Darren Kelly and Killian Whelan present the season finale featuring six All-Ireland Finals including the Glen Dimplex Croke Park triple header.

Schedule:

• 0:00 - Dillon Quirke Tribute/Condolences
• 1:35 - Intro and Latest News/Talking points
• 26:35 - Aoife Prendergast, Miriam Walsh, Brian Dowling - Kilkenny
• 34:35 - Review - Senior Final - Kilkenny 1-13 Cork 1-12
• 1:10:40 - Lisa Casserly - Galway Intermediate captain
• 1:12:15 - Reviews - Intermediate & Junior Finals - Galway 0-13 Cork 0-11, Antrim 5-5 Armagh 0-14
• 1:27:50 - Maria McLarnon - Antrim joint captain
• 1:29:55 - Darren and Killian pick their Super 6s

A bumper show/movie concluding the end of the inter county year sees Darren and Killian go through so much. But we start by offering our condolences to the family of Tipperary's Dillon Quirke following his tragic passing last Friday.

We chat news including Roscommon and Mayo's under 16 All-Irelands, Tyrone's last gasp win over Wicklow in the Nancy Murray Cup, a memorable day in Croke Park, what must camogie do to build on the feel good factor of All-Ireland final day and beat that 30,000 target.

Also, we've GAA fixtures clashing with the camogie finals, Paudie Murray's comments on the Sunday Game and Davy Fitzgerald leaving the Rebelette set-up.

We chat to the main stars after all the three All-Ireland wins.  And we start with the senior final as Kilkenny won their first O'Duffy Cup since 2020.  Cork's tactics at the start before "running" back into the game, Kilkenny's big scores when needed including Sophie Dwyer's goals, Cork getting in a winning position and then nearly saving it with Aisling Thompson's late strike.

The intermediate final was a game of two halves.  Galway made it count in the first half though we wonder did they need a sweeper?  That being said, Cork will be kicking themselves for chances not taken after the break.

The Premier Junior Final was the Dervla Cosgrove show (three goals in 84 seconds - four in total) though there were other heroes in Antrim's stunning victory.  What happened to Armagh and can they recover?

Finally, it's that time of the year where Darren and Killian pick their Super 6.  Who will be their players of the year and how many did they agree  with, and how many were different.  And what do you think?  Did they leave a main player out?

Darren Kelly and Niamh Kindlon present the magazine show reflecting on the year, the TG4 All-Ireland senior finals, and the ZuCar minor deciders.

Schedule:

• 0:00 - Latest News/Chat
• 17:00 - Jackie Cahill (LGFA Commerical/Communications Manager)
• 22:10 - Review - Meath 3-10 Kerry 1-7 (All-Ireland Senior Final)

• 1:13:50 - All-Ireland Minor Finals
• 1:21:20 - Joe Carroll (Cork minor manager)
• 1:25:15 - Review/Moments/Super 6

We wrap up the inter county year with a marathon broadcast taking in six All-Ireland finals and our much anticipated 'Super 6.'  Darren and Niamh chat first about Monaghan and Waterford teams from 1997 & 1998 being honoured; who are these "people" that inter county managers insist on proving wrong; and what counties sense a missed opportunity at not being involved on All-Ireland Final day.

LGFA Commercial and Communications manager Jackie Cahill joined us for a chat before all the action; we hear from Laois captain Aimee Kelly after their intermediate success; and Cork minor boss Joe Carroll as they retained their A crown against Galway.

Darren and Niamh dissect the All-Ireland senior final between Meath and Kerry.  Did Kerry allow Meath overwhelm them after a great start?  The Meath brigade continue to mature with a dominant final performance?  Where did the game turn before the two second half goals?  And where to next for both counties?

We also look at the intermediate and junior finals, and the minor deciders that saw success for Cork, Monaghan and Clare.

And finally, Darren and Niamh wrap up with their moments of the year and the announcement of their respective 'Super 6s.'  Will they agree or are we in for some serious debate?  And who they did leave out that deserved a mention?

Darren Kelly and Killian Whelan present the magazine show previewing the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland camogie finals.

Schedule:

• 0:00 - Latest News
• 26:35 - Preview - Antrim vs Armagh (All-Ireland Premier Junior Final)
• 42:20 - Preview - Cork vs Galway (All-Ireland Intermediate Final)
• 57:15 - Preview - Cork vs Kilkenny (All-Ireland Senior Final)

Darren and Killian discuss the latest news including previewing the Nancy Murray Cup final between Tyrone and Wicklow; we look at Cork and Laois' wins at under 16 level and ahead to this Saturday's games in Kinnegad; Susan Earner steps down as Offaly manager; and the referees have been appointed for Sunday's games in Croke Park.

