Cathal Mullaney is joined by Enda McGinley, Shane McGrath and Damian Lawlor to reflect on an exhilirating final round of Allianz League games over the weekend.They also pay tribute to Michael Lyster following the death of the legendary The Sunday Game presenter over the weekend (00:30).The football chat starts with divisions 3 and 4 (5:30), where Wexford pulled off the heist of the weekend to gain promotion ahead of Westmeath, while in Division 4, Wicklow threw away the chance to escape the basement, with Longford benefiting.In the top tier, Dublin were relegated while Donegal and Kerry will meet in the final, with the Kingdom's draw in Armagh capturing Enda McGinley's attention.Meath and Cork hinted at an interesting summer ahead with their promotion to the top tier, while Kildare's hopes of progress stunted once more by relegation.In hurling (41:45), Shane fancies Cork as the All-Ireland favourites but has lots of Limerick men in his team of the league.The Munster pair will meet in the league final in the Gaelic Grounds, with Shane strongly advocating for a Croke Park decider.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Allianz Leagues reach their final round of round robin games with plenty still to be decided.The four football divisions are the more intriguing, and Peter Canavan joins Cathal Mullaney and Rory O'Neill to run through the permutations.Hurling (35:00) has less on the line, but the de facto semi-final between Limerick and Galway does raise a couple of talking points.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cathal Mullaney and Conor Neville from the RTÉ Sport team are joined by Éamonn Fitzmaurice to take a look at round 6 of the Allianz football league. Éamonn boldly proposes that Kerry may be entering an era similar to Jim Gavin's Dublin from 2015-2020 (4:45). Mayo's attacking game (7:50) against Kerry was broken down, with the ex-Kerry manager stating he felt any issues would be ironed out in time for Championship season. The Rossies are in flying form was another topic of discussion and Éamonn feels they look like they have preserved more energy than usual to beat their past form of not being able to produce after a strong league performance. (13:00)Ger Brennan's post-match comments were brought up with Éamonn reflecting that the "straight shooting" manager maybe felt there was a lack of leadership in their second-half performance that allowed Armagh to control the kickouts (16:30). Thoughts also turned to what approach Jack O'Conor will take for the final-round clash against the Orchard county, with Éamonn stating that incentives for both sides could make for an exciting clash in the Athletic Grounds (20:10). As the league comes to a close the panel wonder if players are as concerned and aware of the permutations, Éamonn reflects that it depends on the player and their level of personal "nerdiness" for the intricacies of the game (26:50). Division 2, 3 and 4 are also discussed, with Cork's fate determined to be very much in their own hands against Tyrone, who they have a decent record against (29:50), and uniquely all seven teams remain in the mix in Division 4 (34:50). You can find the RTÉ Sport online team's permutations for the Allianz Football League here: https://www.rte.ie/sport/football/2026/0316/1563681-football-league-permutations-little-decided-ahead-of-r7/ Watch the RTÉ GAA Podcast on the RTÉ Sport YoutubeWeb http://www.rte.ie/sportX: https://x.com/RTEsportFollow us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/rtesportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cathal Mullaney is joined by fellow Sligoman James McMahon and former Westmeath manager Dessie Dolan to preview the weekend's Allianz Football League action.There is much excitement around Mayo's visit to Tralee to take on Kerry (2:50) and not just because it's Kobe versus Clifford. Can Mayo keep the 'Moranball' bounce going or will Jack O'Connor look to continue his impressive league record?Also on Saturday, Armagh travel to Croke Park to take on Dublin (9:00). Neither side has enjoyed the spring they would have hoped for... can Armagh find the net and can Ger Brennan find a few more wins while minding Con O'Callaghan?High-flying Donegal travel to Roscommon on Sunday (15:45) with the hosts looking to bounce back from a poor showing against Dublin. Dessie believes the Connacht men need to show more aggression in the tackle.With Monaghan hosting Galway (18:40) and the drop looking inevitable, Dessie explains how the drop to Division 2 is not the end of the world... provide you bounce back up.Things in Division 2 (21:20) continue to intrigue, as Tyrone look devoid of confidence and Dessie asks, 'Who would manage the Cork footballers?'Finally, with Offaly struggling in the second tier and a gaggle of Division 3 sides looking to join Down in promotion, Dessie spells out the gulf between the second and third tiers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cathal Mullaney is joined by Shane McGrath and Mikey Stafford to discuss the weekend’s Allianz League hurling action, which saw a historic loss for Kilkenny, Limerick’s return to their old set-up, and the benefits of 1B for developing teams.Shane details how he felt nothing went right for