Three trophies were handed out on Leeside over the weekend while torrential rain forced the postponement of the Intermediate A and Senior A deciders.Kilbrittain got the sliotar rolling with a gritty win over Glen Rovers, whose second team represented the club superbly in the Premier Junior decider.Just a point separated the sides at full-time, with Kilbrittain lifting the cup on the same day Oisín Gillain would have turned 19. The gifted youngster died tragically and his team-mates honoured him in fitting fashion under Friday night lights.Mark Hickey was picked as Man of the Match with Ronan Crowley and Philip Wall also nailing big scores.Saturday's double-header was put back at short notice due to the orange weather warning but Sunday's two games went ahead.Ballinhassig were outstanding in the Premier Intermediate final against a Ballincollig team that came in with huge momentum after winning four games on the bounce. Hassig took over midway through the second half when the sides were level at 0-16 apiece, ramming in two goals and finishing six points in front, the same margin they defeated Collig by in the opening round.Patrick Collins' nous in goal, Ger Collins' deadly free-taking, the poise of Darragh O'Sullivan and impact of second-half sub Evan Cullinane were critical factors. Ballincollig were allowed hit full stride though Brian Keating landed some sensational points from play.John O'Sullivan's side will be strong contenders for Munster success now, especially if they can get their injured hurlers fully firing.Senior Munster champions Sars lived up to their billing as favourites against Midleton in what was a disappointing Premier Senior final. The loss of Conor Lehane and Eoin Moloney to injury was too much for the Magpies to bear, with James Sweeney raising two white flags and Jack O'Connor selected as Man of the Match.Incredibly, Sars veterans Craig Leahy, Daniel and William Kearney and Conor O'Sullivan captured the Seán Óg Murphy Cup for the sixth time since their breakthrough in 2008. The aim now for Johnny Crowley and Diarmuid O'Sullivan's charges is to return to the All-Ireland stage in January, having lost last season's final.The Echo Podcast crew also break down the action at divisional level, with a number of Junior A finals across the weekend.They preview the five county finals next weekend, a mix of hurling and football, headlined by a classic St Finbarr's v Nemo Rangers showdown on Sunday.Now in its third season, every week Éamonn Murphy is 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.

Join me for My Live Chat with Ger Buckley, Midleton's Master Cooper. I was asked to host a whiskey event at the Cork on a Fork food festival in Cork city in Aug 2025. I decided to do a Live Podcast episode in the iconic Hi-B bar in the heart of Cork city. The Hi-B notoriously doesn't allow mobile phones and encourages people actually talking to each other. I know, innovative..! So I couldn't think a better place to host Midleton Master Cooper Ger Buckley for a chat about the Dair Ghaelach or Irish Oak series of whiskeys that he and the team pioneered at Midleton Disitillery. This was recorded in front of a Live audience, the placed was packed out the door....... with 35 people... A big Thank You to Rachel O'Donnell, owner and proprietor of the Hi-B, for giving over the use of the bar on a busy festival Saturday afternoon.

We're down to the last 10 clubs hunting the major trophies on Leeside after a cracking weekend of semi-finals and the Echo Sport Podcast crew review all the action. The Premier Senior games were absolutely riveting, both decided by a puck of a sliotar to leave us with a repeat of the East Cork derby two years ago when Sarsfields beat Midleton. Both clubs came from behind in the semis, Midleton reeling in Blackrock before Conor Lehane's clutch free from deep in added time of extra time, and Sars using all their experience to shut down the Barrs late on. Lehane grabbed the headlines for the Magpies but Pa White nailed a staggering 0-7 from play. Sars had their usual spread of scorers but Jack O'Connor, top-scorer from play across the whole campaign, clipped 0-4. The Rockies were left frustrated and came agonisingly close to victory on a day when they were paying tribute to their former goalie Trevor Barry, who tragically died earlier in the week. It'll be an Eastern affair in the Senior A decider as well, after Castlelyons upset the odds by putting four goals past Blarney, including a David Morrison hat-trick, and Bride Rovers edged out Carrigtwohill. Rovers had been knocked out at the semi-final stage for the previous four years, making it a hugely significant win for the club. At Premier Intermediate, Ballinhassig take on Ballincollig in a rematch of their opening group game, where the Carrigdhoun side won comfortably. Injuries have been an issue for both teams across the last two months, which makes reaching the final more commendable. In the IAHC, it'll be Aghabullogue, on a mission to bounce back after relegation, against a Bandon side spearheaded by former Cork senior Michael Cahalane. In Premier Junior, Kilbrittain will take on Glen Rovers' second team, who defied expectations by eliminating Cloughduv. On this week's podcast, we also preview the football semi-final weekend, including Nemo v Newcestown, Barrs-Ballincollig, Cill na Martra against Éire Óg and Uibh Laoire and Aghada. 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.

