They may not have made it all the way to Down manager Conor Laverty’s screensaver (yet), but Pat Spillane, Dick Clerkin and Michael are compelled to review some of their early predictions around the provincial championships in this week’s Indo GAA gaelic football podcast. They analyse how the Mourne men dismantled Jim McGuinness’s Donegal, discuss how kick-outs were a key component in the Connacht championship games - and what you might expect from the fixtures this weekend. They also expand on how ticket prices may have had a part to play in some of the sparsely populated stands over the weekend, and the fallout around The Tailteann Cup draw.

John Mullane and Pat Ryan are back with Michael on this week’s Indo GAA hurling podcast, breaking down the Munster Championship battle between Cork & Limerick in Páirc Uí Chaoimh - where the ‘rebel roar’ was in full voice. They discuss the transformation in Cork’s tactics since the league final, the red card for Limerick’s Cian Lynch and the free-flowing referring nature of the game. The lads all chat through Waterford’s last gasp draw versus Tipperary, the Leinster championship as the ‘poor relation’ to their Munster counterparts and how the GAA may be missing a trick by not having these games on TV.