Kilkenny in Salthill on Saturday (1:20), where a lack of energy and an issue with their puck-out resulted in the county's worst loss since the 1950s, a result Shane joked even Google wouldn’t know.The panel also consider how Galway have risen to their current status, with Shane adding that the real measure of success for minor teams is how many make it to senior, suggesting Galway as an example (11:30).Thoughts also turn to Kilkenny's next fixture, against Shane's own Tipp, where a heavy defeat could see relegation for the 36-time All-Ireland champions, something he feels could further motivate the Premier County for the fixture (13:00).The lack of need for goalkeepers in Salthill was another point of discussion, with Shane noting that of the 52 points scored, not one was a shot on goal, signifying changes in the game (14:40).Limerick v Cork was next on the list of fixtures to discuss and, despite the two-point loss for the Rebels, Shane feels that experiencing Limerick's intensity will benefit them come Championship (16:00).Shane explained that he felt Limerick have returned to their old set-up, with diagonal ball once again at the forefront of their approach. He praises Kyle Hayes for his unpredictable play and shares his thoughts on the 27-year-old’s ideal position on the pitch (28:00).The chat then turns to 1B, and Shane expresses his belief that the division is the perfect platform for teams in transition to develop their panels - though still some way off the level needed to succeed in the Championship (31:30).The group discuss the Lilywhites’ weekend performance, and Shane explains that even without Jack Sheridan they were still able to turn heads, adding that he thinks a big win is coming in Leinster… Wexford? Kilkenny? A few teams are thrown around, but either way Shane predicts a big upset come the Leinster Championship (33:00).Lastly, the Dubs are discussed, with Shane explaining how he feels a League title is on the cards, complimenting the competitive nature of 1B as perfect preparation for the Leinster Championship (38:00).Watch the RTÉ GAA Podcast on the RTÉ Sport YoutubeWeb http://www.rte.ie/sportX: https://x.com/RTEsportFollow us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/rtesportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cathal Mullaney is joined by the dynamic Clare duo of Marty Morrissey and Anthony Daly to preview the weekend's Allianz Hurling League action.In arguably the most tantalising round of fixtures thus far, much may be decided in the top two divisions.Dalo describes Waterford as 'abysmal' in their heavy defeats to Cork and Galway but gives them some hope against a Tipp side who were fairly abysmal themselves in defeat to Limerick (02:00).Galway and Kilkenny (09:30) both need a win to fend off relegation threat. Galway are building strength and depth again thanks to their underage production line, but the same can't be said of Kilkenny, where the well has run dry to an extent.The biggest game of the weekend prove to be the most underwhelming, with real fears that Cork and Limerick (16:00) may engage in a bit of shadowboxing, with the potential for three or even four more meetings in the coming months.Finally to matters in Division 1B (27:00), where Banner hero Dalo fully expects already-promoted Clare to go full bore against Wexford and all but condemn the improving Model County to another year in the second tier.Meanwhile the balance of power may be about to tip in the Carlow-Kildare rivalry.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cathal Mullaney is joined by Eamonn Fitzmaurice and Damian Lawlor to discuss football, with Shane McGrath and Rory O'Neill joining after to look back at the hurling.After a strange weekend of results in the Allianz League, football’s form lines are hard to discern.Football Review Committee mastermind Eamonn reveals a few opportunities at opponent's kick-out and Cathal gets very excited.Armagh lose another tight game (11:00), this time to Mayo. Lack of goals at one end is the problem, coupled with too many at the other. Are they overthinking it?Meanwhile for Mayo the Kobe hype is disguising their growth around the field.Kerry are in a good position, even if they're not pulling up trees (18:00).Roscommon will be bitterly disappointed but Dublin impressed in the Hyde, with Jim Gavin era levels of efficiency in front of goal (20:00).Cork systems failure above in Derry (24:00) as they feel loss of Ian Maguire. Scoring difference could cost the Rebels. Time for pints in Portugal?Meath built on fast start in Newbridge to down their neighbours (27:10). No disguising how impressive the Royals have been so far this year.Kudos to Wexford and Clare as Division 3 looking very interesting (30:00) with a close race to join runaway leaders Down in Division 2.Hurling (33:19) begins with a chat about Shane Long's hurling prowess.Cork get rare win in Nowlan Park without a plethora of potential Championship starters and on a dry day Shane reckons there could have been 5-6 goals for the Rebels.But KIlkenny's lack of attacking talent in pipeline is concerning (41:00).Hurling now a percentage game played by elite athletes (51:00) as team are set up to play a 70:30 ball to their forwards from a pre-determined spot on the pitch.With some proven performers back on the pitch Offaly put in good performance against Limeick (56:20), who've lost Darragh O'Donovan to a shoulder injury.Galway were miles ahead of Waterford in Salthill, whatever the scoreboard might suggest (63:25) as the Déise struggle for consistency.