jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/26a6ezva Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Former Kerry football manager Mick O Iarbhainisteoir peile Chiarraí Mick O'Dwyer tar éis bháis. Former Kerry football team manager Mick O'Dwyer has died at the age of forty- eight. Tá iarbhainisteoir fhoireann peile Chiarraí Mick O'Dwyer tar éis bháis in aois a ocht mbliana agus ceithre scór. 'Micko' was one of Ireland's greatest sporting figures and won many medals, championships, trophies and awards as a player and manager throughout his life. Duine de mhórphearsana spóirt na hÉireann ab ea 'Micko' agus is iomaí bonn, craobh, corn agus gradam nach iad a bhuaigh sé mar imreoir agus mar bhainisteoir i gcaitheamh a shaoil. He won four All-Ireland championships as a player and eight championships as a pioneering manager of that famous elite team that Kerry had in the seventies and eighties. Ceithre chraobh Uile- Éireann a bhuaigh sé mar imreoir agus ocht gcraobh mar bhainisteoir ceannródaíoch ar an scothfhoireann cháiliúil úd a bhí ag Ciarraí sna seachtóidí agus sna hochtóidí. The Kerry team at that time, led by the Waterford man, were often in footy duels with the great Dublin team led by Kevin Heffernan, games that are deeply engraved and carved in stone for the Gaelic Athletic Association. Ba mhinic na Ciarraígh an uair úd, faoi stiúir fhear an Choireáin, i ndeabhaidh chosbháire le sárfhoireann Bhaile Átha Cliath a raibh Kevin Heffernan ina ceannas, cluichí atá greanta go domhain agus go snoite i gcloch oiris Chumann Lúthchleas Gael. Not counting the All-Ireland Championship, Mick O'Dwyer won the Munster Championship 23 times and the National League eleven times as both a player and manager. Gan Craobh na hÉireann a bhac, bhuaigh Mick O'Dwyer Craobh na Mumhan 23 uair agus an tSraith Náisúnta aon uair déag mar imreoir agus mar bhainisteoir araon. Although he was a staunch Kerryman, his talent was sought after in other counties as well and he was lured by teams that were not performing well – namely, Kildare, Laois, Wicklow and Clare – in the hope that he would turn the malt into ale, even though he was a man who had always abstained from intoxicating drink. Cé gur Ciarraíoch dílis go smior a bhí ann, bhí tóir ar a ardchumas i gcontaetha eile leis agus mealladh é ag foirne nach raibh ag cruthú go maith – mar atá, Cill Dara, Laois, Cill Mhantáin agus an Clár – le súil go ndéanfadh sé leann den bhraich, siúd is go mb'fhear é a staon riamh ón deoch mheisciúil. In fact, Kildare won the Leinster Championship in 1998 and 2000 under the guidance of Mick O'Dwyer and that team reached the All-Ireland final in 1998, when they were beaten by Galway by four goals. Go deimhin, bhain Cill Dara Craobh Laighean i 1998 agus in 2000 faoi lámh stiúrtha Mick O'Dwyer agus chuaigh an fhoireann sin chomh fada le cluiche ceannais Chraobh na hÉireann i 1998, tráth a fuair Gaillimh an ceann is fearr orthu le ceithre chúilín. Mick O'Dwyer made his living as an innkeeper and undertaker in Waterville. Is mar óstóir agus adhlacóir sa Choireán a shaothraigh Mick O'Dwyer a bheatha. His first wife Mary Carmel died in 2012 and he married Geraldine Shields in 2023. Bhásaigh a chéad bhean chéile Mary Carmel in 2012 agus phós sé Geraldine Shields in 2023. He is survived by his sons John, Robbie and Karl. Maireann a chlann mhac John, Robbie agus Karl. He was predeceased by another son, Michael. Bhásaigh roimhe mac eile, Michael.

Former Dublin All Ireland winning manager and player gives us a fascinating insight into his approach to man management in both sport & business. We chat about his career as a player winning an All Ireland title with Dublin in 1995 and an All Ireland club title with St Vincents in 2008. How he was then offered the Dublin managers job only a few months after hanging up his playing boots and the reasons why he took on the challenge. Pat goes into great detail about how he reacted to suffering a humbling defeat to Kerry in the quarter final in his first year in charge. Working with a mindset coach and setting out certain KPI's for the team to focus on for the following year. He chats openly about how he had to adjust his own management style in order to get the best out of the players and to ensure they bought into his new approach. Which ultimately led to a famous All Ireland Championship win against old foes Kerry in 2011. We also chat about his year as manager with the Dublin hurlers in 2017 and his more recent role as Mayor Uisce with the Dublin footballers in 2023 (and why he was really there). If you have interest in sport, performance psychology and/or leadership in business, this episode is packed with nuggets you can take into your own career or coaching role.

A member of the Clare Minor Hurling backroom team is confident his side have what it takes to reach the last four of the All-Ireland Championship this weekend. Clare will be hoping to keep the defence of their title alive on Monday when they take on Wexford as part of a double header in Semple Stadium Thurles. The Banner come into the clash with no new fitness concerns, but will be without talisman Marc O'Brien who sustained a knee injury during the win over Limerick. Clare Selector Fintan Leamy insists his players are fully focused on the task in front of them. Throw on Monday is at 3 in FBD Semple Stadium Thurles with live commentary on Clare FM in association with Keatings bar and Restaurant Kilbaha, Loop head.

0:00-9:22 - Intro; 9:22-44:54 - Clare's progression to a third consecutive Munster Senior Hurling Final against Limerick is analysed with Ger O'Connell and Kevin McNamara who looked back on another heart stopping finale, this time against Tipperary along with peering ahead to the club championship draws that were made last week; 44:54-1.00:31 - Avenue United are the double league and Clare Cup champions for the second time in three years following a tense titanic final showdown with arch-rivals Newmarket Celtic that was only decided on penalties on Saturday. CDSL PRO Dean Russell joined the lads to reflect on that historic achievement, the season as a whole and the crowning of the inaugural Donovan Sports Alternative Clare Cup champion; 1.00:31-1.35:09 - Mark Fitzgerald's senior footballers need to bounce back against Tyrone in Omagh this Sunday in what is a make-or-break tie for both in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.

