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?

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.

All-Ireland winners Paul Murphy and James Skehill are back to review a dramatic weekend in the National Hurling League. On a week where Clare lost their Hurler of the Year Shane O'Donnell for the season, the Banner rallied to beat their rivals Limerick at the Gaelic Grounds. Diarmuid Healy seized his chance for Cork in their victory over Kilkenny on Leeside, while Galway made it three wins in-a-row by overcoming Wexford. Offaly remain top of the pile in Division One B, Antrim's late equalising goal was a blow for Carlow, while Waterford finished strongly to beat Dublin at Walsh Park. On, and the lads learned the origin of the Paddy Losty meme, and its connection to Galway hurling...

The Echo Sport Podcast takes in all the latest GAA action, with a focus on the 37-man squad picked by Pat Ryan and his selectors for the hurling league.Now in it's 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.The hurlers have another weekend off before their next league game, away to Tipp, but revealed the panel they'll use for the rest of the spring with some of last year's squad cut. That included Seán Twomey, who started the Munster championship game in Waterford in 2024, and Conor Cahalane, who has significant championship experience.Could a dark horse come into the set-up between here and the provincial campaign, like Power last summer? Jack Leahy perhaps, given his excellent form with UL on the back of a county title for Imokilly?A number of Rebels are involved in the Fitzgibbon Cup semi-final with UCC and MTU Cork hoping to set up an all-Leeside final. We preview their chances against DCU and UL.The Cork footballers are back in league action at home to Westmeath. They'd a thrilling victory over Meath in the opener but lost on the road to Down in their second outing, a significant blow to their promotion hopes.They've proved adept at kicking two-pointers but their defence will need to be tighter as they build for championship.In the Cork U21 club championships, the new rules helped serve up some extremely entertaining games.On the camogie front, there was more heartbreak for UCC. Since capturing a 32nd Ashbourne Cup in 2003 they've now lost nine finals. The Cork ladies footballers made it two wins from three league games as they bid to escape from Division 2. Joe Carroll's charges hit Tipp for three goals with the return of Erika O'Shea from Aussie Rules a major boost for the Rebels. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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.

Swashbuckling Athlone Town secured their maiden league title with a resounding 2-0 victory over Bohemians on TG4 on Saturday despite Shels doing what was required of them with a 3-0 win over the previous champions Peamount.Elsewhere a gallant Treaty overcame Galway to potentially set up their best finish to a season in some time as Sligo Rovers secured their first win of the season in their penultimate game in a disrupted game on Leeside. Wexford and Shamrock Rovers could not be separated in Ferrycarrig Park finishing 2-2.Despite the glut of action across the league it was off the field events which dominated the coverage of the league this season as some end of season retirements are announced and Rovers defender Savannah McCarthy is pulled from a burning vehicle with serious injuries on Sunday evening. All this and a preview of the final round of games this weekend from Breifne Earley and Aaron Clarke (The WNL Show)

Ruairí Keating joins us in studio this week, for a very open and honest chat about his career so far, a very difficult period in his life, his City departure and subsequent return to Leeside, where he now feels happy and at home. He also speaks about his aims for the future, and the partnership with Seani Maguire!

In another example of government overspending, the infamous Leeside trees cost €300,000 to install, and around €15,000 a year to maintain.Is it time to get rid of them?Joining guest host Jonathan Healy to discuss is Fianna Fáil Councillor for Cork City North-West, John Sheehan and Labour Councillor for Cork South-Central, Cork City South East, Peter Horgan.

This week, it's the one you've all been waiting for, as Seani Maguire joins the lads in studio! Hear all about his first spell at the Club, his career in England and then his move back to Leeside.

All-Ireland winners Paul Murphy and James Skehill joined Will O'Callaghan to review a game for the ages between Cork and Limerick in the Munster Hurling Championship with the Rebels keeping their summer alive with a victory against the reigning All-Ireland champions in a thriller on Leeside.The surprises continued in the Leinster Championship, with Carlow earning a draw against their neighbours Kilkenny with a late free from Marty Kavanagh. While Dublin continued their unbeaten start with a comprehensive defeat of Antrim at Parnell Park.The Hurling Pod is with thanks to Bord Gais Energy, proud sponsors of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship.

