Stephanie Punch of St Finbarr's GAA joins Eoin Sheahan ahead this weekends All Ireland Senior Camogie Club Final. The Final sees the Barrs take on Athenry in Croke Park. 

With sports streaming becoming increasingly expensive, one fifth of Irish households are said to be using ‘dodgy boxes’ in order to watch live sport and television. Eoin Sheahan is joined by Newstalk’s Jess Kelly, as well as Clubber’s Jimmy Doyle, LOI TV’s Mark Scanlon and Adam Leventhal of the Athletic to discuss the consequences of the dodgy box, both for the individuals using them, and for the organisations with the streaming rights themselves.

In our final instalment of our GAA "Where we all belong" series, Stephen Gleeson took us to his daughters club Cashel King Cormacs in Co. Tipperary. We get to hear from members, coaches, teachers and Stephen himself about what makes this club so special for all of it's members. 

This is with thanks to the GAA, #GAABelong.

 Ciarán Murphy returns to Off The Ball for the first time in over a decade to talk about his new book, Old Parish: Notes on Hurling. He chats to Eoin Sheahan about the writing of this book, the lessons learned from some hurling icons, the danger and bravery inherent in the game, and what it means to be a country man living in Dublin.
