On The Echo Sport Podcast this week, Denis Hurley, Barry O'Mahony and Rory Noonan join Éamonn Murphy to celebrate a weekend to remember for Cork hurling teams.

Russell Rovers and Watergrasshill lived up to their billing as favourites in the Munster finals junior and intermediate finals while Sarsfields produced one of the greatest displays in club history to take down four-in-a-row chasing Ballygunner. Shane O'Regan was the MVP with 2-3 from the bench but this was a ferocious collective performance, led by veterans Daniel Kearney and Conor O'Sullivan.

It was a landmark weekend in football too but off the field with a host of new rules voted through to revamp the game. How will that impact Cork underage and junior teams?

They then break down the Reardens Club All-Star selections in hurling, football, camogie and ladies football. Who made the final 15s and which players were unlucky to miss out?

There's also a wrap up of the Junior A and U21 action, including Tracton's triumph under Kieran Kingston.

On The Echo Sport Podcast this week, Denis Hurley and Barry O'Mahony join Éamonn Murphy to discuss the major talking points from a busy weekend of Cork GAA action despite the issues caused by Storm Bert.

Kilshanning suffered a disappointing home defeat to a very strong Austin Stacks outfit, favourites for the All-Ireland intermediate title, but a shadow was cast across their preparations after one of their players was involved in a serious accident in the days beforehand. 

Sport was put into stark perspective by events off the field.

Also away from the pitch, the Cork County Board ordered a replay of the Junior B Hurling semi-final between Aghabullogue and Kilbrittain. 

We look into that decision and what issues in the first game meant the West Cork club's victory didn't stand. 

We break down the latest U21 action in hurling and football. 

There are two Junior A football semi-finals on the horizon, delayed due to the Cork footballers' post-All-Ireland team holiday in Miami, where Castlemartyr meet Ballygarvan and Inniscarra take on Kilmacabea. 

For hurling fanatics, Russell Rovers, Watergrasshill and Sarsfields all have Munster finals to look forward to, showing what an unseasonably busy December it is.

We're at the knockout phase of the Harty Cup and the final group games in the Corn Uí Mhuirí. Are Midleton CBS, Christians or the AG genuine Harty contenders and could a Cork school end the Kerry monopoly in the football?

On The Echo Sport Podcast this week, Denis Hurley and Barry O'Mahony join Éamonn Murphy as we head to the business end of championship.

Castlehaven met St Finbarr's for the fifth semi-final in a row and the county champions were worthy winners this time, led by Brian Hurley who landed an incredible 0-7 from play. Nemo Rangers were far too good for Mallow but will still be underdogs for the county final. They'll be delighted by that!

It'll be Knocknagree versus Carrigaline at Senior A, after a dominant display by the Duhallow side against Dohenys and penalty-shootout drama in Carrigaline against Kanturk.

They pick a Player of the Week, with Castlehaven's talisman Hurley, Carrigaline penalty shootout hero Ryan Delaney and Nemo veteran Paul Kerrigan, the leading candidates.

There's a big preview of the two huge county finals next weekend: Sars v Imokilly and Glen Rovers v Blarney. Where will those deciders be won and lost and who are favourites?

On The Echo Sport Podcast this week, Denis Hurley and Barry O'Mahony join Éamonn Murphy after a cracking weekend of Cork club GAA action where the torrents of rain didn't impact on the quality of the games.

It's Imokilly against Sarsfields in the Premier Senior final, a repeat of last year's semi which the club side won after a dramatic late Luke Elliot goal. The divsion look unbeatable right now but Sars are going for consecutive doubles.

It'll be Blarney versus Glen Rovers at Senior A as the favourites lived up to their billing but only after two armwrestles in the Páirc.

Carrigaline showed their fortitude to stave off a Ballincollig comeback in PIHC and Denis Walsh's St Catherine's are back in the Premier Junior decider. 

On the football front, Nemo Rangers head into a semi-final with Mallow but only after Ross Corkery's penalty knocked out Clon, with Gabriel Rangers getting past Mitchelstown at Intermediate A.

They pick a Player of the Week, with St Catherine's Rory Galvin, Imokilly's Brian Lawton, Mark Coleman and Conor Lehane, as mercurial as ever for Midleton even in defeat, the leading candidates.

Plus they look ahead to the Rebel Óg Premier Minor Hurling finals, where it's Glen Rovers v Sars and St Finbarr's-Shandrum.

They look at St Finbarr's victory over Ballincollig and ask if they're better placed coming in against county champions Castlehaven now they've had a tough test. The other side of the draw is on hold, after the board postponed four games on Sunday.

In Senior A, Dohenys delivered one of the best performances of the weekend but how can you pick between the Dunmanway side, Knocknagree, Kanturk and Carrigaline as champions-elect?
