Christy Ring and Mick Mackey - Arthur O’Dea on writing about hurling’s giants
<p>Ronan Early is joined by Arthur O’Dea, author of the new book, Mackey & Ring.</p><br><p>Arthur details the intimidating nature of such an assignment, especially in the case of Ring, a historical figure but still very much a subject of everyday life and thoughts in Cork.</p><br><p>He talks about what made both men stand out as special early in their careers, and why both remain a source of fascination decades after their deaths.</p><br><p>Arthur also examines the quality of greatness, and why fans revere players in any sport who are willing to go to the very limit of their talent, and then keep going beyond what anybody could have thought possible in their sport.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Cork hold on in bruising battle: Camogie final review
<p>Emma Duffy and Fintan O’Toole join Ronan Early to chat about yesterday’s decider at Croke Park.</p><br><p>Has there been an overcorrection in camogie? Where a few short years ago everything seemed to be a free, and now physicality is off the scale - with sometimes dangerous consequences?</p><br><p>Does the officiating of head high challenges and collisions need to be more strict? And is there far too much cynical fouling when players have a sniff of goal? Is it time for a black card rule to be introduced?</p><br><p>How did Cork gain the impetus in the third quarter after Galway shaded the first half? And how did they let Galway get such a run on them in the closing straight, having led by six points towards the end of normal time? Was Cork’s running game counterproductive at times, especially when they profited with goals by going direct?</p><br><p>With these two outstanding sides having contested a third final in a row, is any other team primed to break the duopoly?</p><br><p>Either way, these teams have elevated the standards and appeal of the sport, judging by scoring totals, levels of athleticism reached and record crowds paying through the gates in 2026.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Farewell Kobe | Camogie final preview | The south-east will rise again
<p>Fintan O’Toole joins Ronan Early to chat about the big GAA matters of the week.</p><br><p>It’s farewell to Kobe McDonald, who has touched down in Melbourne. What position will he play? And can we expect to see him in first team action soon?</p><br><p>There is a trio of new managers in the south-east. Henry Shefflin in Kilkenny, Derek McGrath in Wexford and Stephen Molumphy in Waterford. Who is best placed to succeed? And where exactly does the south-east begin and end?</p><br><p>Cork and Galway meet for the third year in a row in the camogie decider, with one win apiece. Who can seize the initiative on Sunday?</p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
