Our special guest on this edition of THE FAIR GREEN is 1997 All-Ireland winner and co-host of SPORTSDAZ FOOTBALL Niamh Kindlon.

We chat about the recent Monaghan reunion in Croke Park and Niamh coming into an All-Ireland winning squad as a 15-year-old back in 1997. As a nine-year-old, she played in a challenge game that inspired ladies football to be formed in the county and she also holds 10 underage county titles with Magheracloone.

Niamh talks about basketball, soccer and any sport, the influence of her Dad Maurice who coached her to a first All-Ireland underage title, the heartbreak for Monaghan since with five All-Ireland disappointments.

The three-time All-Star also discusses those later games and not being fully part of the starting team, finishing up inter county before injuries forced retirement, her love for her club and how they are just coming out of a very difficult when a sinkhole destroyed their facilities, coaching underage teams with her sister Fiona, and future managerial ambitions.

And she also names her 'Fantastic Four.'

Upcoming guests on the FAIR GREEN include Rosie Crowe McKeever (Cavan), Caitriona Casey (Waterford) and Deirdre Johnstone (Dublin)

Today's special guest on THE FAIR GREEN is one of the most decorated athletes in the history of Gaelic Games, Rena Buckley from Cork.

Rena chats about an amazing career that saw All-Ireland senior football success with her club Donaghmore at just 14-years-old in 2001, to a junior title in 2019.

In between, Rena won 18 All-Ireland senior inter county titles between 2005 and 2017. She chats about camogie being her original first love and signing off by captaining Cork to glory in her final year.

We chat family, college, London, Inniscarra, inspirations, Young Scientist, Ashbourne and O'Connor Cups, and meeting Harry and Meghan.

And as a dual All-Ireland winning star, Rena selects her 'Super 8.'

THE FAIR GREEN continues over the next few weeks with guest including Niamh Kindlon, Rosie Crowe-McKeever and Caitriona Casey.

Today's special guest is Clare's two-time All-Star recipient and All-Ireland winner Marie Gallagher.

Marie chats about moving from Mayo to Gort before joining the Clare family to ensure success with Fergus Rovers and the Banner.

She discusses playing in Croke Park, playing at senior level, how Ballymacarbry denied similar success at club level, moving to Dublin and representing them before finally puttin on the green and red jersey.

And the Republic of Ireland international chats about being a women's player during Jack Charlton's Ireland, meeting Kenny Dalglish and those who helped her achieve her ambitions in both sports.

And she also names her 'Fantastic Four.'

Darren Kelly and Killian Whelan present the season finale featuring six All-Ireland Finals including the Glen Dimplex Croke Park triple header.

Schedule:

0:00 - Dillon Quirke Tribute/Condolences
1:35 - Intro and Latest News/Talking points
26:35 - Aoife Prendergast, Miriam Walsh, Brian Dowling - Kilkenny
34:35 - Review - Senior Final - Kilkenny 1-13 Cork 1-12
1:10:40 - Lisa Casserly - Galway Intermediate captain
1:12:15 - Reviews - Intermediate & Junior Finals - Galway 0-13 Cork 0-11, Antrim 5-5 Armagh 0-14
1:27:50 - Maria McLarnon - Antrim joint captain
1:29:55 - Darren and Killian pick their Super 6s

A bumper show/movie concluding the end of the inter county year sees Darren and Killian go through so much. But we start by offering our condolences to the family of Tipperary's Dillon Quirke following his tragic passing last Friday.

We chat news including Roscommon and Mayo's under 16 All-Irelands, Tyrone's last gasp win over Wicklow in the Nancy Murray Cup, a memorable day in Croke Park, what must camogie do to build on the feel good factor of All-Ireland final day and beat that 30,000 target.

Also, we've GAA fixtures clashing with the camogie finals, Paudie Murray's comments on the Sunday Game and Davy Fitzgerald leaving the Rebelette set-up.

We chat to the main stars after all the three All-Ireland wins. And we start with the senior final as Kilkenny won their first O'Duffy Cup since 2020. Cork's tactics at the start before "running" back into the game, Kilkenny's big scores when needed including Sophie Dwyer's goals, Cork getting in a winning position and then nearly saving it with Aisling Thompson's late strike.

The intermediate final was a game of two halves. Galway made it count in the first half though we wonder did they need a sweeper? That being said, Cork will be kicking themselves for chances not taken after the break.

The Premier Junior Final was the Dervla Cosgrove show (three goals in 84 seconds - four in total) though there were other heroes in Antrim's stunning victory. What happened to Armagh and can they recover?

Finally, it's that time of the year where Darren and Killian pick their Super 6. Who will be their players of the year and how many did they agree with, and how many were different. And what do you think? Did they leave a main player out?

1:21:20 - Joe Carroll (Cork minor manager)
1:25:15 - Review/Moments/Super 6

We wrap up the inter county year with a marathon broadcast taking in six All-Ireland finals and our much anticipated 'Super 6.' Darren and Niamh chat first about Monaghan and Waterford teams from 1997 & 1998 being honoured; who are these "people" that inter county managers insist on proving wrong; and what counties sense a missed opportunity at not being involved on All-Ireland Final day.