In the end, it was not to be Galway's day as they were beaten by Dublin at Pearse Stadium in the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship. Dublin's 2-27 to 1-24 win meant that Galway finished fourth and are out of the Leinster and All-Ireland Championships for 2024. Here is the commentary with Sean Walsh, Cyril Farrell and Niall Canavan.

Welcome back to Navigating New York! On this week's episode I chat to Peloton's first ever Irish fitness instructor, Daniel McKenna aka Daniel Yankee.Daniel is 29 and has been living in New York for almost 5 years. Known by his friends and clients as Daniel Yankee, he was born here in the Bronx, but raised in his beloved County Monaghan. Growing up Daniel says his Mum was his biggest inspiration and is still his greatest supporter. As a PE teacher, she encouraged Daniel to try every sport he could.  However Daniel's talent on the Gaelic Football field is what brought him to some of the highest levels of the sport in Ireland, playing at all levels for his County and winning an All-Ireland Championship with his Club Truagh Gaels in Croke Park in 2014 - putting away 1.7 from play on the day himself. His talent in GAA brought him to Boston and Chicago and Daniel eventually followed his aspiration to move to New York in 2017 where he had been recruited to play for Sligo GAA. The day after he landed at JFK, he started laboring as an electrician in Lower Manhattan, and his new adventure began. Daniel did what he could to make ends meet while he pursued his dream of becoming a fitness instructor on the side. Early mornings and late nights working 2 jobs, travelling the length of Manhattan every day took a toll on Daniel but he never stopped hustling. After he got one lucky break in a chain of gyms he kept his eyes on the prize and developed as a personal trainer with various certifications and built experience taking as many clients and group classes as he possibly could. During the pandemic, Daniel started his own fitness group, the Irish Yank Society, that started out as virtual kettle bell class people could do from home but as restrictions eased, transformed into a very popular outdoor class down the street from his apartment in Greenwich Village. In late 2020 Daniel got approached by Peloton to audition to become a fitness instructor for what he describes as his absolute dream job. For anyone unfamiliar, Peloton is the world's largest interactive fitness platform with almost 6 million members. Peloton peaked during the pandemic because they had already developed a new concept in Fitness using technology, content and best-in-class instructors to empower people to reach their fitness goals at home. Peloton are known for their sleek treadmill and stationary bike you can buy and have delivered and set up in your home, as well as their App for equipment free workouts. It's well known that peloton instructors are handpicked and become like celebrities within the peloton community! In our chat Daniel talks about the struggles he faced on his way to this huge success and I hope you take as much from his story as I did!

This evening's Across The Line has a heavy focus on the big ball, with the knockout stages of the County Football Championships getting underway, and a crucial vote at Special Congress about the future of the All Ireland Championship.

While the Mayo heartbreak continues, let's also celebrate Tyrone for what they have achieved and on the final Throw-In podcast of the season, Dick Clerkin and Cora Staunton join Will Slattery and Michael Verney to give credit where credit is due to the 2021 All Ireland champions. “It's everything that you'd want in your team that you'd be involved in or if you were a coach at any level,” says Dick Clerkin. “The confidence, the skill level, that passion, the tackling, the discipline….I've just total respect and admiration for what they done and how they done it.” But for Cora Staunton, there are plenty of questions to be asked about Mayo's approach to the game. “I'm still wondering what their actual forward game plan or system of play was,” she says. “Because at times it didn't seem like they had one or knew what they were doing. At times we had Aidan O'Shea inside in the square and we couldn't get long ball into. At times we had Kevin McLoughlin in there, our most creative forward, sitting very deep, and we had Tommy Conroy at times too far away from goal so for me it was our decision-making, our lack of composure, especially in that forward third.” Looking ahead to 2022, can Mayo go again? Wow strong will the Dubs be? Who will be in charge of Kerry? And of course Tyrone will be back more confident than ever – it promises to be another fascinating campaign. Finally on this week's show, Wexford's Ursula Jacob also joined Will and Michael to look back on the camogie final where Galway beat Cork in a classic game that was a brilliant advertisement for the sport and show-cased just how good the standard has become, auguring a bright future ahead.

