Apologies, first of all that this week’s episode is a day late.
The exploits of Nicole Turner and Gary O’Reilly at the Paralympics mean that we’re recording this week on Tuesday morning instead.
And we start by offering our congratulations to Nicole and Gary who have claimed silver and bronze medals respectively. Alan chats through their performances and anticipates a serious homecoming for both in the coming days.
We also look back on a busy weekend of club hurling championship action.
Have Rathdowney-Errill justified their status as favourites? What of Camross?
Did Castletown cause an upset or is it second-season syndrome for Rosenallis? And did Abbeyleix let Borris-Kilcotton off the hook?
We also discuss the Premier Intermediate grade where Ballyfin were narrow winners over Ballinakill while Portlaoise, Rathdowney-Errill and Clonaslee all had big wins.
In the intermediate grade, The Harps, Clough-Ballacolla, Borris-Kilcotton and Trumera all had wins while a red mist descended on Mountrath and Mountmellick, Clonad and Park-Ratheniska are all on the back foot after opening round losses.
