Podcast appearances and mentions of John Cleary

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.

It's back to the scene of the crime on Saturday, when the Cork hurlers must face Limerick in their first Munster final since 2018.Pat Ryan's side were torn apart in the meeting last month when sweet revenge was exacted for last summer to the tune of 16 points. Cork will hardly be as bad again while Limerick were so tuned in across the first half they fired 2-18 from their 25 first-half shots.We discuss where Cork can improve as they bid to end the Treaty's provincial dominance, raging favourites for a seventh title in succession. Will the restoration of Darragh Fitzgibbon to midfield and Shane Barrett to centre-forward make a difference? Or could they shake it up by using Seamus Harnedy or Tim O'Mahony on Kyle Hayes?Can Ciarán Joyce fare better on Cian Lynch than he did three weeks ago? Or would a fully-fit Rob Downey be given the job?What match-ups will go for across the full-back line? Seán O'Donoghue is surely needed for Aaron Gillane.Injuries will be a major factor too. And Cork are really struggling with a busy casualty ward.Limerick had the luxury of resting their marquee men in the last group game. They outmuscled and outsmarted Cork in the last game and it's going to take absolutely everything going right for Downey to pick up the Mick Mackey Cup.The footballers came up short again in their latest clash with Kerry, the 13th defeat in a row across minor, U20 and senior for the Rebels at the hands of their old foe.John Cleary's side performed very well in the first half but were undone by their missed goal chances and not helped by some awfully fussy refereeing around the kick-out mark. Those calls gifted Kerry six points straight after half-time.All is not lost, Cork can beat Roscommon and finish third in the group and reach a preliminary quarter-final. We also reflect on the controversial situation when Castlehaven were able to utilise Cork players Rory Maguire and Conor Cahalane in a league game six days before the Kerry match.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 are joined by Paul Bouchier, Sarah Hayes and Paddy Lordan to discuss the rise of GAA in Hamilton High School, Bandon.Bouchier managed the U14B hurlers to county glory, Hayes took the U14A footballers to a county title while Lordan managed the school to a Simcox Cup win and a Corn Uí Mhuirí semi-final.It has been a year of glory for the school and the future looks bright too.Also on the show, we discuss the Cork footballers' loss to Meath in the All-Ireland SFC group stage.John Cleary's side have a big task on their hands in overcoming Kerry this Saturday in Supervalu Páirc Uí Choimh (4.45pm).The hurlers are in the Munster SHC final, albeit in unconvincing circumstances while the camogie time are flying after beating Limerick by 38 points in their first championship game of the year.

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.

ON THIS week's podcast, we are look ahead to Cork's All-Ireland SFC group 2 campaign.John Cleary's charges have been drawn in a group with Kerry, Meath and Roscommon with Cork facing Meath this Saturday in Páirc Tailteann, Navan (3pm).The Rebels came second in the group stage in 2023 and finished in third in 2024, progressing to the knockout stage both times.With Cork having beaten Meath twice in their last two games, this is a huge game to give either side the best possible start after Kerry beat Roscommon last weekend.Also on the show, with Camogie congress on Thursday, May 22nd, we discuss what is likely to happen and hoping the skorts-shorts controversy comes to an end.It wasn't a good weekend for the Cork hurlers last time out after losing heavily to Limerick.We talk about their upcoming crunch clash with Waterford in Supervalu Páirc Uí Chaoimh.All this and more on this week's Star Sport Podcast.