2021 is becoming known as the year of the underdog but there's one remaining question to be answered and that's whether Mayo can banish the ghosts of footballing pasts by capturing Sam Maguire for the first time in seventy years at the weekend. On this Throw-In football final preview special, Will Slattery and Michael Verney are joined by Cora Staunton and Peter Canavan as they look ahead to the big game. “It's a little bit surreal down here,” Cora tells the show. “While there's plenty of flags and bunting, cars painted and stuff like that, it's not as hyped or as built up as in other years. I think Mayo fans have learned in the past that the more hype you have it's probably not the best. We're optimistic and there's a confidence down here but things are certainly calmer which is good.” While in Tyrone, Peter Canavan says people are upbeat, never expecting to have got so far this year. “The mood's very good, people are in great form up here, there is a great buzz about the place in the towns and villages. There's nothing but red and white so supporters have really bought into it and bought into this team. They've given us a great run so far and we're in a position very few expected us to be in.” Injury concerns notwithstanding, Cora says it will be tight for Mayo but expects them to pull through by a point or two in the end, while Peter thinks it will be even tighter and will finish in a draw with nothing to separate the teams. ‘It's too hard to call,' he says.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/ygwqhmsl Public transport services back to normal. Seirbhísí iompair phoiblí ar ais mar a bhíodh. Public transport services are back to normal before the pandemic since this morning. Tá seirbhísí iompair phoiblí ar ais mar a bhíodh roimh an bpaindéim ó mhaidin inniu. Health Minister Stephen Donnelly pointed out that the Government had decided to provide a full service again and that the decision had not been taken on the advice of the National Public Health Emergency Team. Thug an tAire Sláinte Stephen Donnelly le fios gurb é an Rialtas a bheartaigh seirbhís iomlán a chur ar fáil arís agus nach de réir comhairle ón bhFoireann Náisiúnta Éigeandála Sláinte Poiblí a rinneadh an cinneadh. Stephen Donnelly said Transport Minister Éamon Ryan was adamant on reallocating full service in light of the major difficulties in maintaining constraints for transport companies. Dúirt Stephen Donnelly go raibh an tAire Iompair Éamon Ryan láidir ar sheirbhís iomlán a cheadú arís i bhfianaise na ndeacrachtaí móra a bhí srianta a chothú do na comhlachtaí iompair. Speaking on RTÉ, however, Donnelly acknowledged that the decision risks increasing the number of Covid-19 cases in the country. Ag labhairt dó ar RTÉ, ghlac an Donnghaileach leis, áfach, go bhfuil an baol ann go méadóidh an líon cásanna covid 19 sa tír de bharr an chinnidh. According to the plan announced by the Government yesterday to end the Covid-19 restrictions, people will always have to wear masks on buses and trains. De réir an phlean a d'fhógair an Rialtas inné faoi dheireadh a chur le srianta covid 19, beidh ar dhaoine maisc a chaitheamh i gcónaí ar bhusanna agus ar thraenacha. Stephen Donnelly again appealed to people who are still in two councils about the vaccine, he begged them to give him the drink of the bitter drink. D'achainigh Stephen Donnelly arís ar dhaoine atá idir dhá chomhairle fós faoin vacsaín, d'achainigh sé orthu ól na dí seirbhe a thabhairt air. He also indicated that 50% attendance is likely to be allowed at the All- Ireland Championship final between Mayo and Tyrone in Croke Park on 11 September. Thug sé le fios chomh maith gur dóichí go gceadófar tinreamh 50 faoin gcéad ag cluiche ceannais peile Chraobh na hÉireann idir Maigh Eo agus Tír Eoghain i bPáirc an Chrócaigh ar an 11 Meán Fómhair. That's an oireachtas 40,000 people. Sin oireachtas 40,000 duine. He said he was concerned about the rise in the number of Covid-19 cases in the North, Scotland and Wales after the authorities in those places lifted many restrictions.

After the Dubs dominance of the last six years, the 2021 All-Ireland football final has a unique pairing with Tyrone and Mayo set to meet up following Tyrone's surprising win over Kerry at the weekend and on this week's Throw-In, Cora Staunton and Dick Clerkin join Will Slattery and Michael Verney to discuss where and how such an upset was caused. Plus, looking ahead to Mayo's chances against Tyrone, Cora Staunton says her own county would have preferred not to be facing Kerry. “From a psychological point of view for Mayo it's probably better that it's Tyrone rather than Kerry because obviously we've had All-Ireland final baggage with Kerry in the years past. I think it's going to be a huge tactical battle, Horan is very shrewd in the way he operates and Dooher and Logan are exactly the same. The way they set Tyrone up, their organisation was immense and it's going to be a very difficult final for Mayo.” The camogie final pairing has also been decided with Cork facing Galway in a repeat of the 2015 final and Ursula Jacob joins the panel to discuss the semi-final wins for Cork over Kilkenny and Galway over Tipp and she gives her prediction for the final.

It's been described as the greatest hurling final display since Kilkenny's demolition of Waterford in 2008 and after Limerick's record score and victory over Cork this year, just how can they be beaten? Brendan Cummins and John Mullane join Will Slattery and Michael Verney on this week's Throw-In to look back on Limerick's incredible performance as well as reviewing where Cork got it so wrong and what other counties can do to stop the ‘green machine' from dominating in the years to come. “It was probably the best half of hurling I've ever seen,” says Mullane. “It was just relentless. They just pushed this button, they went into gear and they just blitzed Cork and it was just a joy to sit back and watch it. The great teams don't let up and they didn't let up in the second half.” Listen and follow the Throw-In on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, with new episodes every Monday throughout the Championship.

The countdown to the 2021 All-Ireland Hurling Final is on and the Throw-In looks ahead to the clash of Limerick and Cork with an exclusive interview with Galway legend, Joe Canning, who tells Will Slattery and Michael Verney why all the pressure is on John Kiely's men. Canning also talks about life post-retirement, his future coaching plans, and the good and bad days of his hurling career. Also on the show, former Limerick All-Star, Andrew O'Shaughnessy, and former Cork manager, John Meyler, run through where they see the game being won and lost. Unsurprisingly, both are tipping their respective counties to win by three points but Meyler says Cork will be in no fear of the reigning champions. “Cork have just quietly gone about their business and they've a new style, a new freshness and certainly won't fear Limerick and Croke Park will suit this kind of running, mobile athletic Cork team.” Listen and follow the Throw-In on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, with new episodes every Monday throughout the Championship.

After nearly a decade, Mayo have finally shaken off Dublin and taken their fans on another incredible journey to Croke Park. On this week's Throw-In, Ciarán Whelan and David Brady join Will Slattery and Michael Verney as they look back on an epic clash between the two counties. For Brady, it was the gritty, never-say-die manner of the victory over such a decorated Dublin team that said more about the win. “As a Mayo man, as a Mayo person, as a Mayo supporter, we have always said it, we're on this journey with the team and the team represents the people. Time and time again we've come up short and we have failed and it's been very disappointing against Dublin because their class just eluded us by the smallest of margins in games but it was great to get that one victory to beat such a dominant Dublin team.” For Dublin meanwhile, it's not quite back to the drawing board but they will certainly be a team in transition for the coming years says Whelan. The Dublin ladies continue to march on however and they will face Meath who are into their first All Ireland ladies football final after an incredible come back from six points down against Cork. Bríd Stack joins the show to go through where it went wrong for the Rebels and the chance Meath has of causing another upset. Plus, there was also time for Michael Verney to celebrate Offaly's U20 All Ireland football success on a weekend when the traditional big guns were ousted.

