Episode 3317: The Orlagh Nolan Show, Regulation Written In Blood, We Dream The Same Dream
Dublin were convincing winners of the All-Ireland women’s football final last Sunday, and Orlagh Nolan was the undisputed Player of the Match, orchestrating the game from her position in the half-forward line on her first start of the season.

From her ACL injury last June, to her triumphant comeback in Croker, it’s been a hell of a journey for a footballer who played Ireland u-19s soccer with Katie McCabe, Denise O’Sullivan and Courtney Brosnan amongst others – she’s in studio today.
