Episode 3250: Limerick Quell Rebels, Naked Mountaineering, Maestro Lynch

Liam Rushe and Jamie Wall are in studio again to talk to us about Kyle Hayes’ dominance, Cork’s naive puck-out defence, why Waterford may worry Cork next weekend with a place in the Munster final at stake, and Dublin’s ‘moral victory’ in Nowlan Park.

There’s also the arresting image of a former RTE GAA analyst climbing Everest in the nude, Aidan O’Shea, and more Cian Lynch magic.
Cian Lynch produces the assist with a deft flick. Adam English with the finish as Limerick move clear.
