About this episode

The episode discusses recent GAA matches, player performances, and reflects on the life of Frank McGuigan.

Kerry 0-16 Donegal 2-20. Where do we start? Oisin believes the GAA have backed themselves into a corner with Ger Brennan, and Jim McGuinness will face a suspension. He doesn’t believe David Clifford should have been sent off. “We could chat about this game for 9 hours there’s that much stuff.” It feels like we’re now in real championship, a huge win for Donegal in Killarney. Cork beat Meath with lots of love for Steven Sherlock and equal reverance for Rob Finnerty in what he’s doing at Galway. Tyrone weren’t brilliant, but found a way, on an emotion day for the county. Frank McGuigan passed away this weekend, we did a spectacular podcast with him two years ago, we reflect on his life and response since his passing. He was the King. Tailteann Cup games, surprise for Down against Offaly, while Waterford, Limerick, Carlow and Clare say goodbye to the football championship. Cork play Clare in the Munster hurling final and Kilkenny are out! Their earliest elimination since 1996
