ON THIS week’s podcast, we are joined by friend of the show Ger McCarthy to talk through the hectic weekend of football.

Clonakilty progressed to the semi-final for the first time since 2021, defeating Newcestown and will face St Finbarr’s in the last four.

There was disappointment for Castlehaven and Carbery though who fell to Nemo Rangers and the Barrs respectively.

O’Donovan Rossa’s relegation from senior A was confirmed with a loss to Clyda Rovers but Beara clubs Castletownbere and Urhan stayed up.

We also have interviews from Eoin Ryan (Clonakilty), Gene O’Donovan (Carbery) and Norman Fleming (Barryroe) included.

This is our 400th episode of the podcast too and sports editor Kieran McCarthy honours the occasion by reflecting on the podcast years after it began in 2019.

ON THIS week’s podcast, we are joined by Courcey Rovers’ Linda Collins as they prepare for a SE Systems Cork senior camogie semi-final against Blackrock this Sunday (2pm) in MTU Cork.

Collins is only back from her travels abroad this year and has already impressed in a campaign where the Ballinspittle club have won four games on the trot.

In their 5-14 to 0-16 quarter-final win over St Catherine’s, Collins struck an astonishing 4-5 from play.

Courceys are strong in other areas too as Saoirse McCarthy, Fiona Keating and Jacinta Crowley provide more quality.

The club are on the hunt for their first final appearance since they won the championship in 2020 but before that Collins joined us on the podcast.

Also on the show, we look back at a great weekend of hurling for Barryroe and Argideen Rangers as well as looking forward to huge football quarter-final ties involving Newcestown, Clonakilty, Carbery, St Finbarr’s, Castlehaven and Nemo Rangers.

The Carbery divisional side’s clash with St Finbarr’s will form part of a double header in Clonakilty on Sunday, 27th.

In senior A, Carbery Rangers progressed straight to the semi-finals where they’ll meet either Kanturk or Kilshannig but Dohenys and O’Donovan Rossa exited the fray.

The latter face into a relegation play-off against Clyda Rovers on Saturday, 26th in Macroom.

In premier intermediate, Bantry Blues avoided a relegation match by the skin of their teeth but Castletownbere are dragged into it against Glanmire on Saturday, 26th in Ballinacarriga.