It's Cork v Limerick in the 2021 All Ireland hurling final and what a mouth-watering game it promises to be. Ultimately Cork got over the line despite Kilkenny's last gasp heroics, whilst Limerick were too good for Waterford, and on this week's Throw-In, John Mullane and Frank Roche joined Will Slattery and Michael Verney to look back on the semi-finals and preview how they see the final going. Mullane has been singing Cork's praises for the last number of weeks and he says their tradition and self-belief will count for much in their approach to the final. “The Rebels are the rebels,” says Mullane. “And the Rebel Roar was back yesterday. Cork hurling is in a very good place. Their dander is up, they're hurling very, very well. They can be extremely dangerous opponents for anyone and here we are now, we're going to be in for a thrilling final with both Cork and Limerick.” The panel also discussed Kilkenny's fight and determination and what the future holds for Brian Cody, while Mullane also says that the Waterford county board must stick with Liam Cahill for them to fulfil their potential. In the football, Frank Roche looks ahead to next weekend's semi-finals with question marks over Dublin's form the biggest what-if, alongside that of whether and when Tyrone and Kerry will get the go-ahead due to Covid concerns.

Waterford are into another All Ireland semi-final after beating Tipperary at the weekend but the question now is whether their speed and running game will be enough to overcome the country's best in Limerick? Brendan Cummins and John Mullane join Michael Verney on this week's Throw-In as they give their verdict on Waterford's win, Cork's victory over Dublin and rate the counties' chances in the semis. Plus there's special mention for Offaly's 41 points scored against Derry to win the Christy Ring final while in the Nicky Rackard final, Mayo beat Tyrone by sixteen points to win their second title. And with Joe Canning's retirement from the game, the panel rank Joe Canning's career amongst the greats, remembering his legacy to his county and the overall game of hurling. In the football, Dick Clerkin and Martin Breheny review the Leinster and Ulster finals and for Clerkin, it was a case of a lost opportunity for his native county in their one-point loss to Tyrone. Dublin's eight-point victory over Kildare gave them yet another Leinster title and sets them up for a semi-final against Mayo and while they're not dominating as in years gone before, they're still in the last four and just two games away from another All Ireland title. But it's the strength in depth that is raising question marks with people asking are they vulnerable? “They just need to be one point better than Mayo, one point better than Kerry,” says Dick Clerkin. “And there's nothing to say that they won't be because they're still an excellent team. I expect them to put up a big performance against Mayo. But at the end of the day, it's up to Mayo to try and bring it, don't expect Dublin to come back any further and give them a handy semi-final win, that's just not going to happen.” Listen and follow the Throw-In on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, with new episodes every Monday throughout the Championship.

It's official, Kerry are now the bookies favourites and after their historic 22-point demolition of Cork in the Munster final, Sam is there for the taking. On this week's Throw-In podcast, Tomás Ó'Sé joins Will Slattery and Dermot Crowe and he tells the lads just how far the Kingdom really can go believing that Dublin are the most vulnerable they've been in ten years. “Kerry are favourites,” he admits. “They're working like animals all around the pitch. I think they have an edge, the harder edge this year definitely.” The panel also rate Mayo's chances in the semi-final after their 11-point turn-around in the Connacht final while Kerry face the winner of Tyrone v Monaghan in next weekend's Ulster final. Meanwhile, in the hurling, John Mullane was on the show celebrating Waterford's win over Galway and he reckons they will have the speed to topple Tipperary in the quarter-finals. On the other side of the draw, Cork's win over Clare sees them meet Dublin and Mullane thinks the Rebels have every chance to go far. “Something is definitely happening down Leeside,” says Mullane. “I wouldn't like to be playing them and I think they'll win at the weekend and that'll put them in a semi-final and - a bit like Waterford - momentum will be with them and they seem to be building down there.” Listen and follow the Throw-In on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, with new episodes every Monday throughout the Championship.

It's been called Limerick's greatest half of hurling and it sealed their first Munster three-in-a-row since the 1930s so can anyone now stop them retaining the All Ireland? On this week's Throw-In, Michael Verney was joined by Colm Keys and Brendan Cummins to look back on all the weekend hurling action. Kyle Hayes's goal was reminiscent of New Zealand rugby star Jonah Lomu in his pomp says Keys while Cummins believes that Limerick can be stopped, but only if you bring enough bodies out the field. ‘If you get most of those Limerick players one-on-one, like it was in the second half,' says Cummins. ‘Unless you're an Olympic sprinter with a hurley in your hand, you're going to be in difficulty, so the only way around that is to pull bodies around the middle of the field. Every time they turn they hit into somebody and try to get them to take risks that they wouldn't normally want to take and Tipp did that in the first half but unfortunately in the second half it obviously petered out.' Elsewhere, it was yet another Leinster title for Kilkenny and Brian Cody while Clare's win over Wexford sees Brian Lohan's team hitting their stride as they face Cork next in the qualifiers. For Davy Fitzgerald though, the question is, has he taken this Wexford team as far as he can? In the football, Dublin reached their eleventh Leinster final in a row overcoming Meath by six points but their form so far has been sluggish, and Keys reckons they are beginning to fray at the edges. Are Kerry and other counties sensing an opportunity this year? But the big story was in Monaghan where their two-point win over Armagh in the Ulster semi-final was a bittersweet victory coming less than twenty-four hours after the death of their U20 captain Brendán Óg Duffy.

It's been a fairly rough few days for everyone involved in Leitrim GAA, this week County Board secretary Declan Bohan drops into the show to discuss the aftermath of the defeat to Mayo on Sunday and outline the roadmap ahead to a brighter day for the green and gold.Looking back on the events in MacHale Park on Sunday, Aidan Rooney shares with his co-host Breifne Earley his thoughts on the demoralising defeat focusing on the predictability of the outcome ahead of the fixture and the apathy that's growing across the country towards the provincial and All Ireland Championships outside of a small number of competitive counties. Declan outlines the next steps in the recovery as they prepare to analyse the fallout of their semi final loss and establish the next steps ahead for the county and the personnel, both on and off the pitch, involved in the county teams.Aidan and Breifne take a look back at the club fixtures played over the weekend and take one eye forwards towards the club championships which start this week with the draw for the group stages of the Senior & Intermediate competition taking place on Thursday evening.

