All About The Game

This week, Podge and Seán are joined by Carlow GAA star Darragh Foley. The lads chat about Darragh’s record breaking playing career, growing up alongside Seán, and the proud legacy of his home club, Kilbride.

They dive into life inside Carlow GAA, from the many managers Darragh has played under to the influence of current boss Joe Murphy. After stepping back from inter-county football following 15 seasons, Darragh shares how he’s preparing for a return to the Carlow panel.

The conversation explores the role of a manager in sport, Carlow’s competitive history, and the commitment it takes to play winter football, before touching on Seán’s own return to coaching with Leinster after a break.
