Podcasts about hurlers

Last Saturday is a day that will be remembered in Galway GAA for a long time following the success of the Galway U15 and U16 Hurling teams in All-Ireland Finals.  The U15 team won the Arrabawn A Cup beating Tipperary by 4-12 to 3-8 and the U16 team followed suit with a 2-17 to 0-12 win over Tipperary in their final. Managers of the U15's Aidan Ryan and U16's Shane Cusack spoke to John Mulligan about their teams' successes.

The top dogs all showed their class in the opening round of the Cork club hurling championship, highlighted by the fact St Finbarr's were always in control against Douglas despite missing Brian Hayes, who picked up an injury on football duty.Ethan Twomey offered a reminder of his quality, as a playmaking centre-back rather than his customary midfield role, and William Buckley, on the fringes of the Cork team recently, clipped seven points.The Roche twins were immense for Bride Rovers in gaining a modicum of revenge against Blarney who beat them in the last two Senior A Championship meetings, the 2023 encounter after a controversial replay. Eoin Roche limited the influence of Cork vice-captain Shane Barrett while Brian sniped 0-7 from the half-forward line.The Glen had Micheál Mullins in championship action for the first time and with Patrick Horgan, Eoin and Rob Downey all eager to push on with the club after Cork's defeat, Erin's Own couldn't match them.In Senior A, Seán Desmond once again caught they eye as Watergrasshill beat Courcey Rovers in their first game at the grade while Killeagh edge out Na Piarsaigh in a classic where Cork U20s Barry and Ben Walsh and Ross O'Sullivan were the fore and Daire Connery was excellent too.Cloyne managed a Premier Intermediate upset by taking down favourites Carrigaline and Ballinhassig were clinical to beat Ballincollig, but overall the favourites won the majority of the games.We pick a Hurler of the Weekend, with Daire Connery, Darragh O'Sullivan and a clutch of Bride Rovers players at the forefront of the conversation.Looking ahead to next weekend, the podcast crew preview the divisional section finals and discuss if Cork can make it three-in-a-row against Galway in the All-Ireland camogie final.Now in its third season, every week Éamonn Murphy will be joined by The Echo team including Barry O'Mahony, Denis Hurley, Rory Noonan, Jack McKay, John Horgan and more to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field.You can listen to the Echo Sport Podcast every week wherever you get your podcasts or on www.echolive.ie/podcast.

The Cork club championships are back, which offers some respite from the fallout since the hurlers' calamitous second-half collapse to Tipperary.As if the pain of that defeat at Croke Park wasn't enough for Rebels, the aftermath saw a series of WhatsApp messages circulate claiming to explain the performance away through a bust-up between the players.Everyone seemed to overlook the fact Cork were six points up against Tipp at the break. And that any county team that makes it to consecutive All-Ireland finals has to be united.On this week's podcast, we talk about the damage done by the rumours and look at how the hurlers who featured in club football action fared, including Brian Hayes and Damien Cahalane.We review all the weekend football action, from Premier Senior, where Ballincollig, Mallow and Clon missed out on opportunities to upset the big three of Nemo, Castlehaven and the Barrs, all the way down to Premier Junior, where Canovee lived up to their billing of favourites.Plus a shoutout to Cork All-Ireland winners Donncha O'Connor and Pearse O'Neill, still delivering for Ballydesmond and Aghada in their mid-40s.There's a preview of all the club hurling action which throws in this Thursday with the Premier Intermediate Hurling clash of Castlemartyr and Kilworth. They're in a ferocious group with Ballinhassig and Ballincollig but there are cracking clashes across all the grades.The spotlight will be on the Glen Rovers in the top tier as they return to the mix for the Seán Óg Murphy Cup with Mícheál Mullins added to the squad. Sars are the form team on the basis of the league while Imokilly are the holders.Then you've St Finbarr's, Midleton and more.At Senior A, Blarney and Bride Rovers renew their modern rivalry in another competition where it's very hard to pick a victor.Now in its third season, every week Éamonn Murphy will be joined by The Echo team including Barry O'Mahony, Denis Hurley, Rory Noonan, Jack McKay, John Horgan and more to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field.You can listen to the Echo Sport Podcast every week wherever you get your podcasts or on www.echolive.ie/podcast.

