Imelda Hobbins, captain of the first ever Galway Camogie team to win an All-Ireland Final joins Rachel Sheehan to reflect on her experience as an All-Ireland champion and look ahead at this weekend's All-Ireland Senior Camogie Final between Cork and Galway.

Jonathan Higgins was in Galway for their open training session ahead of the All Ireland Camogie Final, where he spoke with manager Cathal Murray, as well as players Roisin Black and Ailish O’Reilly. 

Meanwhile, RedFM’s Orla O’Leary spoke with Cork manager Ger Manley and captain Meabh Cahalane about the recent rivalry with Galway ahead of Sunday’s All Ireland final.

Cork and Galway go head-to-head for the third year in a row in the All-Ireland Senior Camogie Final — and this time it really does feel like a trilogy finale in Croke Park with throw-in at 4:15pm.

996 All-Ireland winner Aoife Linskey joins Colm Boohig & Enda Coll to break down the key match-ups, Galway’s watertight defence, Cork’s new faces and running game, and the push for a record crowd of 35,000!

Welcome to our Sounds of the Summer podcast, a look back, and look forward, to some of the biggest GAA stories which dominated 2026.

In this episode, Eoin Sheahan was joined in studio by RTÉ Head of Sport Declan McBennett back in July to unpack the rise of GAA Plus, what fans can realistically expect from the next rights deal, and why the “more free-to-air games” debate keeps flaring up.

They discuss overlapping throw-ins, condensed seasons, accessibility for older viewers, and whether every match should be available live – even if it’s only one camera and a commentator.

Meabh de Burca & Hannah Tyrell join Will O’Callaghan to break down Sunday’s All Ireland Senior Ladies Football final, which finished in controversial fashion as Kerry had thought they’d won it with a last-minute goal, but a square ball was called, resulting in Galway ending their 22 year wait for their second All Ireland!

Jonathan Higgins catches up with Daniel Moynihan, Kate Geraghty, Siobhan Divilly as well as Louise & Nicola Ward after Galway's All Ireland win against Kerry, as they make their way to Crumlin's Children Hospital.

Galway are back on top — their first All-Ireland Ladies Senior Football title since 2004 — and Jonathan Higgins joins Colm Boohig & Enda Coll to relive a final that swung wildly in the last seconds. From the hooter chaos, the advantage call, and the square-ball drama, to Leanne Coen’s two goals and the defensive grind that defined the day.

We dig into Daniel Moynihan’s “three-year plan”, how Galway finally found togetherness after years of heartbreak, and why Kerry will be left frustrated by how close they came.

Plus, reaction from Kate Slevin and Siobhán Divilly, and a broader chat on what the new rules (and the two-point arc) are doing to the spectacle.