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cathal Mullaney is joined by Peter Canavan, Michael Duignan and Conor Neville to set the scene ahead of another weekend of Allianz League action.Monaghan's race might be run in Division 1, but who of Armagh, Dublin or Galway will join them in the drop?At the other end, Roscommon continue to impress as the seek a trip to a first top flight league final since 1981.In hurling, Offaly are learning tough lessons in Division 1A, while the loser of Galway and Waterford on Sunday might be going down with them.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mikey Stafford steps in for Cathal Mullaney in the presenting seat this week and is joined by Marty Morrissey and Ciarán Whelan at RTÉ HQ to mull over the weekend’s football action. Shane McGrath then joins for the hurling chat, where he laments Tipp’s loss to Limerick in Thurles, an evening that ended with his car stuck in the mud!After Ciarán gets his hurling days confession out of the way, it’s straight into Armagh and Donegal, where the ex Dublin footballer shares that despite Armagh’s record he feels they are still in a good place, though they had many missed chances at the Athletic Grounds on Sunday (4:00).Kickout piggery was back as a topic for another week, and Ciarán comments that he thinks it is overplayed, adding that the lack of control for managers has continued to reduce kicking in games (8:00). While Armagh continue to be low on goals and two pointers, Ciarán expresses his lack of concern for the 2024 All Ireland champions as Ulster football continues to thrive.Possible Mayo Messi Kobe McDonald’s debut is dubbed by Ciarán as “unbelievable”, and he explains how Mayo need a star like David Clifford to have an impact. His young age and future plans are discussed (13:50).Marty makes a big prediction that Monaghan may be contenders for an Ulster final come championship season due to a “softer” draw, but Ciarán reflects on the impact of home losses on player morale and their poor league performances overall (20:30).Dublin’s performance in their defeat to Kerry is described by Ciarán as a “difficult watch”, noting the lack of energy from the Dubs and their slow attacking play (22:50).The Rossies are flying high, and discussion turns to the swings being seen in scorelines and the potential impact of the wind on results. Next up for them is the Dubs at home, which Ciarán feels is a winnable fixture (30:00).Lastly, Division 2 is discussed, with Whelo saying he feels there will be some great games in the coming weeks (31:40).When attention turns to hurling (37:00), Shane dials in to express his disappointment in Tipp’s performance on Saturday and says he would love to be a fly on the wall at their training sessions this week (39:00). Shane also brings an armful of impressive stats to the discussion on Limerick’s puckout retention and feels panel competition is key to their success so far (48:00).He is also full of praise for the pitch conditions at Nowlan Park but expresses concern about a perceived lack of emerging talent in Kilkenny to replace the likes of TJ Reid and Mossy Keoghan (51:00).Attention then turns to Division 1B, where Marty reacts to Clare’s scare against Kildare, adding that he feels Kildare are the “best of the rest” and have a good chance of staying in the division (59:00).Finally, Dublin and Wexford’s spicy encounter is tipped by Shane as an important factor in the Leinster Championship, and he comments that defensive coaches for both sides will be despairing (1:05.00).Watch the RTÉ GAA Podcast on the RTÉ Sport Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH_7bF90ySEVfWLXtn9HlWA Web http://www.rte.ie/sportX: https://x.com/RTEsportFollow us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/rtesportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ahead of this weekend Gaelic football and hurling action, Cathal Mullaney is joined by Dessie Dolan, Damian Lawlor and Liam Sheedy.Cathal, Dessie and Damian look ahead to an Allianz Football League weekend where arguably the Division 2 action outstrips the top tier, with Cork and Meath of particular interest.Dessie reckons Cork need to put together a consistent 70 minutes to compete with a Meath team who have been turning heads.Elsewhere, the lads assess Darragh Canavan's loss to Tyrone, Armagh's keeper conundrum and Kerry's motives as they head to Croker to take on the Dubs.Also, with kick-out 'piggery' supposedly ruling the game, Dessie says a player of Paul Galvin's quality would be worth an astronomical value.Liam Sheedy joins Cathal in studio (36:45) to preview the weekend's hurling.The All-Ireland winning Tipp manager backs Kyle Hayes to fill the centre-back position for Limerick in the long term as the game comes to terms with the value of a sitting 6 versus a deep 11.Waterford will give a good test to their neighbours Kilkenny, who are looking to fill a few positions.After some good performances with no reward, Galway are in need of a result against Offaly.In Division 1B, Lee Chin's return is just in time for the trip to Croke Park, with Wexford dealing with a dearth of leaders, while Clare seem to be getting the old gang back together for one more heist.