We then move onto those three games starting with Antrim and Armagh at 12pm.  Since the Glens' arrival during the Ulster championship, they've pushed the Orchard in both the Ulster Final and the group stagest.  Jennifer Curry (O'Leary) is chasing a fifth All-Irelanad (eight years after her last with Cork) but Antrim showed steel in getting through Clare the last day after double extra-time.

Then its the meeting of Cork and Galway in intermediate.  Neither county can be promoted but for one, their players will.  Both groups have a depth of talent and future seniros will be on show.  It's their third All-Ireland Final meeting at this level (one win each) but they've never met in Croke Park and plenty of options for both Trevor Coleman and Cathal Murray, it promises to be a thriller!

Finally, it's the clash for the O'Duffy Cup!  Cork and Kilkenny meet in camogie's biggest game for the first time since 2018.  That was the last time the Rebelettes prevailed while the Cats tasted glory in 2020.  Both teams have been written off this year but found a way to survive.  Can Cork's new management of Matthew Twomey and Davy Fitzgerald reach the Holy Grail, or will Kilkenny overcome changes in personnel on the field to succeed?

Darren Kelly and Killian Whelan present magazine show looking at the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland camogie championships.

Schedule:

• 0:00 - Latest News
• 23:45 - Review - Intermediate and Premier Junior Semi-Finals
• 48:35 - Cork 0-15 Waterford 0-10 (Senior Semi-Final)
• 1:06:25 - Kilkenny 1-13 Galway 0-12 (Senior Semi-Final)

Darren and Killian look at the main talking points including no camogie on 'The Sunday Game'; should there be a separate highlights show?; under 16 camogie finals going up against ladies football finals in Croke Park; and is enough being done to promote the games?

It's more a review show this week starting with the intermediate and premier junior semi-finals.  Galway's young guns impress while Cork's intermediates prove their metal.  Jennifer Curry (O'Leary) rolls back the years even if Armagh must do more.  And Antrim and Clare throw up a dramatic, classic contest that proves how strong the game is at playing level.

Waterford came up just short in their quest for a first All-Ireland Final appearance in 77 years but proved they have the potential to match the big teams.  The Aisling Thompson saga dragging out is something the game can do without but what a performance after her introduction as Cork leave it late before getting back into the All-Ireland senior final.

And finally, the All-Ireland champions are out!  Galway come up short agianst a hungry Kilkenny team that left everything on the field.  Are the Cats being underestimated as they are the only unbeaten team left this year?  How come Galway couldn't stick with them?  And should there have been more punishments for incidents surrounding Galway's first half penalty?

Darren Kelly and Niamh Kindlon present the magazine show previewing the TG4 All-Ireland Football Finals.

Schedule:

• 0:00 - Latest News
• 25:50 - Preview - Antrim vs Fermanagh (TG4 Junior Final)
• 44:10 - Preview - Laois vs Wexford (TG4 Intermediate Final)
• 1:03:50 - Preview - Meath vs Kerry (TG4 Senior Final)

We touch on the men's final shoot-out between Kerry and Galway, and some managerial appointments around the country.  We ask why local GAA boards can't leave their schedules free for one day when their county are in an LGFA Final in Croke Park, we talk referees, Aisling McCarthy is an Aussie, Brian Noonan stepping down in Longford and more.

It's a four-parter today starting with the TG4 All-Ireland Junior Football Final.  Antrim and Fermanagh have become fierce rivals recently and while the Saffrons will be favourites, the Erne County can't be ruled out.  We look at what to expect in this Ulster derby who meet for the fourth time this year.

Wexford have been making a habit of breaking Laois hearts and if they can do it for a third consecutive time, they'll finally get their hands on silverware following semi-final wins in last year's championship and this year's Leinster campaign.   The Slaneysiders have developed a more consistent approach but Laois are dangerous when on form as shown in this year's Division Two.

Then, it's on to the senior final between Meath and Kerry.  We've marvelled at the Meath story over the last two years but are Kerry about to write their own tale of success.  History will be made as first time champs the Royals go for back-to-back crowns against the Kingdom seeking to take back their throne after 29 years and claim top spot on the Roll of Honour with 12 wins.

