Monaghan & Derry through. Meath crash out. Wicklow should have beaten Dublin

About this episode

The episode discusses the recent GAA matches, highlighting Monaghan's and Derry's successes, Meath's elimination, and Wicklow's near victory against Dublin.

Westmeath land the biggest shock of the weekend, and that means Down may miss out on Sam Maguire football. We'll see what Kildare have to say. Monaghan manager Gabriel Bannigan and defender Cameron Dowd join Thomas, Philly & Darren Hughes on the GAA Social. Recorded live on BBC iplayer after the Cavan game and you can watch it on YouTube. We thought Wicklow did well, only losing by two. Turns out they should have won. Some effort!