Paul speaks to Cork hurling fans on the controversy surrounding the decision to cancel the Cork team's homecoming following their loss to Tipperary in the All Ireland Senior Hurling Final on Sunday. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We thought it couldn't get any worse than the 2021 hammering at the hands of Limerick but Cork's second-half meltdown against Tipp will leave lasting scars on the Rebel faithful.It was Cork's fifth defeat on the biggest day of the season at Croke Park since their last victory and by far the most devastating. Despite a six-point half-time advantage, Cork wilted in the face of serious Tipp heat, the pressure of ending a long wait without Liam MacCarthy no doubt playing a major part in the implosion.We look at the issues surrounding the All-Ireland that contributed to the team's failure to perform.Why were they not better prepared to cope with a sweeper when it was well flagged up in advance that Liam Cahill could throw a tactical curveball to cut out the goal threat?Did Pat Ryan and his selectors make the right calls on the line, especially when Eoin Downey picked up a yellow card coming up to the break and was subsequently sent off?Is there a mental weakness there that means Cork can't deliver when they're heavy favourites? After all their statement wins over Limerick in the Munster final and in 2024 were when they were underdogs?The Echo Podcast also discuss Pat Ryan's future, now his three-year term is officially over. They examine any potential changes to the panel and team, including the status of veterans Patrick Horgan, Seamus Harnedy, Conor Lehane and Damien Cahalane.Which young hurlers are best placed to push into the team for 2026? William Buckley, Darragh O'Sullivan, Micheál Mullins and Jack Leahy are among the rookies with great potential.Clare and Tipp have both landed two All-Irelands apiece since they last lifted the Munster trophy, which takes the shine off the victory in the Gaelic Grounds back in June. But a bit of perspective is needed.Now in its third season, every week Éamonn Murphy will be joined by The Echo team including Barry O'Mahony, Denis Hurley, Rory Noonan, Jack McKay, John Horgan and more to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field.You can listen to the Echo Sport Podcast every week wherever you get your podcasts or on www.echolive.ie/podcast Hosted on Acast.

The pressure on the Cork hurlers certainly isn't letting up after the dominant force of the modern game was sent crashing out against Dublin. In one of the biggest shocks in the history of hurling, the third-place team in Leinster, 12-1 complete outsiders with the bookies, beat Limerick and did so despite getting a red card after 15 minutes. The stunning reversal means Cork now take on the Dubs on July 5 in the All-Ireland semi-final instead of Tipp, with the expectation now they'll go all the way and finally regain Liam MacCarthy. The podcast crew break down Dublin's victory and discuss how Cork can keep focused for the trip to Croke Park on Saturday week. Tipp take on Kilkenny in the other semi and you can be sure both of those counties are just as thrilled Limerick have been taken out early. On the football front, there's a reflection on the footballers' very strong showing against Dessie Farrell's Dublin that didn't yield the reward it deserved. It was a familiar sceál for the Cork football faithful, a good game against an All-Ireland contender but not a knockout victory. John Cleary's term is now officially ended but he wouldn't say after the loss in Croker if he'd be seeking another season in 2026. There is a shortage of viable replacements but Cleary might not want another year dealing with the stress and expectation on Leeside. There were highs and lows across the past four seasons and a mixed championship record which featured a few very close calls against the bigger guns, especially Kerry. Plus the Echo team pick out the winners and losers after the final round of the Cork football leagues, albeit with Clon v Castlehaven on hold to decide the Division 1 finalists. Walkovers were a disappointing aspect to the concluding weekend, with another round of hurling to go as well. Now in its third season, every week Éamonn Murphy will be joined by The Echo team including Barry O'Mahony, Denis Hurley, Rory Noonan, John Horgan and more to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Cork footballers saved their season with a gritty performance in Portlaoise to beat Roscommon over the weekend but their reward is a very tough preliminary quarter-final against Dublin.While Meath and Armagh have beaten the Boys in Blue already this summer, John Cleary's charges will need to produce a season-best to progress to the last eight.We reflect on the victory over the Rossies which was spearheaded by Colm O'Callaghan, Ian Maguire, Mark Cronin and Seán McDonnell, who kicked 0-4 in a tight game. Keeper Micheál Aodh Martin came up with some big plays as well, saving a goal chance at a critical stage and pushing out a dangerous dropping ball for a 45 in the dying minutes.It was heart-stopping stuff, with Roscommon hunting a two-pointer to knock Cork out as time elapsed as Brian O'Driscoll, Seán Brady and Daniel O'Mahony defended brilliantly.What can they improve on for their Croke Park trip though?Plus we reflect on a disappointing All-Ireland minor hurling semi-final exit for Cork against Clare.Fergal McCormack's side had beaten the Banner en route to a Munster title but a four-week break since that provincial success might have been an issue with Clare far sharper throughout. More tellingly, the underdogs showed greater hunger and work-rate around the middle third.Cork were expected to reach what would only have been the county's third All-Ireland final appearance at the grade in the modern era, with the Rebels winning the title in 2021 and losing the 2017 decider to Galway.Still, there were some excellent performers in red over the course of their six matches and we pick out the young players to watch out for in the coming seasons.Plus there's a look at the local action as the club hurling leagues head towards their conclusion.Now in its third season, every week Éamonn Murphy will be joined by The Echo team including Barry O'Mahony, Denis Hurley, Rory Noonan, John Horgan and more to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field.You can listen to the Echo Sport Podcast every week wherever you get your podcasts or on www.echolive.ie/podcast Hosted on Acast.