Caroline Leahy, Secretary of Midleton and East Cork Flood Protection Group, discusses their protest over slow rollout of flood defences after Storm Babet.

The Cork club hurling quarter-finals and relegation playoffs didn't disappoint with the Barrs taking the headlines by dethroning Imokilly. Ger Cunningham's side had shown mixed form in the group stages but with Brian Hayes back as their attacking spearhead, they produced their best when it mattered. Ethan Twomey was superb at the heart of the midfield and their defence was collectively brilliant to neuter Imokilly's top guns. Next up is a clash with favourites Sars who shook off a dogged Charleville, helped by Jack O'Connor's 0-5 from play. On the other side of the draw Blackrock, the top seeds, will face a Midleton outfit who produced a storming fourth quarter to reel in Glen Rovers. Cormac Beausang's two goals were crucial while Patrick Horgan, with 2-9, shoot the lights out yet again for the northsiders but they'll be disappointed to have missed a great chance to reach the semis. At Senior A, there were no upsets with Bride Rovers and Blarney powering into the semi-finals. Carrigtwohill and Castlelyons await and all four clubs will feel they've the talent and form to land the title. In the lower grades, Ballincollig and Cloyne, after a 24-hour delay, secured passage to the Premier Intermediate semis, Aghabullogue and Bandon are through in Intermediate A, and at Premier Junior, Cloughduv and Ballygarvan, are into the last four. Erin's Own and Newtown will have to do it again in the Premier Senior relegation playoff while Castlelmartyr, Courceys, Youghal and Barryroe all won their deciders to stay up. There was no shortage of contenders for Hurler of the Week, including Turlough O'Neill, whose scores helped Newtown avoid the drop against Erin's Own, Damien Cahalane for his defensive prowess for the Barrs, and Conor Cahill, who nailed 0-5 for Cloyne. It's a huge weekend on the club football front with the knockout stages taking place and we pick out the matches to catch in the various grades, with Castlehaven v St Finbarr's the main attraction, along with Éire Óg against Bishopstown and Kanturk-Knocknagree in Senior A. 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.

In January 2021, workers clearing the abandoned railroad between Midleton and Youghal made a startling discovery. Along the track lay the skeletal remains of a woman left undiscovered for many years. Many questioned whether they had anything to do with the ongoing Tina Satchwell investigation. Despite a five-year investigation and a comparison of the skeleton's DNA against the national DNA database, detectives have not been able to confirm her identity. Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Ralph Riegel, Southern Correspondent with the Irish independent, to explore the strange case of the mysterious railway line remains.

We're down to the knockout stages of the Cork club hurling championships after a bumper three days of brilliant matches with a mix of superb performances and some shocks. Glen Rovers and Sarsfields served up a top-class Premier Senior encounter live on TG4 despite both teams being qualified beforehand, with young gun Barry O'Flynn's two goals proving critical. Sars now progress to a showdown with Charleville. Patrick Horgan offered a reminder of his brilliance with a haul of 2-10 and the Glen take on Midleton in the quarter-finals. Carrigtwohill continue to be the form team in the Senior A tier after stitching four first-half goals to end Killeagh's campaign. Brothers Sean and Patrick Walsh are lifting for Denis Walsh's side. There was an upset where high-flying Bride Rovers were grounded by their near-neighbours Watergrasshill, who missed on the knockout stages on scoring difference despite two wins in the group. At Premier Intermediate, Dungourney are the only unbeaten club after Jack Leahy led their comeback in a cracking derby with Lisgoold. Ger Collins and Darragh O'Sullivan clipped the late points for Ballinhassig to beat Kilworth and snatch the other semi-final berth at that level. Aghada are on song at Intermediate A with Kilbrittain straight into the semis at Premier Junior. Huge credit must go to Sars and Glen Rovers' second teams, who also secured seeding at Intermediate A and Premier Junior respectively. It's a huge weekend on the club football front with the last group games taking place and we pick out the matches to catch in the various grades. Douglas and Ballincollig collide for qualification in the Premier Senior Football grade, Carbery Rangers and Clon will meet to avoid a relegation playoff, and all four teams in the Senior A group with Éire Óg, Kanturk, Kilshannig and Newmarket are tied on a win apiece.

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.

