Has Jack Byrne done enough to get into Stephen Kenny's Irish squad?

Ballymun win their first Dublin SFC since 2012 in what was an emotional win for the club.

Our first weekend review as we look back at the weekend's sport action. 

Controversial last couple of days in the Premier League we chat about the Irish players starting to get game time in the league. VAR handballs and have we gone too far? Are there too many goals?

We also discuss Rovers and Dundalk's recent performances in Europe and can Dundalk get to the play off round?

Bryson DeChambeau destroyed the US Open field in such a manner that the future of golf is under question due to the lengths he is now hitting the golf ball. Can he do it at Augusta?

Two disappointing defeats in very different ways for Leinster and Ulster. Is the Pro 14 standard not high enough?

Finally, we chat about Sam Bennett's sensation Green Jersey victory at the Tour De France and there's also club championship review including Cuala winning a 5th Dublin title in 6 years.

Former Dublin Minor/U21 Hurling keeper Cormac Ryan is our guest on today's show.

In 2011, Cormac played in an All-Ireland Minor Final. He felt dizzy in a club county semi-final a few weeks later. The following months, Cormac was in and out of hospital with an irregular heart beat and had to wear a pacemaker.

Cormac chats to us about that near death experience, hurling, Cycle for Life, mental health and men's body image. 

Cormac is also cycling 5000km from LA to New York in April 2021 for Bodywhys: The Eating Disorders Association of Ireland and Pieta House. To donate: https://www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/11384016_cycle-across-america.html