ON THIS week's podcast, we have hurling fever as Cork were crowned Munster SHC winners for the first time since 2018.Pat Ryan's side beat Limerick 1-30 to 2-27 after extra-time (3-2 on penalties) to get the win over their big rivals.We discuss the significance of the win, timekeeping, penalty shoot-outs, the split-season and what is potentially there for this Cork group.Also on the show, we discuss the Cork footballers' crunch tie with Roscommon.John Cleary's side have to win this Saturday in Laois Hire O'Moore Park, Portlaoise (4.15pm), having lost their opening two games to Meath and Kerry.We discuss Beara footballers dropping out of the college/divisional county championship in the past week too.What does this mean for the divisional competition and the Beara division?All this and more on this week's Star Sport Podcast.

No one gave them much of a chance beforehand but Cork defied the odds and completed a stunning turnaround from a 16-point beating 20 days earlier to land the Munster title. The majority of Rebels were travelling to Shannonside more in hope than expectation but Pat Ryan had promised his side would make it worth their while with a battling performance and that carried them all the way to a first provincial crown since 2018. We look back on the game itself and the memorable occasion at TUS Gaelic Grounds where both sets of supporters and a ferocious contest led to an electric atmosphere. It was a rollercoaster of emotion across the near 100-minute war before penalties decided it. Limerick had no shortage of regrets, which sums up what an incredible team they've been, going for seven in a row and still leaving everything on the field. Cork hurled outstandingly well in normal time where their sloppy shooting meant it finished level. Then Limerick missed more chances before a Darragh Fitzgibbon deep into added time forced a shootout. We break down the key areas where Cork turned the tide from their humiliating loss in the group game. Subs made a critical impact, with Conor Lehane and Shane Kingston deservedly taking all the plaudits. Limerick haven't gone away of course. They'll be raging favourites to bounce back and beat Dublin or Kildare, and then Kilkenny, to reach the All-Ireland final. Cork have to look after their own house with a month-gap before their semi-final in Croke, most likely against a Tipperary side who feel they owe their rivals. For now, we can enjoy the beautiful feeling of being Munster champs. We also preview Cork's knockout football clash with Roscommon, a 50-50 match where John Cleary's side will be hoping to bring the form they showed against Kerry, rather than in a loss to Meath. Plus a round-up of the club football action and the minors' All-Ireland semi-final exit at the hands of Tyrone. Now in its third season, every week Éamonn Murphy will be joined by The Echo team including Barry O'Mahony, Denis Hurley, Rory Noonan, John Horgan and more to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field.

