Podcasts about hurlers

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.

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.

* Hurlers v Kildare * Camogs v Derry * LGFA v Kerry * Meath v Louth * Minor Camogs/Hurlers * u20's & Minors out this week

The Echo Sport Podcast takes in all the latest GAA action. This week we discuss the state of Cork football.Barry O'Mahony analyses a strong performance at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh against the Louth team that knocked them out of last year's All-Ireland series. Mark Cronin and Chris Óg Jones led the line with aplomb while Colm O'Callaghan grabbed the critical goal.It was a welcome reprieve for John Cleary's side who gave themselves a good chance of escaping relegation and if they beat Cavan away they'll secure a top-four finish and avoid a possible Tailteann Cup appearance.However, the state of Cork football is still a major concern for all Rebels. The U20s taking a heavy beating, albeit in a challenge, from Louth didn't help, especially as underage results in recent years have been a disappointment outside of Munster minor titles in '21 and '22. Where can improvements be made? The geographical spread of Cork football strongholds and the hurling preference in many areas certainly aren't helping... Hosted on Acast.

The Echo Sport Podcast takes in all the latest GAA action. This week we break down the Rebel rout of All-Ireland champions Clare on Sunday afternoon. Pat Ryan's side up to target the inside line and the reward was six goals, with Cork finally converting the chances they've been creating throughout the league.Brian Hayes was the official TG4 Man of the Match but Declan Dalton was also unstoppable and Shane Barrett showed his best All-Star form. However, was it a case of going too well, too soon? Did the Rebels show too much? The weather and the crowd made it feel like championship but Clare now know exactly what to expect on Easter Sunday in the Munster Championship opener.The other major talking point from the game, and across the hurling weekend, was the flurry of red cards shown. On the local front, Fr O'Neills had a fine win in Division 1 over champions Sars while Charleville impressed against Blackrock.William Buckley was electric as St Finbarr's defeated Glen Rovers and Colin Walsh excelled for Kanturk in their loss to Douglas, while in Division 2, Daire Connery and Kevin Moynihan were superb for Na Piarsaigh in their draw with BallincolligYou can listen to the Echo Sport Podcast every week wherever you get your podcasts or on www.echolive.ie/podcast Hosted on Acast.

After Cavan beat Wicklow in the League we hear from Tom Mannion. The county minors start their league and Bailieborough CS are ready for their All-Ireland final. Paul and Damien discuss the FRC changes and the structure of the club calander.

Over the past couple of weeks we sat down with Conor 'Horse' Lawlor at the Talbot Hotel in Carlow.Conor gave great service to Carlow at Senior level be it with the Hurlers or Footballers and at one point both.He was the scorer of one of the most famous goals in Carlow GAA history with they saw off Kildare in the Leinster SFC in 2018.He also played a key role in Carlow's Joe McDonagh Cup Final win over Offaly in 2023.Now a Dad to Sam and Husband to Grace, Conor sits down for this fantastic conversation with nothing off limits.He's his own man on the pitch and off it and what you see is what you get.This is Conor Lawlor - a constant in a Carlow Senior Jersey since 2011. ★ Support this podcast ★

The Echo Sport Podcast takes in all the latest GAA action. We discuss the ongoing Cork County Board media ban, which was brought in 13 months ago and prevents reporters from attending monthly delegate meetings. Information about commercial developments is still emerging but some clubs would rather journalists were allowed attend to ensure transparency.There's a massive weekend on the horizon for the Cork hurlers and footballers.John Cleary's side are off to Monaghan in what is a vital game if they're to have a shot at Division 2 promotion, though the hosts will be eager to bounce back from a loss to high-flying Roscommon. It took a Chris Óg Jones hat-trick to snatch a one-point win over Westmeath, which doesn't suggest the Rebels have to tools to make the step up to the top flight.However, are we expecting too much from Cork football?They're effectively a top-12 side on the basis of league and championship results over the past few seasons so why what right do Cork have to get the better of the likes of Westmeath? There's a SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh factor too where games are higher scoring and more open on such an expansive pitch, which other counties love to sample.On the football front, we also discuss the latest U21 action and preview the divisional finals.The hurlers had an extended break since the facile win over Wexford and the battling draw with Limerick and are in Thurles on Saturday night. Tipp lost to Limerick in their last game but do look on a mission to atone for a poor championship last year.UL and DCU denied us an all-Cork Fitzgibbon Cup final, taking out UCC and MTU Cork. UL did have a Cork contingent on their winning team in Jack Leahy, Brian O'Sullivan and Ciarmhac Smyth.

