It was another strong sporting weekend for the Kingdom. It was club football that saw the spotlight over the weekend with Gneeveguilla and Na Gaeil bringing home Munster Silverware. Unfortunately, it wasn’t all success with Austin Stacks narrowly missing out on their 9th Munster Club Championship title. Following on from these games Eamonn looks at what is holding our senior clubs back from the glory of a Munster title and is the senior championship a contributing factor to our teams just falling short? Former Kerry footballer and manager John Kennedy is on the line with Eamonn to talk about this.

Na Gaeil is predicted to be on track to All-Ireland glory. The 2019 All-Ireland Junior champions are on track to emulate the glory that Ardfert and St Mary’s have experienced in the past. Eamonn chats to Chairperson Tim Lynch and player Kieran Dineen about their emphatic provincial final win and their feelings on the team’s up-coming matches.

Moving from the big ball to the small ball, Handball is still running as strong as ever through the Kingdom. Two ladies that have only been playing the sport for 6 months Sinead Moriarty and Aoife Walsh returned to their native Spa Handball Club with Silverware to boast from the ‘She’s Ace’ Handball Tournament where they both took part. Sinead and Aoife were both on with Eamonn to discuss the weekend’s success.

Terry O’Brien who was chairperson of the Tigers and is current chairperson of the Warriors is on the phone along with Warriors Captain Fergal O’Sullivan to discuss the coming game and what this final means to the club and its supporters.

Tom was one of the founding members of St Brendan’s AC in 1987 and was at the fore of coaching and promoting the club for many years. Eamonn spoke to Ursula Barrett, a member and coach with St Brendan’s about Tom and his life’s devotion the club.

It has been a festival of snooker over the last number of days in the Gleneagle Hotel as the Munster Snooker Championships took place over the weekend. But team’s attentions quickly turn to the All-Ireland Championships which will be taking place shortly. Tournament organiser and owner of the ‘Cue Club’ in Killarney Connie O Sullivan joins Eamon to chat about the competitions and how the sport has been recovering following COVID restrictions brought the game to a halt.
