Episode 1664: The Top Scorer In The 2019 Football Championship Is Off To Aussie Rules, Munster Woe, Ulster Grow, Private School Rebuttal

Mon 6th Jan 2020

The top scorer in the 2019 All-Ireland championship was not David Clifford, Seanie O’Shea, or any of the Dublin five-in-a-row heroes… it was Cathal McShane of Tyrone. So it’s a pretty big deal that he’s heading to Australia this month for pre-season training with the Adelaide Crows of the AFL.

If, as seems likely, McShane is on his way, what will that mean for Tyrone – and what will it mean for the future of GAA/AFL relations that one of the best players in the country ups sticks mid-career and heads to the other side of the world? Oisin McConville joins us.

Gerry Thornley and Darren Cave, meanwhile, are ready to tell us about a pretty one-sided inter-pro series last weekend and the wave of new faces pushing for inclusion in a 6N squad, including big Stu McCloskey and a trio of Leinster backrowers.