Cork footballers are heading for a rematch with Kerry in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh after the draws were made for the All-Ireland group stages.Whatever happens on the June Bank Holiday weekend, or away to the losers of Meath-Louth in the Leinster final and Roscommon, which will be at a neutral venue, Cork football isn't in a very strong position on the basis of recent underage results.On this week's podcast we discuss the state of football on Leeside.Keith Ricken's minors host Kerry this week in the Munster opener, with both counties moving to the semi-final anyway, hoping to fare better than last season's U17 crop. The U20s were outclassed by Kerry in their provincial final and the Rebels have failed to trouble their rivals at all since they last picked up Munster underage silverware.Corn Uí Mhuirí action has highlighted how dominant Kerry are and you have to ask what is being done to arrest the slide? Cork haven't replaced Conor Counihan as Director of Football and given their financial issues are unlikely to do so while the lack of viable options if current senior manager John Cleary moves on at the end of the summer just shows how bleak the situation is.There's also a chat about Limerick's impressive display in beating Waterford away and they clearly mean business despite being surprisingly held to a draw in Thurles last month. The Cork U20 hurlers have improved across the campaign and will the chance to reach the Munster final against a fancied Tipp if they can beat Clare in the Páirc. The Banner beat them in the minor equivalent three years ago.This year's minors face Waterford in the Munster final, having completed the group with four wins from four and looking like very strong All-Ireland contenders.We also look at how the leagues are panning out in hurling and football across the divisions, with the availability of Cork hurling squad players a great reflection of the management team and their positive attitude.Plus a discussion of the Cork camogie and ladies football teams seasons so far and the skort versus shorts debate.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 preview the Munster SFC semi-final between arch-rivals Cork and Kerry.The Rebels are going into this game on Saturday at 7pm in Supervalu Páirc Uí Chaoimh as underdogs.Kerry are league champions and are favourites for the All-Ireland SFC according to the bookmakers.John Cleary and his team have a massive task ahead of them but there are avenues there for a shock win.Kieran McCarthy and Matthew Hurley delve into the promotion of the game, potential matchups, ways Cork can trouble Kerry and much more.Also on the show, we discuss the Cork hurlers' opening championship game against Clare.There was mixed league final fortunes for inter-county teams last weekend as the Cork camogie team won against Galway but the LGFA team lost to the Westerners.All this and more on this week's Star Sport Podcast.

Cork have ticked every box so far this year, building up significant momentum on their way to a first league title since 1998.They overwhelmed Tipp in the decider on Leeside, bringing their total of green flags in the last three games to 13, which included six up in Ennis where they head this Sunday.The harsh reality is that league and championship are very different animals and All-Ireland champions Clare will unleash hell on Easter Sunday after getting hammered last month.In our hurling special, we discuss the latest Cork-Clare showdown in detail with Denis Hurley, John Horgan and Jack McKay, and they offer their verdicts on the round-robin series while selecting their top three to qualify from Munster.Can Brian Hayes build on his sensational spring form? Remember he wasn't in the starting line-up for the first round this time last year in Waterford.Is Darragh Fitzgibbon's best position at 11 or will we see him back in midfield again over the coming weeks?Cork's backs have been mean and tight lately and that improved defensive effort will be integral to bridging the gap to 2005, or even reach a first Munster final since 2018.Our guests also discuss their personal Munster championship highlights over the years, the games and goals that stand out.Barry O'Mahony joins us to preview Cork v Kerry in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh. The Kingdom were pushed all the way by John Cleary's side in their last two meetings but the new rules suited Kerry's attack in their Division 1 league victory.Rory Noonan reports from the league finals over the weekend, which saw Cork lose to Galway in football but win the camogie crown for the first time since 2013. How are both sides fixed for championship? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

ON THIS week's podcast, we are joined by Cork senior hurler Shane Kingston, amid the hype around the hurling team at the moment.Kingston, who was speaking at the launch of the ‘eir for all' Poc Tapa Challenge, and his Cork teammates are just off the back of their first league title since 1998.They beat Tipperary 3-24 to 0-23 to give themselves the perfect preparation for the Munster SHC.Kingston spoke about how the players are concentrated on the job in hand and how tough the Munster series can be.Also on the show, we discuss the Cork footballers opening their championship campaign with a 0-24 to 0-13 win over Limerick.John Cleary's side will now face old rivals Kerry on Saturday week.The Cork LGFA and camogie teams are in league final action this weekend too as both Joe Carroll and Ger Manley's teams come up against Galway.All this and more on this week's Star Sport Podcast.

Up next is a conversation that I recently had with John Cleary. John has recently stepped away from leading School and System Improvement at the Northern Territory Department of Education. Before this, he was the Principal of a primary school in Katherine. He also created the NT Learning Commission, which promotes student-led research and uses the Impact Evaluation Cycle. In 2018, John was named one of 12 National Schools Plus Teaching Fellows and has received national recognition for his work as a principal. He is currently working towards a doctorate at the University of Melbourne. This conversation took place during a beautiful wet season storm in Larrakia Country, so very occasionally John's connection drops out, but he comes right back.  Here is a resource that is referenced in our conversation:  https://www.cse.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/CSE-Leading-Education-Series24-June2024-secure.pdf

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.

