Right before Dan goes to Qatar and Johnny loses another laptop we've gathered for the last dance. Regular sideman, Pat Fenlon is joined in studio by the man who once saved his job! Yes, none other than Eoin Doyle, who missed the Mendoza Line by half a goal this season but will be fresher next season after dragging his heart around St Anne's Park in the off season trying to remember who Stevie Nicks is. Alan Reynolds is f*cking live from Derry where low key celebrations and pre season planning is well under way following the minor distraction of a game last weekend. The victorious assistant joins us to discuss Lansdowne demons, big life decisions and his inability to get through a sentence without cursing. As 40 year old Johnny prepares for his one man crusade against Galway Utd next season, Dan has an insight on how to wear flares, the mailbag has the LOI Central drinking game (had to happen), and the lads in studio cast their thoughts forward to next season. All of this is subject to the continued and rather frivolous use of a marketing budget by Future Ticketing, Collar & Cuff, Porterhouse Brew and Malone Financial Services. They think it's all over.....
A big occasion for female sport in Laois this weekend lends itself to a special episode of the LaoisToday Talking Sport Podcast. The Portlaoise AFC U-14 girls soccer team are in the national FAI Cup final this coming Sunday. It's an historic occasion as it's the first time a team from the club will play in a national final. Indeed it's the first time in 20 years that a team from the Midlands league has reached a national final. Even more impressive is that it comes less than seven years after Portlaoise AFC fielded a girls team for the first time ever. Getting to this final is no mean achievement given that hundreds of clubs at the start of the competition has now been whittled down to just two. After beating Shelbourne in the semi-final, Portlaoise now play Greystones in the final this Sunday in the AUL Complex in Dublin. And ahead of that game, Shane Keegan, Portlaoise's first team coach and a former manager at Wexford Youths, Galway Utd and Dundalk, sat down with Portlaoise U-14 manager Dave McCall.