The Cork hurlers host Limerick on Saturday night but the Leeside faithful are losing hope and have little expectation of an upset.Cork were beaten by the Déise and Clare, and Denis Hurley joins Éamonn Murphy to look at what changes and tactics we can expect from Pat Ryan and his selectors for the big hurling game.What can they do to improve their puck-out strategy? Do they deploy a sweeper like Mark Coleman in one of the forward slots to drop deep and offer cover? They lost 3-26 to 3-24 to Clare in a wild game so keeping it tight is surely a priority.There's also a review of the Cork U20 round-robin series, which saw Ben O'Connor's young charges heavily beaten in Tipperary in a game where their lack of physicality and ball-winning was jarring. There is no shortage of talent in the squad but can they find their best form before the Munster semi-final?Plus the Cork footballers now know their Sam Maguire group stage opponents, with Clare first up. We look at their prospects.You can find us every week on www.echolive.ie/podcast/ or wherever you get your podcasts. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With music comes great power are the wise words of Cork Opera House CEO Eibhlín Gleeson who gives a behind the scenes insight to the intricate, creative world of entertainment programming. The Cork Opera House is an iconic landmark Leeside with over 160 years in operation, Eileen & the creative crew are planning a bigger & better programme to celebrate another milestone.Eileen comes from a very creative background, coming from a family of musicians & being a musician herself, knew a career in music was a must. She started her creative journey studying music in UCC where during her role in the Students Union she got her first taste of production & music programming when she established the first music week on campus showcasing the talented array of musicians in the university. That early role paved the way for a career in music & entertainment programming.Her first role in the industry began with the INEC in Killarney working in marketing, the box office & gaining experience into the business of entertainment programming. This led to other succession to working in Edinburgh on the famous Fringe Festival amongst others, directing & programming entertainment from music to comedy & theatre. A return home however led to a role as CEO of the Chamber Choir of Ireland using valuable lessons from previous roles.However one of the most exciting stories we hear about Eibhlín's career path was a year spent in Washington DC working at the infamous Kennedy Center on a fellowship programme working with a $200 million budget. One of the highlights of the experience was having the opportunity to bring the Chamber Choir of Ireland to the White where they sang for the Obama's on St.Patrick's Day.After a year Eibhlín returned to Ireland to use her skills from the US to set up her own company supporting artists. The Opera House happened to be one of her clients &when a job opportunity opened, she took a role as general manager before becoming CEO where she remains today. It's an exciting insight to the entertainment industry, the tough work that goes on behind the scenes to bring an array of entertainment to audiences. Hosted on Acast.

Who doesn't immediately start grinning when you think of Pat Shortt? And now he's joined on stage bny his daughter Faye in their show "WELL" coming to Cork Opera House, you can grin, laugh and share the craic on March 4th.

Shane Kingston also gives his thoughts on the season ahead. Emporium Cork's Adrian O'Sullivan speaks ahead of huge weekend of basketball on Leeside. They play DBS Eanna in the National Cup semi-final.

The episode starts with the lads announcing that Kevin is appearing in the Cork Opera House pantomime this year (oh yes he is etc etc) and how he already has a romanticised vision of his Christmas in Cork. The pair then move on to the theme for this week which is accents and ponder whether the podcast would be as successful as it is if it wasn't for their Cork accents. They also have very little faith in the suggestion that Irish people have the sexiest accent in the world (surely not like?) and put their acting skills to the test by taking famous movie quotes and giving them a Leeside spin.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨ Hosted on Acast.

