ON THIS week's podcast, as we look ahead to the All-Ireland SHC semi-final between Cork and Dublin, Shane Kingston chats to us.

eir hurling ambassador Kingston was on hand as eir announced a major milestone in its network transformation - Ireland’s No.1 5G Network Availability award for the fifth year in a row.

The main story here isn’t the hurling but indeed his connections with West Cork GAA club, and serial winners, Goleen.

The Douglas man was down at their victory dinner dance recently and he tells us how it came to be.

He and his Cork teammates are looking forward to their clash with Dublin this weekend (Saturday at 5pm in Croke Park) which will attract over 70,000 spectators.

Also on the show, we talk Cork camogie, Cork LGFA and the club scene as league finals are aplenty this weekend.

eir has reached a major milestone in its network transformation, Ireland's No.1 5G Network Availability award for the fifth year in a row. As the first operator to launch 5G at Croke Park in 2020, eir continues to enhance the matchday experience for fans and players alike. Known as the fastest field sport in the world, hurling is a fitting match for eir’s ultra-fast fibre and 5G networks – now bringing faster speeds, stronger connections, and better coverage to communities across Ireland.

ON THIS week's podcast, we are joined by John Hayes to look back at Cork football’s year after John Cleary’s team were dumped out of the All-Ireland SFC by Dublin.

The game ended 1-19 to 1-16 with the Rebels putting a decent effort but the question now will be on Cleary’s future.

The Castlehaven man’s three-year term as permanent Cork boss is up and it remains to be seen whether he will be offered a new deal.

In the meantime, former Cork footballer Hayes chatted to Matthew Hurley about the good and bad this season

Also on the show, we found out Cork will face Dublin in the All-Ireland SHC semi-final after the Leinster side shocked Limerick at the weekend.

There were also wins for the Cork LGFA and camogie teams.

ON THIS week's podcast, we chat to Irish rugby star Enya Breen before she competes in the Women’s Rugby World Cup later this year.

This will be the Castletownshend woman’s first time playing at this prestigious rugby event, which will be held in England, starting in August.

The centre, who has 29 caps for her nation, sat down with Kieran McCarthy this week.

Also on the show, we look back at the Cork footballers’ win over Roscommon and look ahead to their All-Ireland SFC preliminary quarter-final against Dublin in Croke Park on Saturday (6.15pm).

John Cleary’s side saved their season against the Rossies and will go in as underdogs against the Dubs but there is hope for a scalp.