Limerick's Hurler of the Year, Gearóid Hegarty, joins Will Slattery and Michael Verney for an exclusive interview on this week's Throw-In podcast as he looks ahead to the crunch Munster final clash with Tipperary. Hegarty then talks about his hugely successful career, the importance for him of being able to switch off completely from the game to re-charge and why getting in the ‘flow' is the holy grail for athletes. He also opens up on why he thinks fans shouldn't have to wear masks at Championship games and reveals what training and living during the Covid conditions has been like. “You have to be very careful because a two week quarantine for being a close contact of someone that tested positive and you're going to miss a game. Somebody could get in in your place and do really well and you might struggle to get back in. Nothing has really changed to be honest from last year's Championship to this year's Championship in terms of how we've to prepare. You've to be super careful.” Elsewhere on the show, Donnchadh Boyle reviews all the weekend football action when it finally kicked into gear with Donegal's last-gasp winner over Derry. However, Mayo's demolition over Leitrim in Connacht has thrown up red flags, he cautions, about the ever-widening gap between the big counties and the rest.

Dublin's hurlers provided the first major shock of the Championship as they tore up the script against Galway and on this week's Throw-In podcast, John Mullane joined Will Slattery, Michael Verney and Roy Curtis to look back on all the controversies, highs and lows from the weekend action. With Galway's status as the main rivals to Limerick now very much in doubt, Tipperary's win over Clare sees them trying to stop John Kiely's team achieving a Munster three-in-a-row. But it was for referee James Owen's penalty and sin-bin decision against Clare's Aidan McCarthy that proved the game's key turning point. “For me it was an absolutely crazy call, an absolutely crazy call,” said Mullane on the podcast. “It effectively ruined the match and it was the shot in the arm that Tipperary needed to push on and win the game and it effectively was the winning of the game.” In the football, Dick Clerkin joined the panel and while Dublin stuttered against Wexford, they march on to a Leinster semi final against Meath; in Connacht, Galway were five point winners over Roscommon and in Ulster Monaghan and Armagh have set up a mouth-watering semi-final clash. But again it was off-pitch matters that's been dominating with questions over Stephen Cluxton's retirement still unanswered. “He deserves so much credit,” says Clerkin. “But you can't almost do that now if there's a chance he might come back and it might just peeter away and I think that's probably unfortunate, but that's Stephen's style, he'd probably be uncomfortable with all of that and if that's his wont, well so be it.” Listen and follow the Throw-In on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, with new episodes every Monday throughout the Championship.

The 2021 Championship is up and running and with the main rivals to Dublin's crown all in action, Kerry, Donegal and Mayo showed they are all hungry to push on this year. While there were easy wins for Kerry, Donegal and Mayo, will Dublin's dominance be affected most of all by their own dressing-room with Cian O'Sullivan announcing his retirement and question marks over Stephen Cluxton's involvement for another season in doubt. Ciaran Whelan joined Will Slattery, Michael Verney and Conor McKeon to look back on all the weekend football action and addressing the Cluxton situation, Whelan said he think it's unlikely Cluxton will be involved next week saying Dublin's lack of strength in-depth could hurt them. “One of my concerns going into the Championship is when you look at Dublin's depth that they used to have and the impact of the subs that could come off the bench and how frightening it was for opposition defenders to see a Diarmuid Connolly or a Kevin McManamon coming on in the height of their powers with 15-20 minutes to go. That would be a little bit of concern for Dublin going forwards.” Meanwhile, in the hurling, Brendan Cummins also joined the panel and he believes that the wins for Dublin, Wexford and Clare have all shown a hunger and desire that has marked the cards of their opponents in next week's provincial semi-finals. “You look at Brian Lohan at the end of the third quarter, he was spitting fire about the wides and the expletives were coming out but you could see the passion and the spirit of '95 I think is what was pouring out of him and that's what Clare supporters would have wanted - that ferocious, vicious attitude towards the game, never say die. Yes they made mistakes, but you're going to make that when you're trying as hard as what Clare were trying.” Listen and follow the Throw-In on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, with new episodes every Monday throughout the Championship.

With the League barely out of the way, we're already looking forward to the start of the 2021 All Ireland football and hurling championships this weekend and in a special preview show, John Mullane and Dick Clerkin join Will Slattery, Michael Verney, Colm Keys and Frank Roche with their predictions for the summer. It's a two-horse race in both the football and hurling our experts are predicting and despite a lot of people tipping Kerry, Dick Clerkin believes Dublin will still have too much for the Kingdom in the home stretch and will make it seven-in-a-row. But it's beyond the big two where he thinks most of the interest will lie. “There's an awful lot to look forward to for a lot of counties in terms of the competitiveness that's there,” he says. “And like there was last year with the Cavan and the Tipperary stories there will be similar stories this year. I'm really looking forward to a lot of those sub-battles and plots throughout the provinces.” In the hurling, John Mullane and the rest of panel are all going for a Limerick win with Galway pushing them all the way. But history beckons for John Kiely's men, says Mullane. “In Limerick the back-to-back has never been done before and I think Kiely and Kinnerk realise they've a special group of players. They're a very well grounded bunch of players and there's a realisation there that they want to win as much as they can when they can, when the going is good and the going is good now at the present moment in time and I think they're going to achieve back-to-back titles.” Listen and follow the Throw-In on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, with new episodes every Monday throughout the Championship.