LGFA Commercial and Communications manager Jackie Cahill joined us for a chat before all the action; we hear from Laois captain Aimee Kelly after their intermediate success; and Cork minor boss Joe Carroll as they retained their A crown against Galway.

Darren and Niamh dissect the All-Ireland senior final between Meath and Kerry. Did Kerry allow Meath overwhelm them after a great start? The Meath brigade continue to mature with a dominant final performance? Where did the game turn before the two second half goals? And where to next for both counties?

We also look at the intermediate and junior finals, and the minor deciders that saw success for Cork, Monaghan and Clare.

And finally, Darren and Niamh wrap up with their moments of the year and the announcement of their respective 'Super 6s.' Will they agree or are we in for some serious debate? And who they did leave out that deserved a mention?

SPORTSDAZ FOOTBALL will return in September covering the club championships.

Darren Kelly and Killian Whelan present the magazine show previewing the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland camogie finals.

Schedule:

0:00 - Latest News
26:35 - Preview - Antrim vs Armagh (All-Ireland Premier Junior Final)
42:20 - Preview - Cork vs Galway (All-Ireland Intermediate Final)
57:15 - Preview - Cork vs Kilkenny (All-Ireland Senior Final)

Darren and Killian discuss the latest news including previewing the Nancy Murray Cup final between Tyrone and Wicklow; we look at Cork and Laois' wins at under 16 level and ahead to this Saturday's games in Kinnegad; Susan Earner steps down as Offaly manager; and the referees have been appointed for Sunday's games in Croke Park.

We then move onto those three games starting with Antrim and Armagh at 12pm. Since the Glens' arrival during the Ulster championship, they've pushed the Orchard in both the Ulster Final and the group stagest. Jennifer Curry (O'Leary) is chasing a fifth All-Irelanad (eight years after her last with Cork) but Antrim showed steel in getting through Clare the last day after double extra-time.

Then its the meeting of Cork and Galway in intermediate. Neither county can be promoted but for one, their players will. Both groups have a depth of talent and future seniros will be on show. It's their third All-Ireland Final meeting at this level (one win each) but they've never met in Croke Park and plenty of options for both Trevor Coleman and Cathal Murray, it promises to be a thriller!

Finally, it's the clash for the O'Duffy Cup! Cork and Kilkenny meet in camogie's biggest game for the first time since 2018. That was the last time the Rebelettes prevailed while the Cats tasted glory in 2020. Both teams have been written off this year but found a way to survive. Can Cork's new management of Matthew Twomey and Davy Fitzgerald reach the Holy Grail, or will Kilkenny overcome changes in personnel on the field to succeed?

48:35 - Cork 0-15 Waterford 0-10 (Senior Semi-Final)
1:06:25 - Kilkenny 1-13 Galway 0-12 (Senior Semi-Final)

Darren and Killian look at the main talking points including no camogie on 'The Sunday Game'; should there be a separate highlights show?; under 16 camogie finals going up against ladies football finals in Croke Park; and is enough being done to promote the games?

It's more a review show this week starting with the intermediate and premier junior semi-finals. Galway's young guns impress while Cork's intermediates prove their metal. Jennifer Curry (O'Leary) rolls back the years even if Armagh must do more. And Antrim and Clare throw up a dramatic, classic contest that proves how strong the game is at playing level.

Waterford came up just short in their quest for a first All-Ireland Final appearance in 77 years but proved they have the potential to match the big teams. The Aisling Thompson saga dragging out is something the game can do without but what a performance after her introduction as Cork leave it late before getting back into the All-Ireland senior final.

And finally, the All-Ireland champions are out! Galway come up short agianst a hungry Kilkenny team that left everything on the field. Are the Cats being underestimated as they are the only unbeaten team left this year? How come Galway couldn't stick with them? And should there have been more punishments for incidents surrounding Galway's first half penalty?

Schedule:

0:00 - Latest News
25:50 - Preview - Antrim vs Fermanagh (TG4 Junior Final)
44:10 - Preview - Laois vs Wexford (TG4 Intermediate Final)
1:03:50 - Preview - Meath vs Kerry (TG4 Senior Final)

We touch on the men's final shoot-out between Kerry and Galway, and some managerial appointments around the country. We ask why local GAA boards can't leave their schedules free for one day when their county are in an LGFA Final in Croke Park, we talk referees, Aisling McCarthy is an Aussie, Brian Noonan stepping down in Longford and more.

It's a four-parter today starting with the TG4 All-Ireland Junior Football Final. Antrim and Fermanagh have become fierce rivals recently and while the Saffrons will be favourites, the Erne County can't be ruled out. We look at what to expect in this Ulster derby who meet for the fourth time this year.

Wexford have been making a habit of breaking Laois hearts and if they can do it for a third consecutive time, they'll finally get their hands on silverware following semi-final wins in last year's championship and this year's Leinster campaign. The Slaneysiders have developed a more consistent approach but Laois are dangerous when on form as shown in this year's Division Two.

