Episode 2646: Limerick On The Brink, Donal Og’s Game, Neville’s Holidays, Knowledge Is Power

Wed 24th May 2023

Eoin, Ken, Murph, Jamie Wall and Malachy Clerkin

The Munster hurling championship has delivered game after exceptional game this summer, and it’s all been building to a climax this Sunday, as Limerick, the unbackable favourites for this year’s All-Ireland, stare elimination in the face.

Jamie Wall and Malachy Clerkin are in studio and eager to talk about how wrong they were about Limerick, how wrong Jamie was about Clare, where Tipperary have improved, and the flaws in Cork’s attacking game that might well tip the balance of their winner-take-all clash in favour of Limerick.

We also discuss Donal Óg Cusack’s set-to with Joanne Cantwell, and what it says about punditry.

Plus there’s the Ireland under 17’s, “knowledge is power”, Gary Neville discovers the concept of a holiday, and Ken reveals his love of the fjords of Ireland.
