Happy Thursday and welcome back to Word on the Street!
This week we’re chatting to 2026 Irish Open champion Conor Gannon after an extraordinary summer that’s seen him go from grinding on the road to lifting his first pro title at home in Carrickmines — as an unseeded player, and the first Irish winner since 2018.
Conor explains how hard Futures tennis really is, how a win over Bernard Tomic flipped his belief, and why Dublin events matter so much for Irish players.
Plus: the relief of serving it out in front of family and friends, Davis Cup pride, and the big next goal — Grand Slam qualifying.
Word On The Street is on Off The Ball with Braeburn Coffee.

You Have To Be There is BACK, as Colm Boohig is joined by Andy Cantwell — the man behind those painfully awkward (and painfully accurate) Overlap edits that keep popping up on your feed...

Andy breaks down how the sketches come together, from hunting for the perfect Roy Keane reaction to adding that “teaspoon hits the floor” moment, plus what it’s like when the actual Overlap crew are watching along.

And yes, we do eventually get into the five picks: Anfield for Liverpool v Man City, McGregor’s Dublin night, a flying armbar that brought the house down, peak “six-year sports” glory, and an all-time Irish one-liner… at a funeral.