Then, it's on to the senior final between Meath and Kerry. We've marvelled at the Meath story over the last two years but are Kerry about to write their own tale of success. History will be made as first time champs the Royals go for back-to-back crowns against the Kingdom seeking to take back their throne after 29 years and claim top spot on the Roll of Honour with 12 wins.

The final episode of this season of SPORTSDAZ FOOTBALL takes place next Wednesday.

Schedule:

0:00 - Latest News
24:40 - Galway vs Kilkenny (All-Ireland senior semi-final)
43:10 - Cork vs Waterford (All-Ireland senior semi-final)

Darren and Killian look at the game's talking points and news including looking ahead to the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland intermediate and junior semi-finals. We look back on Ian Brick's term as Kerry manager, Ray Kelly is training young referees, and an article suggesting a family link with ACL injuries will be of interest.

All roads lead to Croke Park this Saturday for the senior semi-finals. Something's gotta to give between Galway and Kilkenny at 5.30pm. Both teams are unbeaten this year and produced a classic in their group clash three weeks previously in Athenry. Have Galway learned from that or are Kilkenny even sharper following their quarter-final success over Dublin?

Beforehand, Cork and Waterford collide at 3.15pm. While it promises to be an intriguing contest on the field, off-field matters are dominating the headlines. We ask why Aisling Thompson's red card against Tipperary hasn't been dealt with yet and should there be tighter deadlines to dealing with disciplinary matters? Also, there's been great support for Waterford's gofundme fundraiser but should support not already be coming in from the GAA community.

Schedule:

0:00 - Latest News/Zucar All-Ireland under 16 & minor championships
29:20 - Men's Final - Galway vs Kerry, mood in the camp ahead of LGFA Finals the following week

It's a gap week match wise but there's still plenty to talk about. And we start by paying our respects to Ballymacarbry's Aisling Kennedy who sadly passed away last week.

The Zucar under 16 finals are over with wins for Dublin, Kildare and Armagh. While it's minor semi-finals night across three grades. We look back on last week and touch on what to expect tonight. And we also ask is the pathway for future players as good as it can be?

After the break, we look ahead to the All-Ireland men's football final as Kerry face Galway on Sunday in Croke Park. The Kingdom are favourites for a first title in eight years. But the Tribesmen are known for stepping up on the big day even it it's 21 years since their last appearance.

Finally, we get a feel for what the six camps are up to ahead of next week's TG4 All-Ireland Ladies Football Finals. How are Kerry dealing with the hype? Will Meath use the blueprint that served them so well the last two years? Can Laois and Fermanagh deal with the Croke Park experience? And do Wexford and Antrim have any hang-ups from heavy defeats last September?

Darren Kelly and Killian Whelan look back at the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland senior camogie quarter-finals.

Schedule:

0:00 - Latest News/Talking Points
17:40 - Kilkenny 2-24 Dublin 1-11
27:45 - Waterford 3-16 Limerick 1-12

The business end of the camogie championship season is in full swing. The intermediate semi-finals have moved to Sunday, there's complaints about the lack of male pundits on social media, Westmeath's appeal fails, and Offaly and Laois are relegated from their respective tiers.

Kilkenny booked their place in the All-Ireland senior semi-finals following a 16-point victory over Dublin. Adrian O'Sullivan's side made a positive start with Niamh Gannon's goal but 1-11 in 12 minutes put the Cats in control. Are Kilkenny quietly going about their business? And what do Dublin need now to build on a solid 2022?

And finally, we look back at Waterford's first semi-final qualification since 1959. the Deise created many memorable moments in their 10-point win over Limerick? But manager Derek Lyons wasn't happy withe thier second half. Could the Shannonsiders have done better or did they overachieve to reach this stage? Either way, stability is key going forward.

Schedule:

0:00 - Review previous weekend (senior quarter-finals, intermediate/junior semis)
26:10 - Meath 0-12 Donegal 1-7
55:55 - Kerry 4-10 Mayo 0-13

Due to a week being taken off last week, we've a lot of catching up to do so Darren & Niamh go back to July 9th and that Super Saturday in the TG4 All-Ireland senior quarter-finals - Dublin caught out, Mayo defy predictions, Armagh plan backfires, and Emma Duggan Superstar). There's also a look at the intermediate and junior semis as Antrim, Fermanagh, Laois and Wexford qualify for Croke Park.

We go back to the action in Croke Park last Saturday starting Meath's two-point win over Donegal. Again, Emma Duggan stepped up but like through champions, the Royals find a way to get the job done. Did Donegal bottle it when they'd an extra player? Meath's leaders asserted themselves but did Donegal's? Did refereeing decisions play a part?

Finally, we look back on Kerry's impressive victory over Mayo. How did Cork not breach a loose defence or is that unfair on the slick play from the Kingdom? Kerry all on the same page and defence were organised? Can they win first All-Ireland in 29 years? How do we rate 2022 for Mayo as they missing so many players? Who were the top players?

