskey-Lovers-Ireland/dp/1449489931The Long Hall Podcast.com - http://thelonghallpodcast.com/Lost Irish Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lostirishwhiskey/Follow us on social media or leave a comment on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, @thelonghallpodcast.Follow Tim on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lostirishtim/ Hosted on Acast.

The42.ie's Gavan Casey is back to give us a preview on Katie Taylor's upcoming fight against Karen Carabajal this Saturday in London. Katie puts all her word lightweight titles on the line against the unbeaten Argentinian although she isn't expected to cause too many problems for the Irish Olympic Gold medalist. Although we usually only cover Irish topics or Irish sporting events in America….I felt it was worth keeping tabs on Katie this weekend given she is based in Connecticut and of course has fought stateside many times before. Gavan also gives us insight into why the Amanda Serrano rematch in Croke Park didn't materialize this year and he tells us if he thinks that megafight will happen next year…… Or Will we see Katie trading leather with the likes of MMA super Kris Cyborg back in Madison Square Garden or in Las Vegas. We also look back on the sensational success of Ireland's female boxers at the European Championships last weekend with gold for Kellie Harrington, Amy Broadhurst and Aoife O'Rourke. As listeners know, the podcasts have been a bit sporadic over the last few months and that's basically because I've been tied up myself playing Gaelic football here in New York. The season has now ended so I hope to get back up to speed with things here. I'm hoping to do a podcast at least once every 2 weeks, likely to be released midweek on a wed or Thursday. If there's anyone, you'd like to hear me interview feel free to reach out on our social media channels on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, @thelonghallpodcast. I have a really interesting interview with Irish whiskey expert Tim Herlihy that I've kept on ice over the last few months. Tim is the co-founder of the new Irish Whiskey called and that will be released next.Visit www.thelonghallpodcast.com for more boxing and New York GAA news.You will also find other New York GAA match reports on the site as well as a podcast with New York Hurling Division Chair Richie Hartnett.If you would like to send in your own match reports, or other Irish American sports stories, please reach out to us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, @thelonghallpodcast.