Darren Kelly and Niamh Kindlon present the magazine show looking at the TG4 All-Ireland championships.

Schedule:

• 0:00 - Latest News/Zucar All-Ireland under 16 & minor championships
• 29:20 - Men's Final - Galway vs Kerry, mood in the camp ahead of LGFA Finals the following week

It's a gap week match wise but there's still plenty to talk about.  And we start by paying our respects to Ballymacarbry's Aisling Kennedy who sadly passed away last week.

The Zucar under 16 finals are over with wins for Dublin, Kildare and Armagh.  While it's minor semi-finals night across three grades.  We look back on last week and touch on what to expect tonight.  And we also ask is the pathway for future players as good as it can be?

After the break, we look ahead to the All-Ireland men's football final as Kerry face Galway on Sunday in Croke Park.  The Kingdom are favourites for a first title in eight years.  But the Tribesmen are known for stepping up on the big day even it it's 21 years since their last appearance.

Finally, we get a feel for what the six camps are up to ahead of next week's TG4 All-Ireland Ladies Football Finals.  How are Kerry dealing with the hype?  Will Meath use the blueprint that served them so well the last two years?  Can Laois and Fermanagh deal with the Croke Park experience?  And do Wexford and Antrim have any hang-ups from heavy defeats last September?

Darren Kelly and Killian Whelan look back at the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland senior camogie quarter-finals.

Schedule:

• 0:00 - Latest News/Talking Points
• 17:40 - Kilkenny 2-24 Dublin 1-11
• 27:45 - Waterford 3-16 Limerick 1-12

The business end of the camogie championship season is in full swing.  The intermediate semi-finals have moved to Sunday, there's complaints about the lack of male pundits on social media, Westmeath's appeal fails, and Offaly and Laois are relegated from their respective tiers.

Kilkenny booked their place in the All-Ireland senior semi-finals following a 16-point victory over Dublin.  Adrian O'Sullivan's side made a positive start with Niamh Gannon's goal but 1-11 in 12 minutes put the Cats in control.  Are Kilkenny quietly going about their business?  And what do Dublin need now to build on a solid 2022?

And finally, we look back at Waterford's first semi-final qualification since 1959.  the Deise created many memorable moments in their 10-point win over Limerick?  But manager Derek Lyons wasn't happy withe thier second half.  Could the Shannonsiders have done better or did they overachieve to reach this stage?  Either way, stability is key going forward.

Darren Kelly and Niamh Kindlon review the weekend's TG4 All-Ireland senior football semi-finals.

Schedule:

• 0:00 - Review previous weekend (senior quarter-finals, intermediate/junior semis)
• 26:10 - Meath 0-12 Donegal 1-7
• 55:55 - Kerry 4-10 Mayo 0-13

Due to a week being taken off last week, we've a lot of catching up to do so Darren & Niamh go back to July 9th and that Super Saturday in the TG4 All-Ireland senior quarter-finals - Dublin caught out, Mayo defy predictions, Armagh plan backfires, and Emma Duggan Superstar).  There's also a look at the intermediate and junior semis as Antrim, Fermanagh, Laois and Wexford qualify for Croke Park.

We go back to the action in Croke Park last Saturday starting Meath's two-point win over Donegal.  Again, Emma Duggan stepped up but like  through champions, the Royals find a way to get the job done.  Did Donegal bottle it when they'd an extra player? Meath's leaders asserted themselves but did Donegal's?  Did refereeing decisions play a part?

Finally, we look back on Kerry's impressive victory over Mayo.  How did Cork not breach a loose defence or is that unfair on the slick play from the Kingdom?  Kerry all on the same page and defence were organised?  Can they win first All-Ireland in 29 years?  How do we rate 2022 for Mayo as they missing so many players?  Who were the top players?

Darren Kelly & Killian Whelan present the magazine show looking at the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland championships.

Schedule:

• 0:00 - Latest News
• 19:50 - Shannon O'Doherty (Derry manager)
• 28:10 - Preview - Wexford vs Dublin
• 49:45 - Preview - Galway vs Kilkenny

Darren and Killian look ahead to the start of the Nancy Murray Cup, round-up the latest standings in the Junior and intermediate championships, reflect on the success of Camogie Feile, and the start of the All-Ireland under 16 championships.