We have a very special guest this week as Harpist and singer Emma Martin joins us as we remember her friend Sarah Carty who passed away from a rare form of cancer at just 28 years old. Sarah was a passionate camogie fan and they met playing the game together in Donegal.

Emma wrote a beautiful song in Sarah's memory and also to raise funds for 'First Descents' a life-changing outdoor activities organisation for young adults with cancer and serious health conditions. The song was launched last Saturday at The Ferryman pub in Dublin last Saturday.

To learn more about 'First Descents,' click HERE

We'll be playing Sarah's song twice on today's show and you can also hear it on other platforms including spotify and twitter. Click HERE to support Emma's fundraiser.

Also on the show, we discuss the main talking points including Bill Mullaney stepping down as Tipperary manager, could it be a costly final round defeat for Cork with no Orla Cronin and an Ashling Thompson red card, what's going on in Westmeath as they quietly exit the intermediate championship following a points deduction, and we stand behind Ursula Jacob and call out the begrudgers and cowards who use social media as a form of bullying!

Finally, we preview this Saturday's double header in Portlaoise in the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland intermediate quarter-finals. Derry take on Dublin at 1.30pm, followed by Kerry meeting Meath at 4pm.

Collingwood AFLW star Sarah Rowe joins us to talk about her role as a Coca Cola Thank You Fund Ambassador (click HERE). We also discuss Mayo vs Cork, how difficult it is not to be with the county this year, other LGFA thoughts and the experience of being on 'Pulling With My Parents.'

Darren and Niamh look at the latest news including the excessive expenses for inter county players as reported in the42.ie, Louth manager Wayne Freeman stepping aside, Westmeath's relegation back to intermediate following their loss to Cavan, this week's tie between Monaghan and Waterford, the TG4 senior quarter-finals, and the intermediate and junior semis.

We focus on the two games LIVE on TG4 starting with Armagh against Kerry on Saturday (5pm Tullamore). The Orchard County have taken a big gamble by not driving on for top spot in Group B and the pressure is on them leading into this Division 2 League Final rematch. Meanwhile, the Kingdom have been quietly going about their business.

And then attention turns to the second game (7.15pm Tullamore) as All-Ireland champions Meath meet Galway. Two counties that don't cross paths often, this is their first championship meeting in 16 years and first competitive clash since 2014. The Tribeswomen have a good record against the Royals but Meath are a tougher unit now.

Darren and Killian look ahead to the start of the Nancy Murray Cup, round-up the latest standings in the Junior and intermediate championships, reflect on the success of Camogie Feile, and the start of the All-Ireland under 16 championships.

Killian catches up with Derry captain Shannon O'Doherty after their win over Cork in the intermediate championship on Sunday in Owenbeg. It's created an exciting group with five teams still fighting for the three spots in Group 2 leading into the final round this Saturday.

We preview the big match in Bellefield, Enniscorthy on Saturday (4pm) as Wexford host Dublin in the senior championship. With so many premutations, it's possible neither will make the quarter-finals. But one certainty is that one of these teams will be out afterwards. Darren & Killian look at what to expect from this game and the others in Group 1.

And then all eyes are on the clash of unbeaten heavyweights as Galway and Kilkenny go one-on-one in Kenny Park, Athenry on Saturday (4pm). A semi-final place to join Cork is up for grabs though the loser still has the quarter-final route. It's always explosive when these two collide and we look forward to it, as well as the decisions to be made in the other Group 2 ties.

38:00 - Part 3 - Lidl & Laois, King & Queen of Football, New York in Ireland, and Fundraiser - Aisling Kennedy - Ballymacarbry

Matches are limited this weekend but that doesn't slow down the show with plenty to talk about on a topical episode of SportsDaz Footbal.

In Part 1, we look at the senior quarter-final fixtures, which will see Armagh vs Kerry, and Meath vs Galway live on TG4, Zucar have been announced as new sponsors for the minor championships which return on July 20th; and we look ahead to tonight's six All-Ireland semi-finals at under 16.

Part 2 starts with the news that Galway's Áine McDonagh is heading to the AFLW, we look at Armagh's win over Monaghan and question the slow nature of the second half, and one team will be relegated this Sunday, but will it be Cavan or Westmeath?

In the final part, we call LIDL for their cock-up regarding Laois' billboard on an upcoming campaign, who are the King and Queen of Football, we reflect on New York's recent visit to Ireland the possibilities for further transatlantic relations, and we plead for support for a fundraiser for Ballymacarbry's Aisling Kennedy, following a serious accident last April.

Darren Kelly and Niamh Kindlon look back at Saturday's games at MW Hire O'Moore Park, Portlaoise in the TG4 All-Ireland senior football championship.

Schedule:

0:00 - Championship Round-Up
22:20 - Dublin 1-14 Mayo 0-7
43:40 - Cork 2-10 Waterford 1-5

The big names started coming to the front in the TG4 intermediate championship as the semi-finals became known; London shocked Carlow but not enough to reach the final four of the TG4 Junior championship; while Tipperary avoid the relegation play-offs with a win over Cavan.

