The Clash Act GAA Podcast

A living legend in Carlow hurling circles, Pat Coady is our next guest on The Clash Act.

From growing up through hurling and football, through the most interesting of inter-county debuts, to setting the county's scoring record (still held) to the current state of play of the game and this year's championships, there's plenty to talk about with the St. Mullins man.

Clareen's Joe Dooley was born into a family steeped in hurling, with a love for the sport that spread to brothers Billy, Johnny and son Shane. 

A holder of three All-Ireland titles with Offaly, six Leinster titles, a league title and an All-Star and numerous schools/colleges honours, Dooley is another former player turned manager coming to The Clash Act with the 'legend' tag attached. 

In this episode we'll chat about his hurling upbringing with Seir Kieran through to his inter-county debut, his time as manager with Tullamore, Toomevara, Seir Kieran and ultimately taking on the Offaly job in 2007.

All that and more.

Young Irelands and Kilkenny corner-forward Charlie Carter is our guest for this episode of The Clash Act, hosted by Eddie Scally.

From humble beginnings playing primary school hurling in Gowran to leaving St. Kieran's College early for the family farm, to his breakthrough into minor grade and his time in the senior camp with Kilkenny, there's so much to talk about.

Carter was part of that famed 1996 Young Irelands team who lifted the Kilkenny senior county title, a feat repeated in 2002 that would see him named captain of Kilkenny for a time in 2003.

In more recent years, he's been coaching with Myshall (2022) and has a keen eye on the breeding of horses that ultimately led to running a winner at the Leopardstown Christmas Festival in 2021.

We'll cover all that and more in this edition of The Clash Act.

Wexford All-Star hurler Tom Dempsey is the next guest on The Clash Act with Eddie Scally.

Ryan O'Dwyer is among a small number of players who have represented two counties at senior level in hurling. 

From his club days with Cashel King Cormacs and senior hurling with Tipperary to a move to Kilmaud Crokes in 2011 and a seven-year run with Dublin's senior hurlers, O'Dwyer has been around the block over the best part of the last 20 years. 

He announced his retirement from the inter-county game in 2018, took up rugby, moved into coaching in Meath and more. 

It's all up for discussion on this episode of The Clash Act, chaired by Eddie Scally.

Ballyfad's Mattie Forde is this episode's guest as we walk through career highlights for Mattie in the purple and gold of Wexford.

From his club life with Kilanerin-Ballyfad, to becoming Wexford's first-ever All-Star, to the top scorer in the Championship, to representing Ireland in back-to-back international rules series, Mattie Forde is arguably the greatest footballing export ever to come out of Wexford and one of the top players of his generation.

From those games against Galway, Offaly and Armagh to highlights at both ends of his career to the nightmare of marking Derry's Sean Marty Lockhart, there's plenty to savour with Mattie Forde opening the book on his club and inter-county journey.

From his early days in a Kilkenny jersey to losing this year's All-Ireland club hurling final with the last puck of the ball, Colin Fennelly talks his time in the Kilkenny jersey and his continuing club career with Ballyhale Shamrocks.

The Clash Act is back for season 2, starting Friday 15 April and keeping you company across the championship season.