Killian catches up with Derry captain Shannon O'Doherty after their win over Cork in the intermediate championship on Sunday in Owenbeg.  It's created an exciting group with five teams still fighting for the three spots in Group 2 leading into the final round this Saturday.

We preview the big match in Bellefield, Enniscorthy on Saturday (4pm) as Wexford host Dublin in the senior championship.  With so many premutations, it's possible neither will make the quarter-finals.   But one certainty is that one of these teams will be out afterwards.  Darren & Killian look at what to expect from this game and the others in Group 1.

And then all eyes are on the clash of unbeaten heavyweights as Galway and Kilkenny go one-on-one in Kenny Park, Athenry on Saturday (4pm).  A semi-final place to join Cork is up for grabs though the loser still has the quarter-final route.  It's always explosive when these two collide and we look forward to it, as well as the decisions to be made in the other Group 2 ties.

Darren Kelly and Niamh Kindlon look back at Saturday's games at MW Hire O'Moore Park, Portlaoise in the TG4 All-Ireland senior football championship.

Schedule:

• 0:00 - Championship Round-Up
• 22:20 - Dublin 1-14 Mayo 0-7
• 43:40 - Cork 2-10 Waterford 1-5

The big names started coming to the front in the TG4 intermediate championship as the semi-finals became known; London shocked Carlow but not enough to reach the final four of the TG4 Junior championship; while Tipperary avoid the relegation play-offs with a win over Cavan.

We look back at Dublin's win over Mayo in Portlaoise.  Jennifer Dunne was superb with a strong supporting cast led by Caoimhe O'Connor.  Dublin looked strong and hungry for victory but did Mayo believe they could get a result?

Then it's Cork against Waterford.  Doireann O'Sullivan led the Rebellettes to victory with 1-7 while Libby Coppinger also found the net.  But the Deise put it up to them with the wind before drawing a blank in the second half, and ultimately crashed out of the championship.

Schedule:

• 0:00 - Latest News
• 27:15 - Preview - Limerick vs Down
• 45:15 - Preview - Antrim vs Galway

Darren and Killian discuss the game's latest talking points including more chat on the hurling/camogie clash in Clare last week, venues have been confirmed for the All-Ireland senior and intermediate knockout stages, and we look at the state of play in the intermediate and premier junior championships.

Our first featured game takes us to Cappamore (Saturday 4pm) as Limerick and Down meet in their own battle of survival.  The Shannonsiders finally got a victory this year against Offaly two weeks ago and another will put them in a strong position.  Down need a win to stay in quarter-final contention and that priceless point against Antrim in Round 2 could be key.

Then it's off to Dunloy (Saturday 4pm) for the intriguing clash between last year's All-Ireland intermediate and senior champions as Antrim entertain Galway.  The Saffrons put in a good shift against Kilkenny only going down by six points and will look for something similiar here.  The Tribeswomen dismissed Down the last day and have three wins from three but this is certainly their stiffest test so far.

Darren Kelly and Niamh Kindlon review the live TG4 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship games from Glennon Brothers Pearse Park, Longford on Sunday.

Schedule:

• 0:00 - Latest News
• 19:10 - Armagh 0-9 Meath 0-9
• 42:10 - Mayo 0-16 Cavan 2-9 (15)

Among the news items are Armagh's Kelly Mallon winning Croke Park/LGFA player of the month for May; Cora Staunton and Brid Stack are heading back to Australia with Greater Western Sydney Giants; a run through of all the results; and could the GAA have avoided clashing with Cavan's LGFA match against Mayo.

We start with the All-Ireland champions Meath and their comeback against Armagh.  Could have a few yellow cards have been shown?  They're definitely was talking points.  A tight physical battle where defences gave away nothing easy, we still were treated to some breathtaking scores by both teams.

And we look back at Cavan's stunning comeback against Mayo and how the Connacht side held their nerve to get the winner.  Despite missing many big names, the green and red did a lot of good things but how did they let an eight-point slip?  And how did Cavan give them a head start in the first place?

• 12:45 - News
• 34:15 - Preview - Cork vs Donegal (TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship)
• 56:25 - Preview - Armagh vs Meath (TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship)

We start the show by chatting to Louth captain Shannen McLoughlin following their one-point win over Clare last week that saw them finish as Group B winners in the TG4 All-Ireland intermediate championship.

