'We knew we could come away with a result’ | MEATH 1-22 TO 0-16 KERRY | OFF THE BALL

Sun, 15 Jun 2025 12:00:00 +0000

Hear from Robbie Brennan, Eoghan Frayne, Conor Duke & Jordan Morris on full-time at Glenisk O’Connor Park in Tullamore after Meath beat Kerry on a scoreline of 1-22 to 0-16.

After leading by 6 at the break, it was a disatrous start to the second half for Meath as Cathal Hickey picked up a black card just 15 seconds into the 2nd half for a cynical pull back following the throw-in.

Dylan Geaney knocked over two in quick succession, but by the time Hickey returned, The Royals still held 5 point lead, at 16 points to 11.

A pair of fine two pointers from Ruairi Kinsella & Conor Duke extended Meath’s lead to 7 with just 15 to play.

Not to long after Meath stalwart Bryan Menton goaled for the Royals to open up a 10 point lead, which proved to be unassailable.

Meath will now have significant break before the All-Ireland quarter finals at Croke Park.

Kerry on the other hand will have to settle for a home preliminary-quarter final next weekend.

THE HURLING POD: 'The best save I've ever seen' | Clare too conservative in first-half

Mon, 10 Jul 2023 18:00:00 +0000

All-Ireland winners Paul Murphy (eventually) and James Skehill joined Will O'Callaghan to take live questions and comments from The Hurling Pod community following the All-Ireland semi-finals after Limerick and Kilkenny set up a repeat of last season's decider. On this week's pod: (0:00) - Paul Murphy gets stuck in traffic, so James Skehill gets a chance to talk interrupted about how good Eoin Murphy's wonder save was. 'The best save I've ever seen'. (04:46) - Aaron Gillane is now the front-runner as hurler of the year, his incredible catch for the first goal. His positional sense is phenomenal. Galway were in such a strong position after half an hour. Retreating handed the initiative to Limerick. 'You can't try and take on Limerick at their own game'. (15:43) - Did Quaid slowing the match down make that much of a difference really? 'It wasn't the losing of the game for Galway. Galway's body language went down when Limerick started throwing the punches. Shefflin on how Limerick dominated the middle of the field. (33:46) - Fresh from his appearances on BBC, Virgin Media, and OTB across the weekend, four-time All-Star Paul Murphy joins the pod! 'I didn't even have the luxury to get changed'. Murph explains how he looked after Skehill on Saturday afternoon. Cian Lynch's involvement in the game and helping make Limerick tick. (45:07) - Clare went away from what's been effective for them by deploying a sweeper in the first half against Kilkenny. It's unfair to claim that Clare only rise their game against Limerick. 'Clare have been brilliant this year'. Should the advantage have been played to allow Rodgers to hit the net? Inconsistency in refereeing decisions. (58:00) - 'Get your pen ready Skehill, it's Mikey Butler watch time!'. Kilkenny All-Star again impresses on Tony Kelly. Who should Butler pick up in the final? Will Kilkenny use Huw Lawlor on Gillane? Eoin Cody in red-hot form. TJ Reid moves to the top of the All-Ireland scoring list. (01:12:00) - Knowing when to go long and when to go short with puck outs. The work teams do ahead of big games on restarts. The swear jar is overflowing in the Skehill house. (01:28:00) - TJ Reid could surpass Henry Shefflin as Kilkenny's greatest ever.

The Mike Quirke Podcast - Ep. 2: Fionn Fitzgerald digs into the genetic lottery

Thu, 17 Nov 2022 13:30:00 +0000

Fionn Fitzgerald will be well known to followers of GAA, having captained Kerry to a senior football All Ireland title in 2014. The Dr Crokes club man is a lecturer in MTU Kerry campus and is currently undertaking a PhD looking at the area of biobanding, relative age effect and maturation rates of players involved with GAA development academies. In this episode, Fionn shares his thoughts on the ‘growth spurt’ ages for boys and girls, and the impact that can have on their performance. He talks about the need for coaches to be aware of the difference between the early and later physical developers and the challenges posed by each. His research has potentially significant implications for coaches and parents of kids in that 12 -16 age bracket and shines a light on topic previously underappreciated in general by youth sport in Ireland. Similar to season 1, I've set up this podcast with a dual purpose in mind, firstly to provide some thoughtful debate for coaches, but I've also linked up with Recovery Haven in Tralee, who provide free cancer support services for the people of Kerry and beyond.