We look back at Dublin's win over Mayo in Portlaoise. Jennifer Dunne was superb with a strong supporting cast led by Caoimhe O'Connor. Dublin looked strong and hungry for victory but did Mayo believe they could get a result?

Then it's Cork against Waterford. Doireann O'Sullivan led the Rebellettes to victory with 1-7 while Libby Coppinger also found the net. But the Deise put it up to them with the wind before drawing a blank in the second half, and ultimately crashed out of the championship.

Darren and Killian discuss the game's latest talking points including more chat on the hurling/camogie clash in Clare last week, venues have been confirmed for the All-Ireland senior and intermediate knockout stages, and we look at the state of play in the intermediate and premier junior championships.

Our first featured game takes us to Cappamore (Saturday 4pm) as Limerick and Down meet in their own battle of survival. The Shannonsiders finally got a victory this year against Offaly two weeks ago and another will put them in a strong position. Down need a win to stay in quarter-final contention and that priceless point against Antrim in Round 2 could be key.

Then it's off to Dunloy (Saturday 4pm) for the intriguing clash between last year's All-Ireland intermediate and senior champions as Antrim entertain Galway. The Saffrons put in a good shift against Kilkenny only going down by six points and will look for something similiar here. The Tribeswomen dismissed Down the last day and have three wins from three but this is certainly their stiffest test so far.

Darren Kelly and Niamh Kindlon present the magazine show looking at the TG4 All-Ireland Championships.

Schedule:

0:00 - Review - Cork 2-12 Donegal 1-10
34:55 - Karen Guthrie (Donegal)
38:10 - Preview - Cork vs Waterford
57:10 - Doireann O'Sullivan (Cork)
1:00:00 - Senior & Intermediate Round-Up inc. Armagh vs Monaghan

We review a third game from Round 2 of the TG4 All-Ireland senior football championship last weekend. Cork beat Donegal by five points but could all three goals have been avoided; did Donegal get their match-ups right at the start; how influential were refereeing decisions in the second period; and how did Cork let their opponents back into this?

We get post-match reaction from Karen Guthrie and Doireann O'Sullivan, and preview this week's clash of Cork and Waterford in the final round in Group D. Waterford must win, Donegal can't afford that scenario, while victory for Cork will secure top spot. They've met multiple times recently with the Rebelettes coming out on top but do the Deise have a chance to turn their fortunes around?

As well as running through the other games in the senior championship plus the TG4 intermediate quarter-finals, we take a look at Armagh against Monaghan. The Orchard have enjoyed the upper hand with significant wins and a 15+ point winning margin will see them top Group B. But have the Farney women just lost too many players to make the victory that will secure a quarter-final spot possible?

Niamh Kindlon and Darren Kelly look back at the Ulster Football Final. Armagh produced a stunning turnaround to beat Donegal after extra-time. A thrilling game yes but littered with mistakes from both teams and a lot to learn if they are to challenge for All-Ireland silverware.

Finally, Darren was in Waterford on Saturday and caught up with Waterford Sport and WLR FM commentator Tomás McCarthy to reflect on Dublin's two-point victory on the opening day of the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland senior camogie championship, and Waterford's chances going forward.

Schedule:

0:00 - Latest News
19:10 - Armagh 0-9 Meath 0-9
42:10 - Mayo 0-16 Cavan 2-9 (15)

Among the news items are Armagh's Kelly Mallon winning Croke Park/LGFA player of the month for May; Cora Staunton and Brid Stack are heading back to Australia with Greater Western Sydney Giants; a run through of all the results; and could the GAA have avoided clashing with Cavan's LGFA match against Mayo.

We start with the All-Ireland champions Meath and their comeback against Armagh. Could have a few yellow cards have been shown? They're definitely was talking points. A tight physical battle where defences gave away nothing easy, we still were treated to some breathtaking scores by both teams.

And we look back at Cavan's stunning comeback against Mayo and how the Connacht side held their nerve to get the winner. Despite missing many big names, the green and red did a lot of good things but how did they let an eight-point slip? And how did Cavan give them a head start in the first place?

Then it's the rematch we've all been waiting for - Armagh vs Meath (Sunday, 3.45pm Glennon Brothers Pearse Park).

Schedule:

0:00 - Latest News
21:10 - Preview - Wexford vs Tipperary
39:55 - Preview - Clare vs Dublin

We look back at all the main talking points over the last week. Clare are not happy about playing Saturday with their hurlers in Thurles, Wexford are on the search for a new chairperson, cruciate injuries take out the Doyle sisters in Kilkenny and we look back at last week's action in the senior championship.

The first of our featured games this is the must-win clash of Wexford and Tipperary on Saturday (2pm Bellefield, Enniscorthy). How good were Wexford after their win over Clare? Can Bill Mullaney inspire his Tipperary charges again? The loser of this game could be out of the championship.

And the same can be said for our second fixture as Clare host Dublin the same day (5pm Cusack Park). The Banner have just one point from three games but there is a pathway to the quarter-finals. In contrast, Dublin are coming in under the radar and sit quietly in third place ready to pounce.