Among the news items discussed are no cash allowed on big match days, Hugh Donnelly steps down as Leitrim manager, Na Gaeil Aeracha - Dublin's LGBTQ+ club are special guests at Dublin's Pride Parade, and we chat about Period Poverty, ahead of the re-release of last year's interview with Antrim chairperson Shauna Adams on Monday.

Our first featured game is Sunday's meeting of Cork and  Donegal (2pm Clane) in the TG4 All-Ireland senior championship.  It's their first meeting since the 2021 league semi-final and both will want to lay down a marker and finish as Group D winners.

Then it's the rematch we've all been waiting for - Armagh vs Meath (Sunday, 3.45pm Glennon Brothers Pearse Park).  The Royal County's win in last year's quarter-final sent shockwaves around the country as they went on their stunning journey to All-Ireland success.  What to the Orchard county have in store for revenge?

Schedule:

• 0:00 - Latest News
• 21:10 - Preview - Wexford vs Tipperary
• 39:55 - Preview - Clare vs Dublin

We look back at all the main talking points over the last week.  Clare are not happy about playing Saturday with their hurlers in Thurles, Wexford are on the search for a new chairperson, cruciate injuries take out the Doyle sisters in Kilkenny and we look back at last week's action in the senior championship.

The first of our featured games this is the must-win clash of Wexford and Tipperary on Saturday (2pm Bellefield, Enniscorthy).  How good were Wexford after their win over Clare?  Can Bill Mullaney inspire his Tipperary charges again?  The loser of this game could be out of the championship.

And the same can be said for our second fixture as Clare host Dublin the same day (5pm Cusack Park).  The Banner have just one point from three games but there is a pathway to the quarter-finals.  In contrast, Dublin are coming in under the radar and sit quietly in third place ready to pounce.

Darren Kelly & Niamh Kindlon look back on last Saturday's TG4 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship games from St. Brendan's Park, Birr.

A very special episode as this is our.... 300TH SHOW!!!!

Schedule:

• 0:00 - Latest News
• 25:25 - Anna Galvin (Kerry football captain)
• 37:45 - Review - Kerry 3-10 Galway 3-8
• 59:00 - Review - Donegal 0-10 Waterford 1-5

There's been plenty to chat about over the last week in football including two more big names heading to Australia, Meath manager Eamonn Murray unhappy with Monaghan, the intermediate championship keeps giving with more suprises and stunning results and much more.

Kerry football captain Anna Galvin joins us to chat about their victory over Galway, the work put in behind the scenes over the last three years, the confidence gained from getting one over their rivals, the possibilities ahead and why she doesn't mind travelling from Dublin to Kerry each week.

We look back at Kerry's win over Galway.  The Tribeswomen had a goal disallowed and should video technology be allowed to make that call?  The ticking system led to two late Kerry yellow cards and could have been costly.  Is that outdated?  And while both have plenty to work on, the Kingdom looked to have put in that bit more and were deserving winners.

Finally, it's the turn of Donegal and Waterford.  Not the best game of football we'll see all year but conditions didn't help either.  The Deise will be kicking themselves with the chances they wasted but the Tir Conaill women showed grit to get the job done.  There were yellow cards, phantom frees and a missed penalty among others to discuss.

Killian is on holidays this week so Darren is fronting the show alone and is joined by Tipperary PRO and presenter of The Camogie Report Geraldine Kinane to chat about last week's defeat to Waterford.  Where do Tipperary go now and how Waterford have turned around their fortune after a first day loss to Dublin.

Séamas McAleenan from the Irish News teams up with Darren to look ahead to this week's games in the All-Ireland Senior Championship.  Antrim host Kilkenny in Dunloy, and Down travel to Athenry to face Galway.  What can the last two intermediate champions expect to achieve in their showdowns with the last two senior winners?

After a turbulent year that saw them pull out of the league and change management, new Roscommon boss Liam Gordon oversaw his first win over Limerick in the Premier Junior championship last Saturday.  He chats about agreeing to take over from Frank Browne and what the primrose and blue must to to make progress.

And finally, Tyrone camogie are hosting a fundraising golf classic in Dungannon next weekend (Friday, 17th June) with many super prizes.  Chairperson Tony Cassidy tells us more, where Tyrone currently are and their Nancy Murray Cup ambitions.

It's a bumper show this week with so much to go through starting with the latest news.  Vikki Wall has confirmed she's going to Australia and we look at how this impacts Meath.  While in the intermediate championship, it appears Down and Sligo are going to be relegated as provincial champions Leitrim and Kildare are exempt from the drop.

