OTB GAA

Part of the Cork camogie management team, hurling Dónal O’Grady joins Eoin Sheahan to discuss his role within the All Ireland winning team, what it’s like to watch the game from the stands vs on the sidelines, and the rivalry between Cork and Galway.

Welcome to our Sounds of the Summer podcast, a look back, and look forward, to some of the biggest GAA stories which dominated 2026.
Here, former Dublin player and manager Jim Gavin sits down with Colm Boohig and Ger Gilroy for his first interview since his ill-fated presidential campaign.
The eight-time All-Ireland winner opens up on where his resilience really came from — the Air Corps, learning to respond rather than react, and how those lessons carried into dressing rooms and big days.
Gavin also reflects on the “chaotic” years as a Dublin player, his early coaching path, and how close he came to the senior job in 2008.
Plus, his take on the new football rules: blanket defences, the 40-metre arc, the hooter, and making the game more watchable.

Former stalwart of the Cork camogie team Laura Treacy and Waterford camogie star Niamh Rockett join Eoin Sheahan to reflect on yesterday's All-Ireland Senior Camogie final which saw Cork edge out 2025 Champions Galway. They chat about Cork's momentum, the physicality in camogie, fundraising for holidays and much, much more!

Cork’s All-Ireland celebrations roll on, but first it’s a very special stop: Temple Street Children’s Hospital, with the O’Duffy Cup in tow. Hear the emotion as Daire O'Brien and her aunt Kay (a consultant at the hospital) speak about what the visit means for staff, patients, and families — and why these moments put sport into perspective.

Cork’s Hayley Ryan (fresh from the chaos of the closing minutes) relives the tension, the prayers over the final puck, and the pure joy at the final whistle.

Plus, homecoming plans, a West Cork roll call, and why this medal feels like the sweetest one yet.

Orlaith opens up on a nervy start, the half-time reset, and how a key second-half tweak helped unlock Cork’s attack, while her captain & sister Meabh reflects on rebuilding after major turnover, brutal conditioning blocks, and the moment everything finally “clicked”.

Plus, hear Galway boss Cathal Murray’s passionate call for real financial support for Camogie teams — and the panel debate the packed summer calendar and where the women’s finals should sit.