There was to be no unbridled Christmas celebrations for Mayo – or Waterford – fans this year with the favourites in both codes winning out comfortably at the end of the 2020 All Ireland series but the fall-out from Dublin’s historic six-in-a-row continues to be debated. Ciarán Whelan and David Brady joined Will Slattery and Michael Verney on the last Throw-In of the year as they discussed where it went wrong for James Horan’s men and why Dublin’s strength in depth saw them winning out once again. “In every sense of the word they really put it up to Dublin and competed,” said David Brady. “Yes you're disappointed when you lose an All Ireland final but I seen a lot of positives and a lot of things to work on from a Mayo perspective.” For Whelan, it was Dublin’s clutch players that proved the difference. “I think Dessie Farrell probably played it smart and knew that he had to finish strong coming into that last 15-20 minutes. You've real clutch players that can come in and make a difference and they have the experience that they're going to make a difference and Dublin have that depth where Mayo are probably trying to get their best fifteen on the field at the start and trying to kind of hang in there.” Elsewhere, Will and Michael also discussed Sunday’s Ladies Football final with Dublin marking their own four-in-a-row with a five-point victory over Cork. Remarkably, you have to go back to 2004 and Galway when neither Dublin nor Cork have won the title and similar to the men, Dublin Ladies endured their own heartache of losing finals along the way. At the end of one of the toughest of years, the panel agreed, it was a testament to the GAA , the players and the counties that the Championships were started and finished bringing some much needed excitement, entertainment and hope during this winter period. We can but hope for even better things to come in 2021.

The GAA Championship is set to say goodbye to 2020 this Sunday with the clash between Mayo and Dublin in the All Ireland Football Final - their third final meeting in the last five years. The possibility of a team winning six-in-a-row scarcely seemed credible years ago but now Dublin’s dominance of the game has people wondering how far they can go and whether their incredible levels of success are causing more harm than good. If one team can break their bubble however, it’s Mayo, and on this Throw-In preview special, Conor McKeon joins Will Slattery and Michael Verney to discuss where the game will be won and lost come Sunday. Of the three final defeats Mayo have suffered to Dublin in the last decade, each has been only by a point so James Horan men won’t be over-awed or cowed by the opponents they’re facing. The problem however is Dublin and with their match-winning experience, strength in-depth and calm mindset, it’s hard to see how Mayo can do enough to overcome Dessie Farrell’s team. The Throw-In team are all predicting a Dublin win on Sunday but don’t forget to listen in to Monday’s post-mortem as David Brady and Ciarán Whelan join the lads to either celebrate or commiserate after what promises to be another close encounter.

Waterford’s wait for another All Ireland hurling title goes on but in the aftermath of this year’s hurling decider, all the plaudits are rightly on Limerick’s incredible performance to win their second Liam MacCarthy in three years. On this week’s Throw In podcast, Ursula Jacob and John Mullane join Will Slattery and Michael Verney to look back on all the action. As Ursula Jacob points out, this was John Kiely's fourth year in charge and in twenty Championship games with Limerick, he's only lost five. “I think they're going to build on this year again,” says Jacob. “They look unstoppable at times when they're in full flow.” For John Mullane, he’s proud of Waterford’s campaign this year but also proud in what the GAA has given the Irish people during Covid. “The last six, seven weeks have just been magical, absolutely magical,” says Mullane. “It's been so uplifting for the whole country and you know, it answers all the questions should this Championship went ahead? Absolutely. Look at the joy that it brought to everyone. It's after shortening our winter, Christmas is upon us but it's just the pride of being involved in such an organisation.” Plus, also on the show, the panel looked back on Antrim’s Joe McDonagh Cup victory over Kerry and Ursula Jacob hailed Kilkenny’s resilient three-point win over Galway in the camogie having lost five of their six previous finals.

In the year of Covid and a delayed, truncated season without fans, the 2020 All Ireland Hurling Final will be remembered no matter what. But with red-hot Limerick facing a Waterford team with unshakeable belief and a growing momentum behind them, Sunday’s Croke Park showdown looks set to be a classic on the pitch, no matter what’s been going on off the field. Can Waterford finally end their pain of sixty-one years and bring back Liam MacCarthy for the first time since 1959? One of the Throw-In’s regular guests, Waterford legend, John Mullane, certainly thinks so and he has been bullish on the show about the Déise’s chances saying it will be the best Christmas yet for Waterford fans. However, the Irish Independent’s Vincent Hogan, joins Will Slattery and Michael Verney for a special Throw-In hurling final preview show and reckons, despite Waterford’s perfect storm in terms of aggression and tactical strategy, that Limerick will have the edge. “There is a kind of been there-done that feeling to this Limerick team,” he tells Will and Michael. “I think Waterford will throw the kitchen sink at them and what's interesting about this is we saw how Limerick went after Éanna Murphy's puck-outs in the semi-final. I think Galway won only eight out of fifteen of their own long puck-outs; Kilkenny had the same problem against Waterford, in the second half particularly when Waterford scored an astonishing 2-16 from play. They went after Eoin Murphy's puck-outs. So there's a self-sufficiency in both teams. It's making for a classic, they're the two in-form teams.

It might have been a weekend of Football Championship semi-finals but the aftermath of the games has seen more negatives than positives and this week’s Throw-In with Will Slattery, Michael Verney, Conor McKeon and Martin Breheny looks back on the big talking points on and off the field. Dublin’s fifteen point winning margin over Cavan sees them attempting an unprecedented six-in-a-row but the focus has all been on Dublin’s seemingly unstoppable advantage due to county size and funding. But what exactly is the issue that critics say needs to be addressed and how? Conor McKeon describes it as ‘hysteria’ while Martin Breheny dismisses calls to split the county or amalgamate other ones. Meanwhile, Mayo’s thirteen point victory over Tipperary also saw them ship 3-13 and many are fearful for their chances against the Dublin ‘machine’ and what it may mean for the long-term future of the game if they lose badly. And in the ladies football, while Cork beat Galway by ten points to reach the final against Dublin, the talk has all been about the multiple change of venues and throw-in time which has seen Galway manager, Tim Rabbitt, hitting out at the ‘disgraceful’ treatment of the players. Michael Verney was in Croke Park for the game and explains to Will just what went on and why he believes it is a ‘regressive’ day for women’s sport in Ireland.