The Echo Sport Podcast takes in all the Bank Holiday weekend GAA action, toplined by the hurlers draw with Limerick and the footballers' trip to Down. 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. Few league games were as hyped beforehand as Saturday night in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh, between the controversy over the lack of TV coverage and talk of a 30,000-plus crowd, which ended up being a still incredible 23,402. The game wasn't as high-scoring as expected but the weather was a factor and it still finished in a whelter of excitement. What did Cork learn? Tim O'Mahony was the standout performer but Ger Millerick, Niall Mellerick and Ciarán Joyce were prominent too. Apart from leaving too much space for Will O'Donoghue's goal, the defence was solid. Darragh Fitzgibbon did damage in the half-forward line but is he a championship option as free-taker? And what about the rest of the forward line, which only hurler in fits and starts.Up in Newry, the footballers were sickened after failing to build on a 10-point lead in their Division 2 defeat against Down. The result means they simply have to beat Westmeath in their next league fixture to stay in the race for an overdue return to Division 1. This week the Echo Podcast crew also discusses the financial issues from the Páirc rebuild that continue to generate unwanted headlines and the Fitzgibbon Cup knockout stages which involve UCC and MTU Cork.

The Echo Sport Podcast is back for a third season to cover every puck of a sliotar and bounce of a football in Cork GAA.The league threw in up in Wexford and the interest in the Cork hurlers is as strong as ever, the electric summer of 2024 still fresh in the memory, though the pain of that All-Ireland final loss to Clare still hasn't abated.The Rebels have been hit and miss in the league in the modern era and haven't lifted the trophy since 1998. Is it important to bridge that gap? Limerick and Clare have secured doubles in recent years.The footballers beat Meath in what was a crunch clash in promotion terms. It ended their awful run of failing to win a first-round Division 2 fixture.There was a winter exodus from the panel which cranked up the pressure on John Cleary and his selectors. With some new faces and embracing the new rules, the Rebels hit 2-19.UCC and MTU Cork are off to impressive starts in the Fitzgibbon Cup. Are either of them in contention to collect the Fitz? Both sides are into the knockout phase with a game to spare with the likes of Ben Cunningham, Brian Keating, Diarmuid Healy and Alan Connolly on song.In the Harty Cup, the AG got to a first semi-final in 29 years, despite having a very young team. It was a remarkable run from the Mon, considering the bulk of their team is underage again next season.On the Corn Uí Mhuirí front, Hamilton High School from Bandon were the last Cork school standing but breaking the Kerry monopoly proved impossible. Críost Rí were the last from Leeside to manage that feat, way back in 2011.You can listen to the Echo Sport Podcast every week wherever you get your podcasts or on www.echolive.ie/podcast/ Hosted on Acast.

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. The Banner have only conceded two goals en-route to this stage of the competition, while raising six green flags of their own in the process. Clare FM Hurling Analyst Derek Dormer is confident Brian O'Connell's charges will have too much for Wexford. 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.

On this week's McEvoy's Supervalu Virginia Podcast we look back on Cavan hurlers win over Leitrim and hear from Captain Canice Magher on the dissapointment of coming up short. We also hear from Cavan minor manager Seanie Smith after they beat Wicklow in their opening game of the Tier 2 All-Ireland series.
