Cork/Limerick was an occasion for the ages, and Murph was there with today’s guest Jamie Wall to experience the home team’s 3-28 to 3-26 win in a raucous Páirc Uí Chaoimh. 
We reflect on how Cork managed to pick holes in Limerick’s defence, the champions’ come-back, the last-minute penalty that won it, and why Paul Kinnerk was losing it on the line with the Cork bench. 
There has also been some discussion around the fact the game was on GAA GO… Ken, as ever, stands up for the little man. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ep 2939: Super Value Hurling, Murph On Leeside, Taoiseach v Uachtarán, GAANooo

Does it say something about the level of drama in this Premier League title run-in that the most-talked-about thing this weekend was the leaking roof at Old Trafford? 
Or is that just because everybody is making the same unjustified assumption about Tottenham strewing Man City's path to the title with rose petals tomorrow night?
Mark Critchley and Clive Palmer join us to talk through Arsenal's win. Is their season a success now even without the title? What do you have to do to get dropped from this Manchester United defence? And why is everybody - with one or two exceptions - apparently so sure that City are going to cruise through these last two matches? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stan The Gael, Managerial Merry-Go-Round, Quantifying Poyet

Leinster are going to London and before Eoin gave up on his buffering Wi-Fi it looked as if they were cruising. Instead, they somehow found themselves staring down the barrel of one of the great European Cup comebacks - no need to remind you of the other one..
We chat through a huge day for Leinster and Irish sport with Shane Horgan and the BBC's Chris Jones.
A happy Murph details his day in the Salthill Sun and we get ahead of ourselves in predicting just how many medals the Irish Athletics relay team - powered by Rhasidat - will be bringing home from Paris. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
