ON THIS week's podcast, we welcome new Cork LGFA captain Emma Cleary onto the show to talk about her new role.

Cork got their Lidl LGFA League Division 1 off to a start with a 1-10 to 2-7 draw against Kildare in MTU Sports Grounds.

Joe Carroll’s team are a newly promoted side having achieved promotion from Division 2 in 2025.

Cleary won the Cork club championship with Éire Óg during the winter and will be hoping to show her leadership qualities in the county season.

We also touch on the Cork footballers and their winning start to Division 2 of the National Football League against Cavan (0-24 to 2-17).

A Steven Sherlock late two-pointer free was enough to see off a Cavan side who were seven points up with 12 minutes to play.

John Cleary’s side face Louth in Drogheda this Sunday (1.30pm).

As for Ben O’Connor’s hurlers, they romped to victory over Waterford (3-25 to 1-17).

They will travel up to Galway this Saturday (7pm) for the second round of Division 1A.