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cathal Mullaney is joined in studio by Niall McCoy and online by Enda McGinley to break down the third round of the Allianz Football League, a weekend that brought a somewhat unexpected Armagh defeat, a halt to Mayo’s momentum, and a notably aggressive performance from Tyrone.Enda (1:30) reflects on how managers are struggling to exert control from the sidelines amid the heightened chaos created by last year’s rule changes. While the shift has been challenging for those in charge, he notes that it has made the game more enjoyable to play.The panel also digs into Kieran McGeeney’s “piggery” remarks surrounding kickout battles. Former manager Enda explains that while possession is still central to modern football, the days of relying on intricate set plays are fading as teams become less consistent at securing their own restarts.The conversation turns to Roscommon’s growing promise, the group debates whether Mayo’s re-found chaos isn't going to work against teams that maintain possession for long spells. Niall floats the idea that Donegal legend Michael Murphy could evolve into a devastating “super sub” for Jim McGuinness in this year’s Championship, with Enda imagining the lift Murphy could provide if introduced during a difficult spell.The panel then shifts to Tyrone (37:00), with Enda praising the side’s rediscovered aggression, energy, and attacking pace. However, he believes a few more players need to elevate themselves into top-tier roles for the team to fully reach its potential.Finally, the spotlight moves to Division 4, where, with two Ulster men on the pod, the discussion naturally lands on Antrim. Enda shares his view that there is little reward for competing in the division at present and suggests the League may be a tough sell in a dual-code county (38:30). Watch the RTÉ GAA Podcast on the RTÉ Sport Youtube: https://youtu.be/vaOEGUmoV2M Web http://www.rte.ie/sportX: https://x.com/RTEsportFollow us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/rtesportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cathal Mullaney previews the weekend's Allianz Football League action in the company of Dessie Dolan and Conor Neville.But before we get to that Dessie relives some of his favourite Sigerson memories (1:00), including togging out with a (very) young Michael Meehan in NUIG.Kerry v Galway is arguably the pick of the games (3:30), with Galway impressing Conor despite their permanent injury crisis. Arguably Kerry don't carry their usual fear factor at this time of the year, even in Tralee.Strange to think it but Dublin and Monaghan has the feel of a relegation four-pointer (12:30). Monaghan depleted through injuries, retirements and Sigerson. Dublin's possible malaise is different and Dessie believes Ger Brennan is borrowing a move out of Pat Gilroy playbook by threatening to ditch senior players. Anyway, Dessie says Brian Howard would be welcome in Westmeath.Roscommon are travelling under many's radar ahead of Armagh game (17:30), but surprising a few people, especially with no Brigid's players. Diarmuid Murtagh impresses Dessie with his efficiency. However Armagh's running power will test them this week.The hype is with us early this year as Donegal-Mayo (24:40) sees a huge crowd expected in Ballybofey. Ryan O'Donoghue is tenacious and making huge contribution from centre-forward, reckons Dessie.Meath looking buoyant (29:30) ahead of clash with Louth, with their return to centre stage last year reminding Conor of a soap opera villain. Louth dip to be expected after last summer's heroics, says Dessie, who knows a thing or two about ending a long wait for provincial glory.Tyrone's early season form a bit of a mystery reckons Dessie (34:00) ahead of clash with Cavan, with Division 2 safety and Sam Maguire status already on the table.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

GAA commentator and journalist Cathal Mullaney is joined on the sofa by Rory O’Neill with Shane McGrath dialling in to review the weekend's hurling action. Shane gives Darragh Fitzgibbon the nod for hurler of the year at this early stage (04:20) for his impressive performance against Tipperary on Saturday recounting the one time he was unfortunate enough to mark him once retired from inter-county duty. There is some discussion of the impact of the red cards that were given at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, particularly for Shane Barrett (07:50) with Shane saying that a match ban may mean no competitive hurling for five weeks, which should be a concern. The ex-inter-county player also states that he would be in favour of referee's having the ability to watch replays before making sending off decisions and would be in favour of more technology for referees (14:30).Attention then turned to Aaron Gillane's wonder goal for Limerick. Which the panel feel could be a goal of the year contender (29:50). Shane also praises Gillane's game awareness. The discussion of Division 1B was dominated by Kildare with Shane boldly stating he felt Brian Dowling is building a CV that may be worthy of the post of Kilkenny manager at some stage in the future (38:00). Watch the RTÉ GAA Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@rtesport Web http://www.rte.ie/sportX: https://x.com/RTEsportFollow us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/rtesportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

