Robbie Foley won his last senior hurling championship with Naomh Eoin in 2005. If someone had told him then that the Myshall club would not win another title in the following 17 years, Robbie would surely have thought they were fantasising. Yet the balance of power changed and Robbie looks at this while reflecting on his Christy Ring Cup successes while he explains why he supported Mount Leinster Rangers when they played Oulart-the-Ballagh in the Leinster senior club final.He is adamant that the balance of power will change eventually and he looks forward to when that happens. Robbie is also the nephew of the great Tom Foley who trained Cheltenham winner, Danoli, and has a keen interest in horses himself.

Welcome along to what is the penultimate episode of our first ever series. Today I'm going to be chatting with a man who had an incredible knack for scoring goals. He featured on some of the top sides that have played the game at school level in Presentation De La Salle College. He played in an All Ireland club Final in Croke Park. He also has two Christy Ring Cup medals. His journey wasn't without adversity and we talk about the underage days when county hurling seemed like a dream rather than destiny. And we find out how it eventually became a reality. Today's guest is Craig 'Styler' Doyle of Bagenalstown Gaels.

PODCAST "We needed to be a lot better than we were, we needed to be a lot more clinical in front of goals if we were going to give ourselves any chance of competing and that’s probably the department that let us down most today.” Meath manager Andy mcEntee was hugely disappointed following Sunday's Leinster SFC final drubbing by Dublin, but it shouldn't be all doom and gloom for the Royals as they produced a decent opening half and should a defensive resolve for close to an hiour against the greatest team ever to play the game before being eventually overwhelmed. The players put in a monumental shift, worked hard with little reward and apart from being blown out of the water in the final 15 minutes they didn't look out of place against the five-in-a-row chasing All-Ireland champions. On this week's Talk A Good Game we hear Andy McEntee's views on the game when he spoke to the assembled media afterwards, while reporter Jimmy Geoghegan also caught up with Graham Reilly and Ben Brennan. As Meat Loaf used to proclaim 'two out of three ain't bad' and despite the disappointment of the senior final there was joy in Croke Park for the Meath hurlers who claimed the Christy Ring Cup following a thriller against Down and the junior footballers who survived a late rally from Kildare to lift the Leinster JFC title. On this week's show we have exclusive chats with manager Nick Fitzgerald and players Adam Gannon and Sean Geraghty following the Ring Cup success. Also this week we look ahead to the start of the senior hurling championship, the Ladies Leinster IFC final and generally reflect on what was a bitter sweet weekend for Meath sports fans. So sit back, turn on and tune in to this week's edition of Talk A Good Game right here.
Only one place to start on this week's Talk A Good Game podcast as Meath booked their place in the Leinster SFC final for the first time since 2014 with a resounding 3-13 to 0-11 semi-final win over Laois at Croke Park last Sunday. After Sunday's match Meath boss Andy McEntee spoke to the assembled media, while Fergal Lynch caught up with Ronan Ryan and Jimmy Geoghegan spoke to Bryan McMahon deep in the belly of the Cusack Stand. Meath will now face Dublin in the provincial decider on what will be a busy weekend for the county in Croke Park. On Saturday 22nd June Meath will take on Down in the Christy Ring Cup and after last Saturday's semi-final victory over Derry Jimmy Geoghegan caught up with the Royals boss Nick Fitzgerald who was delighted to savour the moment with his son Evan and the rest of his players. Also on this week's show Conall Collier spoke to Davy Nelson as the Meath juniors earned their place in the Leinster JFC final against Kildare and he is now looking forward to a return to Croke Park on Sunday 23rd June. It all adds up to another jam-packed Talk A Good Game podcast and it's available here.
"No disrespect to the two teams we have beaten, but they are probably the poorest London team that I've seen and definitely the poorest Kildare team that I've seen." Meath hurling manager Nick Fitzgerald wasn't getting carried away with his side's Christy Ring Cup hammering of Kildare and he is hoping his players can push on and win the competition. Also on this week's show Fergal Lynch and Jimmy Geoghegan reflect on the minor hurlers win over Antrim, while also looking ahead to Saturday evening's Leinster SFC quarter-final between Meath and Carlow in Portlaoise. As the A FLs reach their concluding stages Fergal and Jimmy also assess the main runners and riders still in contention for honours and also who the likely fallers will be.
