The Monday Club

Neil Loughran is joined by Armagh legend Stefan Campbell and Cahair O’Kane to reflect on a big weekend for the Orchard county.

They give their verdict on Sunday’s Ulster Championship final at Clones, with Kieran McGeeney’s side getting their hands on the Anglo-Celt Cup for the first time in 18 years.

‘Soupy’ reflects on a “sweet” victory for Armagh over Monaghan, and what it means to the team after so much heartache in the competition.

Also on this week’s podcast, Neil, Stefan and Cahair look back on Sunday’s Leinster final which saw Westmeath overcome Dublin, and ask if the Dubs’ fear factor is well and truly gone.

And there is also plenty of chat on the All-Ireland series getting under way, including this weekend’s huge clash between Kerry and Donegal, a repeat of last year’s final.

The Irish News’ Neil Loughran, Andy Watters and Cahair O’Kane discuss a big week of GAA.

They assess the short and long-term implications of the decision to give GAA+ the rights to show Kerry vs Donegal ahead of RTÉ.

Ahead of this weekend’s Ulster final, there’s an in-depth look at how Monaghan might find a way to clamber over an Armagh team that has lost the last three finals on the bounce.

There is also a look at Roscommon’s gripping win over Galway that saw them complete a clean sweep of senior, U20 and minor championship titles in Connacht.

In a bumper podcast, Neil Loughran, Cahair O'Kane and Kenny Archer chat about Monday’s All-Ireland draw - and a huge tie of the round.

They also look back on an ‘absolutely insane’ weekend of Ulster Championship action, punctuated by Monaghan’s stunning win over Derry.

Then there was Sunday’s one-sided romp as Armagh dismantled Down in the second Ulster semi at Clones.

There’s a nod to the quality of personnel at Kieran McGeeney’s disposal, and what lies ahead for Down in the Tailteann Cup following a hugely disappointing afternoon at the office for Conor Laverty’s side.

Also on this week’s episode, what next for Antrim’s hurlers as the uncertainty surrounding Davy Fitzgerald’s position continues to unfold?

On this week’s show Neil Loughran is joined by Cahair O’Kane and Paul McConville.

They look at Down’s shock Ulster Championship win over Donegal and dig deep into exactly how manager Conor Laverty plotted the downfall of the Ulster champions.

The Mournemen now look forward to an Ulster semi-final with fierce rivals Armagh and the panel size up the task facing Down.

We also take a look at the other Ulster SFC semi-final between Derry and Monaghan and a glance at how the other provincial championships around the country are progressing.

The Irish News’ Neil Loughran and Cahair O’Kane are joined by Armagh legend Stefan Campbell to dissect all the main talking points from the GAA.

They pore over the weekend action and a shock in Leinster which could have implications for Down’s All-Ireland aspirations.

Westmeath’s win over Meath puts them one win away from a Leinster final and crucially a spot in the Sam Maguire at the expense of the Mournemen, who occupy the number 16 slot at present.

Things don’t get any easier for Conor Laverty’s men as they make the trip to Letterkenny to face reigning Ulster champions Donegal.

The panel discuss what chances Down have of pulling off an upset and what they can learn from last year’s Ulster semi-final defeat to Donegal.

There’s also a look at the other Ulster clash this weekend between Armagh and Fermanagh and why their narrow win over Tyrone might just be the perfect preparation for Kieran McGeeney’s men as they continue their quest for a first Ulster title since 2008.
