Frank Roche and Dick Clerkin joined Will Slattery in the wake of an All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final round that saw Mayo crash out, Roscommon surprise and Louth make history. Dick breaks down what he sees as Mayo’s true undoing - not scoring enough before half-time, and he believes that the county can’t have too many complaints after a disappointing end to their season on penalties. Frank witnessed Roscommon shock Tyrone at the weekend, and he recounts why their first half was one of the finest displays in county history as Tyrone joined Mayo in the exit pile. Meanwhile, Derry could be Kerry’s undoing, the lads aren’t betting much on Armagh, and is Louth boss Ger Brennan worthy of winning Manager of the Year?

Meanwhile, confusion reigns around the scheduling of All-Ireland quarter-finals as Wexford’s game could be in an inconvenient spot - Eddie asks if broadcasters are prioritising events with no Irish interest over our own national games.

John Mullane, Eddie Brennan and Michael Verney review a weekend of finals as Limerick did what may ever be done again, sealing their sixth Munster title in a row. John is quick to express his belief that Nickie Quaid could be hurler of the year, with Eddie adding that his ‘quarterback’ style has been a strong point of Limerick’s. The set-up around the Treaty men has also been a talking point, so naturally we broke down what having a 53-person backroom does to a team, and whether the mention of that just builds aura. Plus: How warm-ups matter in a power cut; Dublin gave Kilkenny too much time; stories of broken bones. The Throw-In hurling show is brought to you by eir.

John Mullane, Eddie Brennan and Michael Verney team up to preview a weekend of finals - Kilkenny v Dublin in Leinster, Clare v Limerick in Munster, and Offaly v Laois in the Joe McDonagh Cup. Proud Offaly man Verney was delighted to touch on the county’s under-20 All-Ireland triumph, which Mullane and Eddie highlighted as a fantastic occasion for hurling. But the sense of occasion for this weekend’s finals has been held back in the team’s view, and Mullane is also keen to highlight his views on the rising costs of being a fan as the price of attending an All-Ireland final rises. For this weekend, we chat how Clare are under pressure, the match-ups that could topple Limerick - and how Dublin have a golden opportunity to be provincial champions.