Darren Kelly & Niamh Kindlon look back on last Saturday's TG4 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship games from St. Brendan's Park, Birr.

A very special episode as this is our.... 300TH SHOW!!!!

Schedule:

0:00 - Latest News
25:25 - Anna Galvin (Kerry football captain)
37:45 - Review - Kerry 3-10 Galway 3-8
59:00 - Review - Donegal 0-10 Waterford 1-5

There's been plenty to chat about over the last week in football including two more big names heading to Australia, Meath manager Eamonn Murray unhappy with Monaghan, the intermediate championship keeps giving with more suprises and stunning results and much more.

Kerry football captain Anna Galvin joins us to chat about their victory over Galway, the work put in behind the scenes over the last three years, the confidence gained from getting one over their rivals, the possibilities ahead and why she doesn't mind travelling from Dublin to Kerry each week.

We look back at Kerry's win over Galway. The Tribeswomen had a goal disallowed and should video technology be allowed to make that call? The ticking system led to two late Kerry yellow cards and could have been costly. Is that outdated? And while both have plenty to work on, the Kingdom looked to have put in that bit more and were deserving winners.

Finally, it's the turn of Donegal and Waterford. Not the best game of football we'll see all year but conditions didn't help either. The Deise will be kicking themselves with the chances they wasted but the Tir Conaill women showed grit to get the job done. There were yellow cards, phantom frees and a missed penalty among others to discuss.

THE THIRD HALF will return to Tuesdays next week and broadcast any week there's live games on television.

Darren & Killian look forward to PRIDE Round this weekend, have already picked two All-Stars and give their thoughts on last week's action. And Darren also chatted to Elaine Aylward about Cork's game with Clare in Páirc Uí Rinn last Saturday.

We preview two important games this weekend in the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship.

On Sunday, Tipperary host Waterford in Semple Stadium in a contest neither side can really afford to lose. Waterford have already lost once, but are one point ahead of the Premier County. It's a double header with the Munster senior hurling final but with Cork to come for both, the loser will be up against it.

On Saturday in Sixmilebridge, Clare collide with Wexford in a game that really about survival. The Banner have just one point but are playing for the sixth consecutive week. After an 18-point drubbing from Waterford, can Wexford take inspiration from their male counterparts and turn their campaign around.

And finally, Killian was MC last Friday as Johnstownbridge in Kildare paid tribute to long time club manager Dick Flanagan. We have audio from the club's reunion night thanks to Eddie Flynn, Windmill DVD Productions.

And Darren was also out on Monday at the Connacht Minor Finals at the Connacht GAA Centre of Excellence in Bekan and gets reaction from Galway's A Final success over Mayo, and the dramatic of a shoot-out before Sligo go the job done against Roscommon the B decider.

When there are LIVE matches on TV, we'll give you the full analysis on THE THIRD HALF.

Schedule:

0:00 - Latest News inc. Roscommon's Niamh Feeney and TG4 five-year deal
0:00 - Dublin 1-7 Meath 1-5 (Analysis - Leinster Senior Football Final
36:45 - Longford 3-9 Kildare 1-9 (Tara Byrne (KFM, Kildare Nationalist, Leinster Leader reflects)
45:35 - Weekend Round-Up - Cork Munster Champions, wins for Wicklow, Clare, Laois and Wexford.

It's a special football show this week as Darren Kelly and Niamh Kindlon discuss the latest news before turning their full attention to the Leinster senior football final between Dublin and Meath.

Were the yellow cards merited? Why wasn't there a free after the decision against Vikki Wall? How significant was the penalty? The poor first half and Dublin's inability to build up a commanding lead, and some moments of brilliance from the country's top two teams. All to be discussed.

Longford produced the biggest shock of the TG4 All-Ireland intermediate championship on Sunday as they beat Kildare in Newbridge. KFM's Tara Byrne joined us to look back on the result, what it means for Kildare and how costly has the decision been to allow inter county players play club league finals the week beforehand?

Finally, Darren and Niamh are back again for a round-up on all the weekend's football action. Wicklow suprised Leitrim in Drumshanbo; big win for Clare but Jessica Foy nails a two-pointer from a '45 for Down; Sligo's season goes from bad to worse as Laois show no mercy; another up-and-down thriller with Wexford as they edge out Offaly; and Cork are Munster senior football champions thanks to a 2-11 to 1-9 win over Kerry.

Every weekend there's LIVE camogie or football on TV, we'll have THE THIRD HALF on Monday to look back on everything that happened.

Clare are in the Connacht championship and their results count. But they can't contest the Final should they qualify. We ask why?

It's a must win game for Roscommon against a Sligo side that haven't played since a six-point loss to their neighbours last month.

And a novel pairing in Connacht it might be, but Leitrim and Clare renew hostilities after their championship clash last year.

36:55 - Galway vs Mayo (Connacht Football Final Preview)
55:05 - Waterford vs Cork (Munster Football Semi-Final Preview)

Darren and Niamh look back at the week's big talking points including Saturday night's clash in Parnell Park between Meath and Dublin. Certainly an exciting game even if not as good as some commentators hyped it up to be. There was still plenty of big moments including refereeing decisions, kick outs, systems, potential yellow cards and two stand out performances.

