Podcasts about Hurling

Hurling Chat, Galway Bay Fm's weekly Hurling Podcast, concentrates on the Quarter Finals of the Senior and Intermediate Hurling Championships. Cyril Farrell and Joe Hession look forward to what should be a great weekend's hurling and chat about: The Senior quarters - Can Loughrea continue the 3 in a row drive or are Athenry primed for an upset? Clarinbridge, Tommie Larkins and Sarsfields will aim to keep their unbeaten records in the championship alive....... In the Premier Intermediate quarters, can Meelick Eyrecourt drive on for Silverware again? Will Group toppers Tynagh Abbey Duniry, Skehana Mountbellew Moylough and Ballinderreen rise to the challenge........ AND  In perhaps the biggest games of the weekend, will Cappataggle or Moycullen hold onto their Senior status and can Beagh or Pearses avoid the drop to Junior A in the relegation Finals?

The Echo Podcast crew review the quarter-final and relegation playoff weekend in the Cork GAA club hurling championships.Once again, Kanturk were the talk of Leeside as they followed up their resounding victory over Blackrock by knocking out modern powerhouse Sars. The champions hadn't hit full tilt, having lost to Charleville in the group stages, but were still favourites but the Duhallow side's haul of four goals proved decisive.Brian O'Sullivan's reputation continues to grow given his clinical shooting while Kanturk had two different goalscorers, including Cork newcomer Alan Walsh.Charleville couldn't match their exploits against Glen Rovers, but the quad injury that meant Darragh Fitzgibbon wasn't fit to start was a major setback. Patrick Horgan and Simon Kennefick raised green flags and the Glen now take on top seeds Midleton, with Kanturk v St Finbarr's in the other semi.The Barrs are building momentum slowly though Imokilly, without Duds Healy and Jack Leahy, didn't have the tools to upset the odds in that quarter-final.There were some superb games around the county, with extra time needed in Watergrasshill's victory over Ballinhassig at Senior A while it took penalties to separate Carrigtwohill from Na Piarsaigh.Dungourney's victory over Aghabullogue was an extra-time epic too, but the other PIHC quarter-final saw the performance of the weekend, as Carrigaline absolutely demolished Cloyne. Carrigaline were heading out late on in their second group game but they're absolutely lifting now.As well as the hurling analysis, there's also a look ahead at the big football games on the horizon.TUNE IN Now in its fourth season, every Monday, Éamonn Murphy is 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.

There was very little that wasn't discussed on this weeks podcast! MLR pipped Fenagh to survive at the Senior grade for 2027. It was full of talking points. Clonmore survived at Intermediate against Ballinabranna in a game that was a little less dramatic.In the Quarter finals it was Palatine and Old Leighlin who progressed to the Senior semis. Pal will play Rathvilly and Old Leiglhin will face Eire Og. The Intermediate Semis will see K/C take on Tinryland with Ballon facing St Patricks. At Junior A it will be Leighlinbridge v Palatine and O'Hanarahans v Naomh Eoin. Full fixture details for all grades are on Carlow GAA socials.We discussed the Integration fiasco from the past week. The news that the Carlow SHC Final will be under lights. Setanta are to play their first Hurling final on a Thursday night this news has also raised eyebrows.

Welcome to our Sounds of the Summer podcast, a look back, and look forward, to some of the biggest GAA stories which dominated 2026.Willie Maher, the GAA's National Head of Hurling, joins Eoin Sheahan in studio for a wide-ranging chat on the state of the game, the new rules, and what hurling needs next.With the league finals and championship around the corner, Maher breaks down the updated dissent measures – 30 metres for players, a 21-yard free for sideline altercations – and why “tidying up” the game matters for respect and referee recruitment.They also go deep on the bigger challenge: growing hurling in non-traditional counties, getting hurleys in kids' hands, building coaching and games programmes, and what the new government funding is really designed to do.Become a member and sign up at offtheball.com/join

Welcome to our Sounds of the Summer podcast, a look back, and look forward, to some of the biggest GAA stories which dominated 2026.Former Cork hurling boss Pat Ryan sits down with Eoin Sheahan for this episode, reflecting on life after the hot seat and what it's like going back to matches as a supporter.They chat about the condensed season, the madness of Munster hurling, and why “momentum games” can define a campaign.Ryan also goes deep on the mental side of the modern player: temperament, resilience, and how teams recover from bad days in a championship that can turn in a week.Plus, his hurling wish-list: a four-point goal, bringing back more visible contest, changes to puckouts, and his views on the black card and penalties.Become a member and sign up at offtheball.com/join

Terence McNaughton joined Off The Ball Breakfast back in February to give a brutally honest assessment of where Antrim hurling is at under Davy Fitzgerald, after a worrying run of league form and that loss to Kildare.He breaks down why the current system isn't suiting the players, the confidence issue in the group, and how key losses like Neil McManus and Conor McCann have changed what Antrim need to be.And it goes beyond the senior team: McNaughton lays out what he sees as the real problem in Belfast and Ulster hurling, from schools links to structures, funding, and why “throwing good money after bad” won't fix foundations.Become a member and sign up at offtheball.com/join