FOOTBALL (0:01)(0:30) Ciarán Whelan gives his thoughts on Dublin’s loss to Mayo adding that he feels older players need to step up, he also comments that the Dubs do seem to be the most inexperienced team so far and highlights the midfield as a possible issue for Ger Brennan that may need to be resolved before Championship season. (10:30) Ciarán comments that he felt Kerry sat deep against Donegal and it was Seán O’Shea that dragged Kerry back into it. He also noticed that Donegal’s panel are operating with more of their big hitters than Kerry. (15:40) Kieran McGeeney’s comments about the lack of communication between referees and management following the three-man breach decision in the first half were discussed by the group with Ciarán stating he felt the call was incorrectly made and urges for a common sense approach going forward. (27:00) Finally Ciarán makes a big prediction that the Leinster Championship will be full revived in 2026 off the back of strong performances from Meath, Kildare and HURLING (28:20)(31:20) Neil McManus joins for part two and the panel kick off by talking about Waterford’s bounce-back performance against Limerick. Neil reflects on Waterford’s intensity and highlights several concerns for Limerick. A question from a listener is answered, on if Wexford is now a Joe McDonagh standard team having been run so close by both Down and Antrim. (52:00) Neil also adds that for smaller panels losing players to injury and illness can be a challenge at this time of year. Watch the RTÉ GAA Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@rtesport Web http://www.rte.ie/sportX: https://x.com/RTEsportFollow us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/rtesportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the RTÉ GAA Podcast, Cathal Mullaney and Rory O'Neill are joined by Dessie Dolan to chat all things football, while Michael Duignan weighs in on the hurling action.With Round Two of the Allianz Football and Hurling Leagues on the horizon, and storms brewing around the island this week, it’s shaping up to be a weekend full of twists across both codes... If the pitches cut the mustard. FOOTBALL (01:00)Unsurprisingly, Tomás Kennedy is once again a key talking point as Kerry travel to Ballyshannon for what promises to be an intriguing clash. Dessie reflects on last weekend’s comments from both managers, noting the fiery responses in post-match questioning. Mayo host Dublin, and Dessie believes this will test both defences, arguing that “the art of defending” needs to be relearned by the current crop of players.He also raises concerns about Galway’s midfield depth, with an increasing list of absentees leaving gaps hard to fill.In Division Two, Dessie feels Tyrone look capable of pushing for promotion, while Meath appear to be slipping back into old habits, particularly around midfield physicality, which could spell trouble for his own county, Westmeath.HURLING (38:00)Michael opens with his home county Offaly, discussing the physical challenges facing younger players as they transition to senior level, especially those recently introduced to the panel.He’s hopeful for a refreshed Limerick this season, suggesting that a shake‑up to their starting XV might inject new energy. Michael also gives his view on the proposed changes to the preliminary quarter‑finals, arguing that after a condensed season, they often feel like a damp squib.The team also dive into the “Davy derby” ahead of Clare v Antrim, and consider what impact a trip to Cushendall might have on proceedings.Watch this episode on RTÉ Sport Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@rtesportWeb: http://www.rte.ie/sportX: https://x.com/RTEsportFollow us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/rtesportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jacqui Hurley and Rory O'Neill are joined by Ursula Jacob and Elaine Aylward to look back on Galway's thrilling All-Ireland Senior Camogie final triumph over three-in-a-row chasing Cork.The Tribeswomen brought a physicality and ferocity to their game which Cork struggled to get to grips with during the early stages of the most gripping All-Ireland final of the season.Ursula and Elaine agree that Cathal Murray was right to use 'disrespect' to fuel his charges, given they have now won three of the last seven All-Irelands before Sunday.As regards Cork's complaints over the refereeing decisions, our pundits agree that Justin Heffernan got the big decisions right and both teams could point to calls that went against them over the 60 minutes.Finally, Jacqui asks Ursula to reflect on her own Wexford side's achievements, as they remian the last team to achieve three All-Irelands in a row.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