European football is a Ciaran Kilduff time of year and he dropped into studio to reflect on magic memories with Johnny and Dan and talk about his plans to make some new ones in management. His old team-mate and rival Colin Healy is living that life right now and he dialled in from Cork ahead of Friday's big game in Turner's Cross to talk about the transition to the dugout and dismiss mind games from our in-house Galwegian. We also hear about Ciaran's brief but memorable spider heavy stint on Leeside where the blind quite literally ended up leading the blind. Beyond that, we hear about Shamrock Rovers' Euro exploits from Stephen Bradley and look ahead to a big Sligo Rovers night with the help of John Russell and Aidan Keena. And your mailbag brings us down an unusual path towards suspiciously cute animal videos and the eternal question of whether an elephant actually forgets. This is all brought to you by our good friends at Collar and Cuff, Future Ticketing and Porterhouse Brew.

Today, May 22nd, marks the birthday of George Best - one of the greatest footballers of his or any other age. Voted European Footballer of the Year in 1968, it seems almost unimaginable that the following decade would bring him Leeside, and to Cork Celtic Football Club. What followed was something of a farce, that said much about the direction of domestic football in the 1970s. Gavan was joined by Donal Fallon for another episode of Hidden Histories to discuss.

Hugh joins Ronan in the hot seat this week as they bring you an exciting line up of entertainment from the TY's who are joined by some very special guests.

It's official, Kerry are now the bookies favourites and after their historic 22-point demolition of Cork in the Munster final, Sam is there for the taking. On this week's Throw-In podcast, Tomás Ó'Sé joins Will Slattery and Dermot Crowe and he tells the lads just how far the Kingdom really can go believing that Dublin are the most vulnerable they've been in ten years. “Kerry are favourites,” he admits. “They're working like animals all around the pitch. I think they have an edge, the harder edge this year definitely.” The panel also rate Mayo's chances in the semi-final after their 11-point turn-around in the Connacht final while Kerry face the winner of Tyrone v Monaghan in next weekend's Ulster final. Meanwhile, in the hurling, John Mullane was on the show celebrating Waterford's win over Galway and he reckons they will have the speed to topple Tipperary in the quarter-finals. On the other side of the draw, Cork's win over Clare sees them meet Dublin and Mullane thinks the Rebels have every chance to go far. “Something is definitely happening down Leeside,” says Mullane. “I wouldn't like to be playing them and I think they'll win at the weekend and that'll put them in a semi-final and - a bit like Waterford - momentum will be with them and they seem to be building down there.” Listen and follow the Throw-In on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, with new episodes every Monday throughout the Championship.

