The end of the Leinster and Munster round-robin series brought no shortage of on-field drama, sideline questions and top level action in championship hurling. Michael Verney was joined by John Mullane and Eddie Brennan to break down a weekend that saw Limerick top the Munster table, Galway get dumped out and Dublin show true strength. Questions over management have begun to crop up, as John states his support for Davy Fitzgerald staying on. Meanwhile, the crew debate whether Liam Cahill gets enough credit for taking the Tipperary job, and ask whether family commitments may contribute to Henry Shefflin’s time in Galway drawing to a close.

On this week’s Throw-In football show, Dick Clerkin and Donnchadh Boyle join Will Slattery to break down Galway’s bounce back into form over a Derry team still reeling from a bruising Ulster campaign. Donnchadh explains why he believes that despite their loss, the body of work put in by Mickey Harte’s men does not rule them out of the running. Elsewhere, Kerry - despite having what Dick said was a ‘quiet’ David Clifford ‘ made light work of Monaghan in the first of their All-Ireland round-robin clashes. Meanwhile, we look ahead to some of next weekend’s All-Ireland clashes, where the team give their thoughts on where Donegal and Tyrone sit among the challengers for Sam Maguire.

Controversy reigned in Clare’s one-point win over Waterford, but it sets up a thrilling final weekend. John Mullane and Eddie Brennan join Michael Verney to break down the weekend’s action. John states his case for more referees being involved in senior games as ‘players deserve the best’, while Eddie believes that with Hawk-Eye, it should be ‘everywhere or nowhere’. In terms of the runners and riders, Cork have hit the type of form that could get Leesiders dreaming again, while Waterford are poised to threaten Limerick’s drive for five. And in Leinster, Kilkenny and Wexford prepare for a game set for both sides to throw the kitchen sink - the only difference is that Wexford are coming in off the back of a ruthless victory, where Kilkenny could barely defeat the Dubs.

On this week’s Throw-In football show, Colm Keys and Frank Roche join Will Slattery to break down Donegal’s triumph in the Ulster final after what was a supremely difficult route to the decider.

Meanwhile, Dublin won another Leinster title, but they were not without challenge as Louth pushed them all the way. The team outline why Con O’Callaghan is now the front-runner to be player of the year.

The magic of the Munster championship served up one of the greatest hurling clashes in history as Cork pipped Limerick - John Mullane and Eddie Brennan join Michael Verney to break down the weekend’s action. The excitement is evident after the entertainment in Páirc Uí Chaoimh, where Cork got their tactics right but now face the risk of being drained for the next game against Tipperary on Sunday. But the GAAGO controversy was a negative around the ‘epic’, and John makes his passionate case for more free-to-air games. Meanwhile, Kilkenny are in jeopardy after a surprising draw at Carlow, one the Barrowsiders fully deserved. So ahead of their trip to Dublin this weekend, Eddie warns that the men from the capital will be a huge challenge for Derek Lyng’s men.

And let’s not forget Antrim’s shock win over Wexford and what it means for the Leinster championship.

Plus, looking ahead to next weekend, Waterford v Tipperary promises plenty of fireworks between Davy Fitzgerald v Liam Cahill but with the two big hurling games, why are both on GAAGO?