LGFA players going to AFLW is becoming a weekly news event and this week, womens.afl reported that Vikki Wall is heading to North Melbourne. While nothing has been officially confirmed from the Meath camp, we look at the new start time of August in Australia and how it's effecting the players gone over. Only three of the 2022 class will represent their counties this year!

Mayo are the worst hit with only Rachel Kearns likely to be involved in this Sunday's Connacht Final against Galway. We look ahead to Sunday's tie (4pm Tuam Stadium) with uncertainty surrounding both counties. Though the Tribeswomen do have the Kilkerrin/Clonberne contingent to return.

And we finish up with a trip to Dungarvan (Sunday 2pm) for the Munster semi-final between Waterford and Cork. It's strange to say that the Rebelettes are coming in under the radar and are missing several key names. Can Waterford finally realise their potential and pull off a massive result that could set up their season?

Darren Kelly, Killian Whelan and Niamh Kindlon present this special episode of 'The Third Half' looking back at the Littlewoods Ireland National Camogie League Finals, and the Lidl Ireland National Football League Finals in Croke Park.

Schedule:

Galway vs Cork (Division 1 Camogie) - 0:00
Wexford vs Antrim (Division 2 Camogie) - 38:30
Meath vs Donegal (Division 1 Football) - 1:02:10
Kerry vs Armagh (Division 2 Football) - 1:23:20

Before we chat about Galway's victory over Cork in the Division 1 Camogie Final, we ask why was there such a poor attendance on Saturday and is it worth it being in Croke Park for camogie league finals?

It took time to get going but when the game exploded, it was a thrilling battle with three quality goals before Galway's bench reigned supreme.

Yellow cards were the talking point in the Division 2 Final but three Wexford goals ensured them success over an Antrim side that took time to get used to playing senior opposition. Were the Saffrons hard done by in the first half or have they been given plenty to think about leading into the summer?

In football, Meath have taken the mantle as the country's top dogs as they won a first Division 1 league title. They were brilliant at the start but let their opponents back in. And will Donegal have major regrets for taking so long to get going against the All-Ireland champions?

Finally, a great day for Kerry who make it third time lucky with Division 2 silverware. We praise their performance but ask why Armagh faded in the final stretch? And yes, there's yellow card discussions to be had from both football games.

And we haven't forgotten about massive wins for Cavan, Mayo and Offaly in camogie!

Then Croke Park on Saturday is our focus as we look ahead to the Division 2 Final between Antrim and Wexford.

That's a double header with the eagerly awaited showdown between Galway and Cork. A repeat of last year's final will see both sides leave it all on the line with neither wanting to concede the chance of national silverware.

Darren Kelly and Niamh Kindlon present the football magazine show looking at the LIDL Ladies National Football League.

Schedule:

Latest News - Integration, Late changes in results, league round-up (0:00)
Review - Mayo 6-6 Galway 2-8 (League Division 1 - 30:25)
Preview - National League Round 3 (feat. Meath vs Dublin - 40:35)

As the GAA Congress returns a positive move towards integration, we look at what to expect from the upcoming LGFA Congress where a 'Partnership of Equals' is proposed; and we discuss the precedent set with the result between Monaghan and Tyrone changed four days after its conclusion;

We look back at last week's games focusing in on Mayo's big win over Galway. The green and red have been impressive in their two outings but the Tribeswomen's disappointing display is a cause for concern.

And finally, we look ahead to this Saturday's mouth watering All-Ireland Final rematch between Meath and Dublin. Both are through to the semi-finals but who'll take the bragging rights and top their group before a meeting with Donegal or Mayo.

We look at the latest news as integration takes a step forward following the GAA Congress; it's a club finals weekend with two Junior deciders in Drogheda on Saturday; Katie Mullen chasing a camogie All-Ireland before hockey World Cup, and some big results for Cavan and Wicklow in the National Leagues.

The middle part of the show focuses on Division 1 and after Cork's massive win over Limerick, we worry for the Shannonsiders, and also Offaly who took a heavy beating from Dublin. Can anyone challenge the big four this year we ask, though Clare have put up their hand.

And finally, it's Croke Park Sunday with two games live on television. Can Salthill/Knocknacarra complete a fairytale or will St. Rynagh's make history at intermediate? And who can come out on top in one of the most anticipated rematches in history when Oulart The Ballagh look for a repeat win over Sarsfields

Review - Dublin vs Cork (28:55)
Preview - Galway vs Mayo (46:45)

We look back at all the latest news. Should the LGFA have called off more games with the bad weather? Do LGFA members really know what's at the stake with this Saturday's GPA motion at GAA congress? Clare enter the Connacht championship. Kerry manager Declan Quill has a twitter rant. And Fermanagh and London pick up big wins in Division 4.