Éamonn Murphy is joined by Barry O'Mahony and Denis Hurley to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field.This week we pay tribute to Ray Ryan to former Cork hurler, Glanmire footballer and Sars legend, who won four counties and guided their U21s to glory. His death shocked everyone on Leeside but the GAA community rallied around his family and club.His brother Pat spoke superbly at his funeral and carried himself with his customary class as he managed the Cork hurlers on Saturday night to a fine victory over Kilkenny.We break down the Rebels' performance at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh with rookie forward Diarmuid 'Duds' Healy shooting the lights out to the tune of 1-5. There's still a lot of play for over the last couple of rounds, though wins over Clare and Galway would send Cork into the league final.The Cork footballers suffered a 14-point hammering at the hands of Roscommon, which now makes relegation a concern and rules out promotion once more.It was a disappointing night in the Páirc in every sense as a massive portion of the fans opted to depart after the hurling and more again at half-time when John Cleary's side were under pressure.Closer to home the leagues threw in over the weekend as we finally got a break from the wet weather and Steven Sherlock caught the eye for St Finbarr's, firing 0-15 away to Cill na Martra.Plus Celtic and Cork City line up glamour friendly for July in the Páirc, with a trophy made by Gerald McCarthy up for grabs...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 chat to former Monaghan footballer Stephen Gollogly as we look ahead to Cork's clash away to the Ulster side, which is in Grattan Park, Inniskeen at 1.30pm on Sunday.Gollogly won two Ulster titles in his time playing for Monaghan (2013 and 2015) and now owns a company called Gaelic Tactics Board.John Cleary's Cork are off the back of a win at home to Westmeath (3-18 to 3-17) and will hope to make it three wins from four as they aim to strengthen their promotion charge.Monaghan come into this game on four points (the same as Cork) after losing to Roscommon last weekend (0-25 to 2-14).Also on the show, we look ahead to the other three Cork sides in action this weekend.The hurlers go to Thurles to play Tipperary on Saturday at 7.30pm, the LGFA team face Monaghan on Sunday at 2pm in Castleblayney while the Camogie team open their league campaign against Waterford in Supervalu Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday at 2pm.In local news, the Carbery U21 football championships was suspended this week after the Cork county board refused to grant the south-west division an extra week to finish off the championships.All this and more on this week's Star Sport 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. 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 chat to the new Cork senior camogie captain Méabh Cahalane.Cahalane was speaking at the launch of the Very National Camogie Leagues for 2025 where she was honoured to go to the event as the Rebels' captain.She talks to us about getting advice from her dad (Cork football legend Niall), being part of a successful GAA family and the hopes for Ger Manley's team in 2025.Also on the show, we look ahead to the Cork footballers' home game against Westmeath this weekend, a game where John Cleary's side can't afford to slip up.We talk about the inclusion of Conor Cahalane on the football panel too, a story broken by The Southern Star last Friday.The Carbery U21A football championships kicked off as Bantry Blues, Castlehaven, Ibane Gaels and O'Donovan Rossa all progressed to the semi-finals.We also look ahead to the quarter-finals of the Beamish Cup as the local soccer tournament reaches its conclusion.All this and more on this week's Star Sport Podcast.

ON THIS week's podcast, we chat to Barry O'Donovan and Guilherme Alencar about the recent success of the 4 Honor Bantry jiu-jitsu club.The club was only founded in January 2023 and recently came back from the European Championships in Portugal with three gold medals (won by Kawan Azeredo, Juliana Taparica and Mariana Ribeiro) and one bronze (Karel Bubnik).It was a first medal in the adult division for the club (nevermind four).They then won a further two gold medals at the Dublin Open last weekend in the form of Kawan Azeredo and Juan Barcellos.Back home, the club also does an outreach program where they do self-defence and jiu-jitsu classes in schools around West Cork.Club founder O'Donovan and coach Guilherme join us this week to talk about the recent highs and their beginnings.Also on the show, we discuss Cork's agonising one point defeat to Down (1-19 to 2-15) in Newry in the Allianz Football League Division 2.A late two pointer won it for the Ulster side, leaving John Cleary's team in fourth after two games.The hurlers played out a tight and tense draw with old foes Limerick (1-16 apiece) in Páirc Uí Chaoimh while the ladies footballers fell short to Galway in Tuam (2-8 to 0-12).Elsewhere, Jack Crowley impressed off the bench as Ireland beat England in the opening round of the 6 Nations.All this and more on this week's Star Sport Podcast.

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.