Cork are through to their first Munster final since 2018 after bouncing back from the Limerick hammering by beating Waterford on Sunday.It was a patchy performance overall where they impressed more in the first half against the wind than they did with the gale to their backs. Pat Ryan's side won by six points but had 10 more wides than the Déise, so there can no debate about the result, but it certainly wasn't a vintage display.In the great scheme of things, it won't really matter, especially with Limerick coming down the tracks again. What can we take from the performance at a packed Páirc?Ger Millerick's finger injury is a concern as he had superbly slotted in for Niall O'Leary. Diarmuid Healy showed well off the bench though, with Darragh Fitzgibbon and Shane Barrett more impressive when restored to their 2024 positions.Cork will need everyone firing for the Treaty but had the luxury of changing half their line-up for the dead rubber group game with Clare.On the football front, Cork were beaten in a vital All-Ireland group game in Navan. Meath were the better team throughout and only their poor finishing kept John Cleary's side in contention.Do the Rebels now have any chance when they host Kerry on Saturday?They might have left the win behind them in the Munster semi-final but that only means Jack O'Connor will have his side fully focused.Brian Hurley missed the Meath loss through injury but clearly there are deeper issues. With three teams making it out of the round-robin phase, Cork are still in the mix but the omens aren't positive right now.Plus there's a look at the minor footballers' loss in the provincial final in Tralee. Keith Ricken's young guns still have an All-Ireland quarter-final on the horizon but will be underdogs.Now in its third season, every week Éamonn Murphy will be joined by The Echo team including Barry O'Mahony, Denis Hurley, Rory Noonan, John Horgan and more to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field.You can listen to the Echo Sport Podcast every week wherever you get your podcasts or on www.echolive.ie/podcast Hosted on Acast.

The Cork hurlers suffered one of their worst defeats of the modern era at the hands of Limerick on Sunday.Their display at TUS Gaelic Grounds was miles off the required level in the Munster Championship, especially when John Kiely's side were always going to be wired to the moon against the team that ended their five-in-a-row bid.There were very few positives, if any, given Cork lost by a staggering 16 points, coughing up three goals and being outclassed in every line of the field. Now, they can still make the Munster final if they get the better of Waterford at home next Sunday, which you'd have taken at the outset of the campaign.The manner of the loss though leaves them in a very vulnerable position for the visit of the Déise and going forward...Declan Dalton, Rob Downey and Niall O'Leary are injury doubts and we reveal who we would bring into the starting 15 to replace them.Were Cork complacent after landing the league and blitzing Tipp? Did the three-week break have an impact? Or was it just a bad day they can recover from? We certainly hope so.The Cork footballers head to Navan on Saturday afternoon in the opening All-Ireland football series group game. Meath were devastated to be beaten by Louth in the Leinster final, especially when they'd take down Dublin, and will have no fear of the Rebels.They've Kerry at home the following weekend and then face Roscommon in a neutral venue, so getting a victory against Meath is hugely important.On the camogie front, the vote on skorts or skirts takes place this Thursday, while divisional teams have been given a reprieve to feature in the Cork senior camogie championship again this season.We also look ahead to the Cork-Kerry minor final in football and reflect on the minor hurlers' provincial success.Now in its third season, every week Éamonn Murphy will be joined by The Echo team including Barry O'Mahony, Denis Hurley, Rory Noonan, John Horgan and more to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field.You can listen to the Echo Sport Podcast every week wherever you get your podcasts or on www.echolive.ie/podcast Hosted on Acast.

Cork, league champions again at last. It's not the big prize we all crave so badly but Pat Ryan's side bridged the gap to 1998 in style over the weekend.All the pressure was on the Cork hurlers in the final at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh and they rose to the occasion, delivering a first-half display on par with their efforts against Limerick last May. This time there was no dramatic fightback, with the Rebels comfortable winners.There was a cracking atmosphere as Cork stitched three goals in the second quarter though the second half was a strange affair, with the Rebels making a host of mistakes. Clare will have watched on with interest, particularly how Ronan Maher shielded his full-back line by dropping in front of the D.The major question now is if Cork will carry their momentum and form into the summer, starting with that trip to Ennis on Easter Sunday. They blitzed the Banner for six goals in the league but as we all well know, championship is a very different animal.The interest in the team is incredible with tickets for the provincial action being snapped up during the week. The scene is set for a thrilling Munster campaign.On the football front, the Cork seniors and U20s had solid victories in the last week, but both now face very difficult games against Kerry.Ray O'Mahony's charges are in Tralee on Monday night, curtailed by injuries to key forwards Dara Sheedy and Ed Myers. The seniors host Kerry on Easter Saturday in a straight knockout Munster semi. Did they show anything up in Limerick to suggest they could knock the league champions out of their stride?Now in its third season, every week Éamonn Murphy will be joined by The Echo team including Barry O'Mahony, Denis Hurley, Rory Noonan, John Horgan and more to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field.You can listen to the Echo Sport Podcast every week wherever you get your podcasts or on www.echolive.ie/podcast Hosted on Acast.

