On this week’s episode, sporting legends Tommy Durnin, Lizzie Murphy, Stephen Coen and Daire Cregg join Sarah McIntosh live from the Ploughing in Tullamore to talk all things sport and farming.

We have a special Young Stock Podcast this week as we record live at the National Ploughing Championships in Screggan, Co. Offaly. 

Sarah McIntosh is joined by four sporting legends who have a strong tie to agriculture and the land. 

Louth footballer Tommy Durnin, who also owns a suckler farm, discusses the recent success of the team winning the Leinster Senior Football Championship for the first time in 68 years. Along with this he gives some advice to young players.

Irish Hockey goalkeeper Lizzie Murphy, who studied agriculture in UCD, is now working as a tax associate for PwC Ireland. She discusses what it was like travelling to the Tokyo Olympics during COVID-19 and the importance of encouraging women in sport.

Stephen Coen, the general manager of Senus and a senior footballer for Mayo, also joins us to discuss dealing with disappointment and encouraging the next generation of players into the squad.

Finally, the newest edition to the Irish Farmers Journal dairy team, Daire Cregg, who is also playing on the Roscommon football team joins us to discuss the opportunities for Irish athletes abroad and his own experience studying agriculture in UCD.