All-Ireland hurling final week is here and The Echo Sport Podcast has you covered ahead of the eagerly-awaited showdown between Cork and Tipperary at Croke Park. The Rebels are favourites, having wrestled the Munster title from Limerick before their shock quarter-final exit at the hands of Dublin and back on the big stage after last summer's agonising one-point extra-time loss to Clare. The Premier were well beaten by Cork in the Munster series this year and in 2024, along with the league final in April, but they're a very different animal now. We look at how they reshaped the team and went on a five-game run of victories to carry them into their first All-Ireland final since 2019. The podcast team pick out the hurlers Cork will have to shut down and discuss Liam Cahill's strong record against the Rebels at underage level and if that will have a bearing on July 20. The marquee match-ups are analysed along with three Rebels who need to hit the heights to end a 20-year wait for All-Ireland glory. Plus the scramble for tickets, with the Cork hurlers as popular as they were in their last dominant era in the mid-noughties, and all the focus on the 'hype train'. How can the manic support for Pat Ryan's side be viewed as a negative nationally? We also round up the league final action across Rebel county, headlined by Sarsfields completing three in a row at Division 1 level with a strong second half against St Finbarr's. It's been a remarkable return to the helm for Johnny Crowley, having also won a county and reached last January's All-Ireland club final in Croker. They are front-runners for the Seán Óg Murphy cannister, as are Midleton, who beat Killeagh in a fiery Division 2 decider. Elsewhere, Bride Rovers saw off Newcestown after extra time and Aghabullogue's five-goal victory over Ballyhea, two grades above them in championship, also caught the eye. 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.

Should town councils be revived? The Taoiseach is one of those who certainly thinks so. Micheál Martin has said he wants to re-establish town councils across the country within three years. 80 town councils were abolished across the country, as part of austerity-era cuts.

To discuss the merits of re-establishing town councils, Alan Morrissey was joined by Patricia McCarthy, former Shannon town council chair,Deirdre Culligan, Former Independent Kilrush town councillor and Michael Guilfoyle, Former Ennis Fianna Fáil Town councillor.

Join me for My Midleton Micro Distillery Chat with Barrett Stapleton - Head Distiller in the Micro. Barrett originally hails from the US and has beat a really interesting path to his current position in Midleton Distillery. He came back to Ireland at the end of Covid, after studying in UCC in the early 00's, to start work distilling in Clonakilty Distillery.  From Electrician to Scuba Instructor, from Hawaii to Antarctica, I am so glad that none of those things dissuaded Barrett from joining the Irish Whiskey fraternity, because he is a genuine, passionate, bubbly character whose passion is infectious. He's my kinda guy and I think after listening to this chat, you'll understand why it's so important to have people like this in the Irish Whiskey Industry.

If you're looking for something different in the Irish whiskey category, make sure to check out Jameson Triple Triple. It's triple distilled like all Midleton whiskey, but then finished in three different casks, bourbon, sherry, and chestnut casks. The usual Jameson fruit, sweetness and drinkability takes on a mellow, nutty complexity with the addition of the chestnut casks, there's even a bit of toffee pudding, Chistmas cake spice on the finish that really adds to the depth. This would be an easy innovation or line extension to overlook or ignore because it's not at a luxury price point, but you shouldn't because it's really tasty.

This summer, I embarked on a road trip to Tuskahoma, Oklahoma, for our annual Choctaw Labor Day Festival. Nestled among the rolling hills of the Kiamichi Mountains, the event was a vibrant celebration featuring stickball tournaments, frybread, gourd dancing, and Choctaw Village activities. While these cherished traditions always make the journey worthwhile, this year's experience was especially meaningful. On August 30, 2024, we honored the historic Choctaw monetary gift sent to the Irish during the Great Famine with the unveiling of the Eternal Heart monument, created by Choctaw sculptor Sam Guerrero Stitt. This remarkable piece stands as a companion to the Kindred Spirit monument in Midleton, County Cork, Ireland, designed by Alex Pentek. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to The National Famine Museum at Strokestown Park, the Irish Heritage Trust, the Sharing Lands research group, and the Government of Ireland Emigrant Support Programme for their invaluable collaboration and support. Special thanks also go to the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma for making this moment possible! The connection between the Irish and the Choctaw is a profound testament to kindred spirits—a friendship forged through hardship and solidified by an enduring act of compassion. We honor the struggles and resilience of our Choctaw and Irish ancestors, whose spirits continue to inspire us. May this bond of kinship flourish for generations to come. Yakoke to my esteemed guests: Chief Gary Batton, Seth Fairchild, Claire Green Young, and, of course, the talented sculptor behind the Eternal Heart, Sam Stitt!
