They’re the games ‘to let loose’ and that will promise ‘fire and brimstone’ says Eddie Brennan and John Mullane who preview the Munster and Leinster hurling finals on the latest Throw-In Hurling podcast with Sinéad Kissane. How will Limerick contain Tony Kelly? Will Clare regret playing the final in their rivals’ backyard? Is the pressure building on Henry Shefflin to start winning titles? And how much of a loss will Adrian Mullen be to the Cats? Plus, Eddie and John also remember the late Teddy McCarthy, a Cork and GAA sporting icon, who passed away earlier in the week at the age of just 57. Eddie and John will be back on Monday to give their reaction and analysis to the hurling finals so do join them then and if you want to get in touch, send your comments and questions on Twitter at @nedzerb13 and @sineadkissane.

In Ulster and Leinster we had the good and the bad of the provincial football system over the weekend, so do they still have a future despite Derry’s epic win over Armagh? Frank Roche and Conor McKeon join Will Slattery to discuss on the latest Throw-In Football show.
