They were full value for their All-Ireland win this afternoon, their sixth one ever in what was the 50th LGFA national final, as they saw off Kerry by 0-18 to 1-10 in front of a […]

To start the show we hear audio from podcast regular Edwin McGreal, who reflects on Mayo’s […]
It may not have been one of the better All-Ireland finals in recent years but in terms of intensity and how close the contest was right to the end, it wasn’t half bad either. Dublin were deserved two-point winners at the finish. There was a period early in the second half when Kerry got a run on them and, leading […]

This means that, for the first time since 2019, it’s a meeting of the game’s two biggest […]
