The lads discuss a bumper weekend of GAA action, with former Cork manager John Meyler, Tipperary legend Declan Ryan and Sligo legend Eamonn O’Hara.
LEINSTER AND MUNSTER LIVING UP TO EXCITING EXPECTATIONS
None of the nine counties who have played two games in the Leinster and Munster GAA hurling championships have full points, underlining just how competitive the ‘round robin’ campaigns are.
And all the indications are that they will continue that way as the battle continues for places in the provincial finals and the All-Ireland series.
In Leinster, Galway, Kilkenny and Dublin have all taken three from a possible four points; Wexford have two points, Antrim one and Westmeath none.
Four of the five Munster counties are on two points, leaving Waterford, who have lost both games so far, at the bottom of the table. Cork and Tipperary have played one game each, while the other three have played two each.
The action continues in both provinces next weekend with three games in Leinster and one in Munster.
Leinster
Saturday: Dublin v Wexford, Croke Park, 5.0; Westmeath v Galway, TEG Cusack Park, 6.0
Sunday: Antrim v Kilkenny, Corrigan Park, 1.0
Munster
Saturday: Cork v Tipperary, Pairc Ui Chaoimh, 7.0
CONNACHT AND MUNSTER FINAL DAY ON SUNDAY
The distinction of becoming the first county to win a senior provincial title in 2023 will fall to Galway or Sligo when they meet in the Connacht final in Hastings Insurance MacHale Park on Sunday (1.45).
It will be followed at 4.0 by the Munster final when Clare take on Kerry in TUS Gaelic
Grounds.
The winners of both games will be first seeds in the All-Ireland draw, with the losers as second seeds.
