Croke Park has seen some history and dramatic days and the 2022 club finals at the weekend delivered in spades with Kilcoo’s heroics and Ballygunner’s history-making.

On this week’s Throw-In, John Mullane and Vincent Hogan join Will and Michael to look back on another pulsating weekend of GAA action.

The first club hurling title in Waterford’s history will be a boost to the county for the coming year says Mullane.

“This is coming a long time. Ballygunner have been knocking on the door for long enough. They've been getting to Munster club finals, it's well stated now their dominance in Waterford hurling and they got their just rewards on Saturday. I think it's going to have a massive, massive knock-on effect for Waterford hurling going forwards.”

Meanwhile, Tipp’s win over Kilkenny has increased the unrest in the county under Brian Cody – should they have done a Tyrone on it by replacing a long-term manager? And with Henry Shefflin’s impressive start to his county management career with Galway, the spotlight will be on Kilkenny for the coming months.

Limerick was everyone’s tip for success this year but they have lost their opening two games and it is because the focus is firmly on the All Ireland says Vincent Hogan.

“I don't think winning the League is what matters to Limerick this year because bear in mind, the All Ireland will be over on July 17th. So if you're looking to win your fourth All Ireland in five years, which I think Limerick will be focusing on, that will be their priority.”

The Throw-In will have new episodes every Monday bringing you the best insights and analysis from all the weekend GAA action.
