Episode 3280: Dublin Beat Goliath In An All-Time Shock, Galway Give Up, Kilkenny For The Win?
14-man Dublin’s win over Limerick on Saturday has been described as the greatest upset in championship history – is that hyperbolic or on the money? Is this the end of an era or can we expect to see a less dominant but still title-contending Limerick going forward? And what are Dublin capable of against Cork in two weeks’ time?

It’s probably for the best that Murph’s away this week, because in the other preliminary quarter-final Galway rolled over against Tipperary, offering next to nothing. Now, Tipp take on Kilkenny in the semi-finals, with Jamie’s prediction that Derek Lyng’s men will go all the way this year still hanging in the balance.

Plus there’s the Chris Crummey debate (‘debate’) and the Second Captains slot Louth GAA never knew they needed.
Ger Brennan confirms that the Louth team bus turned the wrong way coming out of Enniskillen where they'd stayed last night, and went the whole way to Sligo.
"Human error in our navigation," he calls it.
Took 2hrs 20m to reach Ballybofey. Would have been 2hrs 10m from Darver