Could this be Waterford’s greatest Christmas ever? Despite the pandemic and the lockdown, the Déise will be celebrating come the evening of Sunday December 13th says John Mullane on this week’s Throw-In. He joined Will Slattery, Michael Verney and Ursula Jacob as they looked back on the action from the weekend All Ireland hurling and camogie semi-finals and he’s ebullient about how the final against Limerick is going to go. “I think you're going to see the end of a massive famine in two weeks’ time,” Mullane said. “And unfortunately, the celebrations might have to be put on hold or there'll probably be some form of low-key ones but I don't care, I don't think any Waterfordian will care. Once Liam MacCarthy is coming back to Suirside it will be the greatest Christmas of all time. I think Waterford are going to do it.” Limerick’s victory over Galway was a hard-fought one despite Kiely’s men having the better chances and it is the ‘fear factor, being afraid to lose’ that Ursula Jacob thinks might prove to be a stumbling block for them. While in the camogie semis, Galway beat Tipperary by six points while Kilkenny saw off Cork by two points for their fifth consecutive final and a repeat of last year’s clash. But Galway’s defensive strength should see them retain their title reckons Jacob.

One hundred years, eighty-five years and twenty-three years in the making. It was the GAA weekend that saw history being made in the Football Championship and joining Will Slattery and Michael Verney to look back on it all on this week’s Throw-In podcast were Brendan Cummins and Ciarán Whelan. “We were worried about no crowds being at the grounds and they are eerie and it is different and you're saying 'ye it's not the same', but yesterday made it all worthwhile,” Whelan told the show. “Ironic that it's the same four provincial winners as a hundred years, you just couldn't write that sort of stuff so it was just an incredible day to be a GAA follower.” For Cummins who was also previously involved with the Tipp footballers, it was an amazing day for Tipperary and not one that he was surprised about when it finally came. In the rest of the football, Cavan’s win over Donegal probably raised more eyebrows when it came but it’s showing the strength of belief in the so-called smaller counties and with no backdoor anything can happen on the day. In contrast to the other provinces, the Dublin machine in Leinster keeps rolling over all opposition with the county’s tenth Leinster title in a row captured in a twenty-one point victory over a very disappointing Meath. Football may have garnered much of the headlines from the weekend, but Saturday’s hurling qualifiers were also of the highest quality with Galway ousting reigning All Ireland champions, Tipperary, and Waterford beating Clare convincingly to reach an All Ireland semi final against Kilkenny. Could Waterford be the dark horses for this year’s All Ireland where history is being made every step of the way?

It was another weekend of scintillating GAA action with Limerick retaining their Munster title over a spirited Waterford team, while in Mayo, their good form continued with a one point victory over Galway in the Connacht Final and to look back on all the talking points from the games, Will Slattery and Michael Verney were joined by John Mullane and David Brady on this week’s Throw-In. For John Mullane, despite Waterford’s defeat, the manner of their performance gave him hope and he reckons they’ll have enough to overcome Clare to reach an All Ireland semi-final. ‘We’re back on the horse again and heading in the right direction,’ he says. In Leinster, Brian Cody’s Kilkenny won the provincial crown for the first time since 2016 and while everyone focuses on Limerick, could the Cats be coming in under the radar for a tilt at the All Ireland? Meanwhile, in the football, Donegal are being spoken of as serious contenders to Dublin’s title after an impressive twelve point victory over Armagh in the Ulster semi-final facing Cavan in the provincial decider. He might not want to say it but for David Brady, Mayo’s Connacht final victory sees them only two games away from capturing Sam Maguire the week before Christmas. Could 2020 be the unlikeliest of years for them to reach the promised land? “It was good from a Mayo perspective to get on the right side of the result,” says Brady. “I think it will give a lot of confidence to the younger and older players as well from winning a Connacht title and I say that because silverware is important and especially in Connacht and especially for your confidence.” For more from the Throw-In, visit the show page at: www.independent.ie/podcasts/the-throw-in/ The Throw-In’s All Ireland Championship series is in association with Bord Gáis Energy.

The Championship has ignited. Cork’s last-gasp winning goal has dumped Kerry out of the Championship without any backdoor for the Kingdom to go through. 2020 is over for Kerry football and on this week’s Throw-In, David Brady and Martin Breheny join Will Slattery and Michael Verney to look back on a weekend of GAA fireworks. “We haven't seen that in a lot of GAA over the last number of years,” said Brady. “It was an epic battle in monsoon conditions but the outcome, no one could have scripted it. But let me say, I do think that the pen was very heavy from a Kerry point of view in completely and utterly writing off a Cork team who have the bones of a very good footballing team.” In Connacht, Mayo march on to a Connacht final against Galway with their tails up after beating Roscommon and with Kerry now out of the way, one from Cork, Tipp, Mayo or Galway will reach the 2020 All Ireland decider. In the hurling qualifiers, Cork saw off the challenge of Dublin setting up a mouth-watering tie against Tipperary in the quarter finals while Clare squeezed past Laois to face Wexford. With no more room for error, Kerry’s shock defeat to Cork has shown just how quickly the season can end for some.

Limerick are the complete team and only Covid can stop them reckons John Mullane who joined Will Slattery, Michael Verney and Ursula Jacob on this week’s Throw In as the panel looked back on a bumper weekend of hurling, camogie, Gaelic football and Ladies football. “They're after sending out a serious, serious statement of intent there,” said Mullane. “To score 3-23 in the conditions was just incredible and I honestly think they're a penalty kick from winning this All Ireland. The only thing that could stop them realistically could be Covid 19 if they were to get struck down with a couple of cases of it. I think they're on a mission.” With Cork’s defeat to Waterford, Ursula Jacob questions their ability and hunger now to lift themselves against Dublin while in Leinster, Galway are Mullane’s other contenders to rival Limerick. In the football, it was a short-lived Championship for Tyrone after defeat to Donegal and many are now asking if Mickey Harte’s time is up while in contrast, Michael Verney lauds Wicklow’s rise under their young manager, Davey Burke. Plus there’s a round-up of the camogie action with Galway easing past Offaly and Clare knowing Dublin out while Cork beat Wexford while in the Ladies football Michael Verney reviews Dublin’s Halloween scare to Donegal, Galway’s win over Tipperary and Kerry’s blitz over Cavan.