The Lilywhites went out of the championship following successive defeats to Longford and Roscommon, two teams who survived the relegation play-offs.  Both now take their quarter-final spots and we chat to Longford joint captain Clare Farrell about what this means to them.

There was one game in the junior championship last week and that kicked off in style with Carlow beating 2020 champions Fermanagh.  It sets that group up ahead of this weekend's games.   Carlow captain Ruth Bermingham is with us to chat about their season.

Then we turn our attention to the TG4 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship focusing in on Saturday evening's two LIVE games in Birr.  Donegal face Waterford at 5pm; before Galway clash with Kerry at 7.15pm.  Darren and Niamh look at what to expect.

And we also make our predictions for the overall championship.  Who do Darren and Niamh think will be in Croke Park on July 31st, and who will be the eight quarter-finalists?  All to be revealed.

When there are LIVE matches on TV, we'll give you the full analysis on THE THIRD HALF.

Schedule:

• 0:00 - Latest News inc. Roscommon's Niamh Feeney and TG4 five-year deal
• 0:00 - Dublin 1-7 Meath 1-5 (Analysis - Leinster Senior Football Final

• 45:35 - Weekend Round-Up - Cork Munster Champions, wins for Wicklow, Clare, Laois and Wexford.

It's a special football show this week as Darren Kelly and Niamh Kindlon discuss the latest news before turning their full attention to the Leinster senior football final between Dublin and Meath.

Were the yellow cards merited?  Why wasn't there a free after the decision against Vikki Wall?  How significant was the penalty?  The poor first half and Dublin's inability to build up a commanding lead, and some moments of brilliance from the country's top two teams.  All to be discussed.

Longford produced the biggest shock of the TG4 All-Ireland intermediate championship on Sunday as they beat Kildare in Newbridge.  KFM's Tara Byrne joined us to look back on the result, what it means for Kildare and how costly has the decision been to allow inter county players play club league finals the week beforehand?

Finally, Darren and Niamh are back again for a round-up on all the weekend's football action.  Wicklow suprised Leitrim in Drumshanbo; big win for Clare but Jessica Foy nails a two-pointer from a '45 for Down; Sligo's season goes from bad to worse as Laois show no mercy; another up-and-down thriller with Wexford as they edge out Offaly; and Cork are Munster senior football champions thanks to a 2-11 to 1-9 win over Kerry.

Davy Fitzgerald in an RTE studio while Cork are playing; and new appointments in Croke Park are among the talking points.  And we are joined by Tipperary manager Bill Mullaney to chat about their year and this Sunday's Munster senior semi-final against Clare.

We start our two featured games with the Ulster senior final as Down and Antrim write the latest chapter in their renewed rivalry on Saturday (12.30pm Edendork).  The two rivals will meet again in the championship but they'll only be thinking about the trophy this weekend.

And the Leinster championships get underway and what a senior quarter-final to get it started.  Brian Dowling's Kilkenny head to Kevin Tatton's Division 2 League champions Wexford on Saturday (1pm Enniscorthy).  The Cats will be favourites but the Slaneysiders are on a winning streak.

• 41:25 - Preview - Roscommon vs Clare (Connacht Intermediate Championship)

Darren and Niamh look at the 4 Divisional Teams named  and name who we think we unlucky to miss out.  And we look at the Cork/Kerry Munster men's football fiasco and question how it's affected Kerry vs Tipperary LGFA who are part of the double header;

Armagh and Monaghan are regular rivals but the Orchard County have been the dominant side recently.  We look at what to expect in Saturday's Ulster senior semi-final in Clones (2.15pm);

And we head west again for the unique pairing of Roscommon and Clare.  They've met in minor over the last few years but records are sketchy regarding their last adult meeting.  A win for the hosts in Padraig Pearses  on Saturday (1pm) should book a Connacht Final spot.

Rosie talks about the Breffni county's camogie revival with three national trophies won in three years including their recent Littlewoods League Division 3 success against Wexford.

We talk about how her camogie career began from winning titles with Cavan before the game was disbanded, and captaining Ireland to international glory.

Rosie tells us about her football career that also included All-Ireland glory in 2013, the thrill of playing in Croke Park, how she'd love to do the same with camogie and winning a Mr & Mrs competition with her husband Mark.

And she also names her 'Fantastic Four.'