KK Senior Hurlers Paddy Deegan and Richie Reid speak to CRKC at the 2025 Tirlan Sponsorship Launch 31.03.2025

Listen back to Tipperary's win over Cork in the 2025 Munster Under 20 hurling championship round robin. The game was played in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Wednesday April 2dn, 2025 where Tipperary were victorious on a final score line of 1-20 to 2-11. On commentary duty for Tipp FM was Paul Carroll & Seán O'Donoghue and the coverage came in association with Nenagh College. Photo credit: Sportsfocus.ie.

Cork delivered across the board over the weekend, the hurlers brushed Galway aside, the footballers took down Cavan to protect their position in the All-Ireland series and the camogie and ladies footballers moved into the league final with a game to spare. For the hurling faithful, it was another excellent performance, Pat Ryan's side building up a head of steam but the knee injury that forced Brian Hayes off was a major downside. Next up is a league final against an equally in-form Tipp and while it's 'only the league', Cork badly need a trophy. Cork are being hyped up nationally now as the team to beat but they well know that Clare, Limerick and more are waiting in the long grass with little interest in how the league panned out. For John Cleary's footballers, they've ended the league after a couple of very good showings but again just outside the promotion places. It's only two weeks until championship throws in, against a Limerick team they'll be expected to beat but had a good league themselves. Unfortunately, away from the playing fields, a darkness has been cast by a host of tragic deaths, including the passing of Midleton and Cork All-Ireland winning forward Ger Fitzgerald after illness and the sudden loss of 18-year-old tyro from Kilbrittain and Hamilton High School Oisín Gillain. Like Sars' Ray Ryan and Midleton U21 county winner Darragh McCarthy, they'll be hugely missed by family, friends, club members and the wider Cork GAA community.

Barry Gallagher reports from Ennis in Co. Clare where the All-Ireland Senior Hurling champions were welcomed home last night.

Liam McCarthy has been welcomed into the county for just the fifth time in our history, and for the first time since 2013. Massive crowds turned out in both Wolfe Tones GAA club in Shannon and in Clarecastle to welcome Brian Lohan and his men home after that incredible win over Cork. At the Fairgreen in Ennis, there was a record breaking crowd to welcome the lads home, as Clare FM's Derrick Lynch reports.

Our Gaelic Games Correspondent Marty Morrissey is with the triumphant Clare team as they make their way home and we also hear from former Clare manager Tony Considine.

Clare are All Ireland Hurling Champions for 2024 and Christy Moore rewrote one of his most famous hits to mark the historic occasion.

As weekends go, this one was quite remarkable. The Clare hurlers have joined the ranks of their predecessors from 1914, 1932, 1995, 1997, 2002, and 2013 by advancing to the All-Ireland hurling final. To discuss the match, Peter O'Connell was joined by Clare FM's Sports Editor Derrick Lynch and Mayor of Clare, Alan O'Callaghan, on Monday's Morning Focus.

Enda McGinley and The Sunday Times' Michael Foley join Jacqui Hurley and Rory O'Neill to preview the weekend's football including Derry v Armagh, Roscommon v Mayo and Cork v Donegal, as well as discussing the upcoming U20 Hurling final between Offaly and Tipperary.

It's hoped the Clare minor hurlers can harness the momentum of their senior counterparts in their crucial All-Ireland Quarter-Final clash this weekend. Clare and Wexford will clash in Semple Stadium Thurles on Monday as part of a double bill with Galway and Dublin taking to the field in the other last eight tie.