We reflect on last week's action as Dublin teach Cork a lesson in Croke Park. The Rebelettes are out of the league but must ensure they don't get dragged into a relegation scrap now. Dublin and Meath are through to the semi-finals with Donegal effectively qualified as well.

Galway and Mayo wasn't played last week and that's our featured match this week. Will the Kilkerrin/Clonberne players be back? A new role for Mayo's Fiona McHale? And what do we expect from this latest chapter between the two Connacht rivals?

Review - Tipperary vs Down (28:30)

The Littlewoods National Camogie Leagues but what happened to Laois who couldn't field against Galway in Division 2 and, according to the Camogie Association's official website, have conceded the fixture. Kerry went down heavily to Antrim but Meath and Derry did serve up a classic in Ashbourne.

It was a weekend that also saw Offaly's game against Galway in Division 1 postponed, Monaghan hand a walkover to Mayo in the Minor C championship and with heavy defeats elsewhere, we ask if more can be done to help the weaker counties?

Kilkenny got a good workout from Limerick in Division 1 but Darren & Killian were both disappointed with Down's effort against Tipperary, though the Premier County were also praised for the professional performance they provided in the Ragg.

Darren Kelly and Killian Whelan present the magazine show looking at all the news and action involving the small ball.

Schedule:

Cáit Devane - Tipperary (8:07)
Preview - Waterford vs Cork (22:13)
Preview - Derry vs Antrim (37:38)

Darren and Killian talk about the possibility of 30,000 people making this year's All-Ireland Finals; and potential league structures in a post-pandemic world.

They reflect on Waterford's defeat to Tippeary in Division 1 of the Littlewoods Ireland National League; wins for Offaly & Limerick; and other results including Westmeath's victory over Meath.

Killian caught up with Tipperary's Cáit Devane after she scored 12 points in their 2-16 to 0-11 over Waterford and he names his Player of the Week.

We preview Waterford vs Cork. The Deise need a 10-point win to reach the knock-out stages but they definitely require a performance following a difficult opening game.

And in Division 2, Derry against Antrim is our pick. The Oak Leaf lost to Down the first day but still hit 19 points. Can they get the five-point win required to send the Saffrons out of the competition.

Longford took the spoils on the opening day of Division 3B of the LIDL Football League on Sunday (23rd May) with Emer Heaney's goal just after half-time decisive.

It took two later points from captain Michelle Farrell and Heaney to seal the deal as Wicklow got back on level terms but the visitors will be kicking themselves for 11 wides and numerous unforced errors.

Wicklow led 0-4 to 0-3 at half-time with the breeze and had a Meadhbh Deeney goal disallowed for a square ball but despite being down to 14 with Farrell's yellow card, Longford turned it around after the restart.

Afterwards, SportsDaz's Darren Kelly chatted to Longford captain Michelle Farrell and Wicklow boss Mark Murnaghan; but first he caught up with Longford manager Brian Noonan.

Galway's intermediates got their Littlewoods Ireland National League campaign back on track today (Saturday, 22nd May) with a seven-point victory over Tipperary.

Two goals within four minutes of the restart from Cora Kenny and Mairead Dillon gave Cathal Murray's charges a buffer after the teams were level 0-6 to 1-3 at half-time.

Jenny Grace struck a goal before the break to ensure the teams stayed level while keeper Sarah Quigley denied Niamh Niland with two first class saves.

The result means Tipperary, with two defeats, are effectively out of contention for a quarter-final place; while Galway host Cork next week with a last eight spot within their grasp.

Afterwards, Darren Kelly chatted to Galway captain Ciara Donohue, and Tipperary boss Cian Treacy. but first he caught up with Galway manager Cathal Murray.

In our last 'The Fair Green' of 2020:

This week we celebrate the All-Ireland football champions from 25 years as we welcome Waterford's 1995 winning captain Nóirín Walsh to 'The Fair Green.'

Nóirin reminisces on a golden period for the Deise footballers who won five Brendan Martin Cups between 1991 and 1998, including her leading Waterford to a 4-14 to 1-5 victory over Monaghan in 1995.

We look back on that match and that period; Waterford taking the reigns from Kerry before handing over to Mayo at the end of the 90s.

We chat about the significance of 1991's win over Laois; the feeling leading into their devastating display against Monaghan in 1995; and the sweetness of getting back on top in 1998.

And Nóirín shares a story about how the Waterford footballers nearly brought home a lamb as their new mascot.

(This interview was recorded before the All-Ireland senior hurling final between Waterford and Limerick).

This week's guest on 'The Fair Green' is Galway camogie legend Therese Maher.

Her 17-year quest for All-Ireland championship glory was documented both domestically and nationally but she did receive her deserved happy ending in 2013 when the Tribesmen finally won back the O'Duffy Cup.

All-Ireland success at club level eluded her despite appearing in three finals. But with five All-Stars, four county titles, player of the year awards, minor, Gael Linn, Kilmacud 7s and leagues, Maher's CV is rivalled by few of her peers.

She chats to SportsDaz about her career, Blue Peter and her place in Galway camogie royalty.

And Therese also names her 'Fantastic Four' here on 'The Fair Green'
