The GAA Social

Recorded live from Croke park with Mayo, the All-Ireland champions. There are no words

The All-Ireland final, live on BBC TV this weekend between Mayo and Kerry. How it will be won, with Philly McMahon joining Oisin and Thomas. Really good stuff in this

At the All-Ireland hurling final, Ciara Mageean was the guest of the BBC and the GAA. The European champion, addressed the crowd at half-time to a huge applause. Ciara is one of us. Portaferry and camogie to her core. It just turns out, Ciara was an outstanding athlete destined for the top of athletics. As Limerick celebrated a famous All-Ireland win, the voice of Dolores O'Riordan and the cranberries echoed throughout Croke Park. Ciara had a moment. How many of these special days are left? It's a question without an answer. Ciara has stage four bowel cancer. Surgery and Radiotherapy isn't an option, for now its Chemo. It's a devastating blow, but there will always be a flicker of hope. Positivity glows from this special woman. The people of Ireland and beyond love this girl- many have never even met her. Why is that? This is her cancer story, the good and the bad. Ciara is getting married in October to Thomas (Tommy) or is it Tommy (Thomas)? It's honest and we've an update on her current health condition. Ciara Mageean- one of the most special people we've ever had on the GAA Social. A gem

Eddie Keher, one of the greatest hurlers of all-time. Six All-Irelands with Kilkenny, ten leinsters, All-Ireland winning captain, All-stars, Railway cups, met Muhamaad Ali and introduced him to hurling, growing up in old Ireland and what he makes of this years All-Ireland final. Inistioge is home, and what a place it is. Beyond beautiful. The future of the game is discussed, Eddie hopes there will be more hurling in the summer months. July All-Ireland finals are worth a rethink. His granddaughter Caoimhe Keher-Murtagh is playing Camogie with Kilkenny, proud grandfather and Eddie names his all-time greats. St Kieran's College, Team of the century, team of the Millennium, a volt of memories but most striking is this kind, considerate man. He's coming 85 soon, you certainly wouldn't think it. His memory is incredible. This podcast was an absolute delight and once of the nicest days we've worked on the GAA Social. The great Eddie Keher

The All-Ireland semi-finals & Tailteann cup final reviewed, analysed and a bit of craic along the way with Oisin, Thomas Conor McManus and Killian Young

This podcast takes a turn around the 30 minute mark. The Kerry Golden years, the evolution of goalkeeping, dropped because of injury and never really making it back. It's all interesting reflections. Scratch a little, then the brutal impact of sitting on the sub bench becomes clear. It's not an exaggeration to say being a sub, contributed heavily to Paudie O'Mahony becoming an alcoholic. It cost him dearly, something he accepts. He's now 12 years clear from drinking, a fabulous accomplishment. Life is really good now and it leads to some really honest reflections. He loves Kerry, his club Spa, hates goalkeepers hitting frees, it's all Cluxton's fault, explains why Jack O'Shea wasn't good at the start....but then he was. His love of the Dublin team of the 70's & 80's also shines through. Paudie O'Mahony- what a voice!

Cork gone, Clare out but it doesn't even come close to telling the story....

Three time All-Ireland winner and last years champion Jason Forde from Tipperary, sits down with Thomas, Oisin and five-time winner Seamus Flanagan to discuss everything from the semi-finals this weekend, the future of the game and whether we'll see both in their county colours again. a great hour- all ahead of this weekend semi-finals.
