Freelance athletics journalist Cathal Dennehy is here to preview the European Athletics Championship with Phil Egan. They discuss Sharlene Mawdsley's injury, Kate O'Connor's success and much, much more!

Phil Egan is joined in studio by Cameron Hill for this Saturday’s Newsround, reflecting on last night’s League of Ireland action, and looking ahead to tonight’s Zuffa Boxing 10 card in the 3Arena. There is also the small matter of the All Ireland Senior Camogie final to look ahead to.

Off The Ball's Matthew Brennan sits down with a trio of Irish boxing names ahead of a massive night at the 3Arena, as the first Zuffa Boxing card lands in Dublin.

Monaghan's Aaron McKenna talks about finally getting the chance to headline at home with the added carrot of competing for a world title, the frustration of opponents pulling out, and the years spent learning the pro game in America. He also looks ahead to a tricky unbeaten opponent and the “Farney Army” taking over.

One of Ireland's most decorated amateurs Joe Ward reflects on a stop-start spell, big ambitions for titles, and testing himself in sparring with elite operators.

Plus, Aaron's brother, Stevie McKenna on sharing the bill with each other, chasing statement wins, and why this card could be one to remember!