Stephanie (0:40) starts the show with a look back at the weekend's action including her Peamount sides close victory over Cork City, DLR's great 1-0 win against Athlone Town, Boh's heavy defeat to Wexford Youths and Shel's demolition of Galway WFC.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 75 °F, and today you should expect super hot highs in the 90s—we’ve even got a heat advisory in effect until 8:00 PM. The heat index could reach as high as 109 °F, and that means you probably should stay inside if at all possible.Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 927↗️ new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealthand 29↗️ new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 138↗️ new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 40, Henrico: 68, and Richmond: 30). Since this pandemic began, 326 people have died in the Richmond region. Just yesterday, the seven-day average of new cases in Virginia hit 1,012—the first time it’s been over 1,000 since August 13th. Percent positivity has also started to trend upward in the Commonwealth, and, at 7.7%, is now at its highest level since around June 8th. Statewide numbers are whatever, and it’s maybe more helpful to look at percent positive in the Central Region—which is bigger than just Richmond, Henrico, and Chesterfield, but still smaller than the entire state. Turns out percent positivity for the Central Region is…7.8% and that’s the highest it’s been since August 9th. What does this all mean? Keep working from home if possible, keep your mask on, and keep your distance from other people—that’s for sure.Ali Rockett at the Richmond Times-Dispatch has more on Tuesday’s shameful display of violence by the Richmond Police Department. Here, again, is the hard-to-watch video of a police officer tackling a person off of their bike, smashing their head onto a sidewalk. And here is how the RPD’s Deputy Chief Sydney Collier describes the incident: “Force is met with force…He’s eluding. He’s trying to avoid capture. As long as he’s trying to elude, the officer used the only option he had to stop him while he was on the bicycle.” Force is met with force?? What kind of force, exactly, does an unarmed kid standing in front of a tow truck with a bicycle need to be met with? Watch that video again and tell me that was the only option available to over a dozen police officers to “capture” this one person on a bike. The police continue to gaslight us by responding to actual, literal video of their horrible behavior as if it doesn’t exist at all. I honesty feel like I’m losing my grip on reality when I read quotes like this. Who are these people? Why do they behave this way? Why will none of our elected leaders do anything about it??This seems like a big, leafy deal: The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation announced a $227,467 grant to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation that “will plant more than 650 new trees in neighborhoods suffering from extreme heat linked to racially-motivated housing discrimination in the past.” That’s awesome, but even awesomer, this grant will focus on Southside neighborhoods and build on the work that folks like Southside ReLeaf and Groundwork RVA are already doing in that part of the city.A million years ago in 2017, Richmond adopted the Pulse Corridor Plan which recommend a bunch of rezonings to make the neighborhoods surrounding our best transit denser, more walkable, and more transit-friendly. As part of that plan, the Planning Commission will consider rezoning the area around the Science Museum, Allison Street, and VCU & VUU Pulse stations next week. If you can’t wait to talk zoning/rezoning, tonight you can attend a virtual public forum from 6:00–7:30 PM to hear the Department of Planning and Review talk through this proposed rezoning and why it’s important. You’ll probably hear from lots and lots of neighborhood folks angry about the standard set of anti-density stuff: tall buildings, sewer and school overload, parking, and traffic. It’s frustrating to have to argue about these same exact things each and every time we want to build more homes so more people can live in our city, but, that’s the bad timeline we live in. Until we have a decidedly urbanist City Council and Mayor we’ll need to do whatever we can to drag Richmond forward in these tiny and frustratingly incremental steps.Whoa, the Virginia ABC reports a $117 million increase in revenue compared to last year. I’d love to see those numbers by month, because I bet a huge portion of that increase came during the coronaspring. Of note, over the course of last year, Virginians spent $52.3 million on Tito’s Handmade vodka, the top-selling booze in the Commonwealth. That’s a lot of vodka!Daniel Heffner at NBC12 says that “roofers working on Bellevue Elementary School in Church Hill uncovered a decades-old beehive while repairing a section of the roof.” The beepeople brought in to save/remove the bees estimated the hive to be 40 years old and contain 60,000 bees! The pictures alone are worth your tap.The Henrico and Richmond City Health Districts will host a free community testing event today at Tuckahoe Middle School (9000 Three Chopt Road) from 9:00–11:00 AM. Walk-ups welcome! If you’re sitting at home worrying about your coronastatus, get out there and get a free test this morning. These are your local health districts! They’re here to serve you.This morning’s patron longreadWelcome to Leeside, the US’s first climate havenSubmitted by Patron Susan. I love this genre of thing, where the creator fabricates bits of an alternative historical record to tell their story (my favorite example of this at the moment is the Mystery Flesh Pit National Park Tumblr). This piece in QZ tells the future history of Leeside, a (fake) Midwest town that decide to open its Rust Belt arms to climate refugees, and now, years later, the town is booming.It’s 2057 and no life has been untouched by the realities of a warming globe. But mere decades ago, at the dawn of the 21st century, Americans were only just waking to this truth. Rising seas, powerful storms, and raging fires were destroying their cities, rendering homes uninhabitable, and dismantling livelihoods. Residents affected by such loss began to ask, “Where will we go?” In an increasingly isolationist world, many responded, “Not here.” But Leeside opened its doors. And after years of implementing innovative policies benefiting both the environment and the city’s residents, the United Nations inaugurated Leeside as the United States’ first Green Haven in 2035. Now, the city is recognized as a model of successful adaptation—physical, economic, and social—to a world in which cities and their communities are transformed by the millions seeking shelter from the storm.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.