Our host, Alan O’Mara, is joined this week by Tipperary’s Aishling Moloney.

She was a key player on the Tipperary ladies’ football team that won 2 Intermediate All-Ireland titles and was voted Player of the Year in 2019. Unfortunately the 2022 season played out without Moloney on the field, as the Tipperary ace battled to overcome an ACL injury and the complications that followed post-surgery. Aishling is open and honest about how the last 13 months have challenged her, both mentally and physically, in ways she never imagined. The sharpshooter shares some of the lessons she has learned on the long and winding road to recovery and why she is returning to gaelic games as both a better person and athlete. She also discusses heart troubles, how much things have improved for female GAA players in recent seasons and the challenges her inter-county peers are still facing.

The Players Voice - Ep. 9: Laois legend Colm Begley retires, chasing the AFL and the GAA today

Sat, 23 Jul 2022 09:00:00 +0000

We were joined this week by Colm Begley of Laois, who officially announced his retirement from the inter-county game. Colm made his senior debut in 2005 but life soon took him in a very different direction. That direction was Down Under, when he secured a professional contract with Australian Football League team Brisbane Lions. Colm’s rise through the ranks of a new sport was remarkable and he was voted club rookie of the year in 2007. The Stradbally man played four years in the AFL before deciding to return home. Back in Ireland, he enjoyed 12 more seasons in the blue and white of Laois and learned the importance of developing Colm Begley the person, as well as the athlete. Transition was a key theme throughout this episode as Colm reflected on life lessons gathered from experiencing two elite sports. He is now the Player Welfare and Engagement Manager with the Gaelic Players Association. This podcast is brought to you as part of BEO 360, a GPA programme that empowers inter-county players across 4 key areas - life skills, wellbeing, dual career and transitions.

GAA Weekend Review | Are the Dubs back? | Munster Hurling Championship clashes | Derry through to Ulster final | Analysis and Reaction

Sun, 15 May 2022 17:00:00 +0000

It was a bumper weekend for the GAA Championships, and OTB Sports has everything you need to look back on the action-packed weekend. Limerick got the weekend off to a great start when they booked a date against Kerry in the Munster Football Championship final, beating Tipperary on Saturday night. However, Saturday was all about Leinster hurling, as Kilkenny put up a massive performance to beat Dublin, while Westmeath earned an excellent draw against Wexford. The day was wrapped up when Galway thrashed Laois in the Leinster Hurling championship. Sunday was equally as action-packed, with Leinster and Ulster football taking centre stage, while the Munster Hurling Championship was as entertaining as ever. Dublin looked to be back to their best in their win over Meath, booking their place in the Leinster final against Kildare, who cruised to a victory over Westmeath earlier in the day. Derry were far too good for Monaghan, and booked their place against Donegal in the Ulster final. Finally, in Munster, Cork earned an unlikely win over Waterford to blow the hurling championship right open. Clare and Limerick followed up with a classic, as nothing could separate the two sides at the end of the match, both teams taking the draw. Here is all of the manager reaction, pundit analysis and more! [00:15] - Paul Murphy reacts to Cork's win over Waterford [10:39] - Cork manager Kieran Kingston [13:52] - Waterford manager Liam Cahill [16:56] - Paddy Andrews reacts to the Leinster semi-finals [26:56] - Westmeath manager Jack Cooney [32:22] - Kildare manager Glenn Ryan [38:41] - Dublin manager Dessie Farrell [42:09] - Meath manager Andy McEntee [44:52] - Billy Joe Padden reacts to the Ulster football semi-finals [57:37] - Derry's Rory Gallagher [1:00:22] - Derry's Gareth McKinless