What a way for the Championship to start back. Limerick’s thirty-six point haul against Clare has put them firmly in the driving seat and John Mullane joins Will Slattery, Michael Verney and Roy Curtis to look ahead to all the Championship action. While empty stadiums have been something all of us have to get used to, it doesn’t lessen the pressure on the players and teams as they are all knock-out matches now and this weekend sees the Munster hurling semi-finals of Cork v Waterford and the hotly anticipated clash of Tipperary v Limerick while in Leinster it’s Dublin v Kilkenny and Galway v Wexford. “To run out on the field, to run out to your own supporters…it's those few minutes before the match before the ball is thrown in that gets you going and obviously it’s all very surreal and it's going to take a couple of games to get used to,” says Mullane. In the Football Championship, Mayo have a chance to forget about their League relegation with a win over Leitrim while in Ulster, two favourites in the province, Donegal and Tyrone, face off in Ballybofey. But the big question still remains: can Dublin be toppled? Michael Verney certainly thinks so and is tipping Kerry to do it. “Just with everything that has changed in the Dublin camp in the last twelve months and the absence of Jack McCaffrey and a lot of elder statesmen from the dressing room, the role of all these older guys within the panel was huge. So Kerry will definitely sense that the door is ever so slightly ajar and the last two games have definitely suggested that they'll be able to go through that door if the opportunity arises.” For more from the Throw-In, visit the show page at: www.independent.ie/podcasts/the-throw-in/ The Throw-In’s All Ireland Championship series is in association with Bord Gáis Energy.

The inter-county hurlers finally to get back out onto the field of battle this weekend as the delayed and truncated All Ireland Championship for 2020 finally gets underway. It’s a return to the old ways of course with just straight knock-out ties deciding the match winners and on this Hurling Championship preview, Will Slattery and Michael Verney give the run down on the likely winners and losers. Unusually, All Ireland champions, Tipperary, are not the favourites, and are instead behind Limerick in the odds but, Michael Verney believes that with Mike Casey now ruled out action for Limerick, that the pendulum has swung back in Tipperary’s favour. “In the Irish Independent magazine last Saturday nobody tipped Tipp to win the All Ireland which is unbelievable in itself, including myself, now my opinion might have changed a small bit when I saw Mike Casey is out and they have basically two of their full back players, Mike Casey and Richie English, both out, whereas Tipperary I think have a clean bill of health coming into this year's Championship.” It could be Tipperary’s title in the craziest of years says Verney.

This weekend all sporting eyes were on Avantcard Pairc Sean McDiarmada for the first National Football League game above the bottom division for 13 years. Cork were the visitors and we were there. We're also checking in on preseason plans with both Sligo Rovers and Longford Town. Leitrim gave a solid account of themselves against Tier 1 opposition in the form of Cork, who just last year qualified for the Super 8's in the All Ireland Championships. Despite a battling performance, it wasn't meant to be for the home side as the rebels ran out winners on a scoreline of 1-15 to 0-9. We catch up with Terry Hyland and our man of the match, goalkeeper Diarmuid McKiernan, after the game for their thoughts on how the 70 minutes went for Leitrim. After a quick fire early double from Aaron Hickey and Robbie Cunningham, Manor Rangers pulled off a remarkable comeback against fellow title challengers Cartron United when they found themselves 3-2 down in their game. Two goals from Alan Hickey and a last minute winner from Shane Walsh saw them claim the 5-3 victory. We also cast our eyes over the pre season preparations of both Sligo Rovers and Longford Town who both won their friendlies against Athlone and Finn Harps respectively over the weekend. I spoke to Leitrim's Niall Morahan and his assistant manager John Russell about the Bit O'Red's preparations for the new season while new Town manager Daire Doyle and skipper Dean Zambra run the rule over their season and the messy situation with the league structure and fixtures just weeks from the start of the competition.

Last night Pete and got to interview Donal Oniell from Cereal Killers movie fame. We loved both movies and CK2 'Run on Fat' makes it pretty damn clear what we have not only been talking about but living it for so long now. "The science is coming" but the athletes that are open and willing will be the ones reaping the rewards. I'm stoked we got to record this interview and help push this message out to the world for athletes and non athletes alike. Performance is important ... but not as important as your health. Why not attain both? In Today’s Episode We Cover: Overweight Endurance athletes. The Science is Coming. Ketones. Breaking records. The NEED for this mineral.

Show Links: Cereal Killers 2 - Run on Fat Cereal Killers 2 Run on Fat charts world class triathlete Sami Inkinen’s transition from pre-diabetic sugar burner to a faster, healthier, fat fueled endurance athlete under the guidance of New York Times bestselling author Dr Stephen Phinney. When Sami embarks on an epic anti sugar crusade with his wife Meredith – rowing 4,000 kms unsupported from California to Hawaii – their remarkable journey reveals the astonishing performance benefits and pitfalls of successful fat fueling strategies for athletic performance. As more and more evidence emerges of world class athletes adopting a similar protocol – with remarkable results in some cases – “Run on Fat” challenges the very foundations of sports nutrition.   Cereal Killers 1 Cereal Killers The film follows Donal – a lean, fit, seemingly healthy 41 year old man – on a quest to hack his genes and drop dead healthy by avoiding the heart disease and diabetes that has afflicted his family. Donal’s father Kevin, an Irish gaelic football star from the 1960s, won the first of 2 All Ireland Championships with the Down Senior Football Team in 1960 before the biggest crowd (94,000) ever seen at an Irish sporting event.
