    Indo Sport Special: The Joe Canning Interview
    Over at Indo Sport, we’ve just wrapped up week three of our brand new podcast, which you can find in all the usual podcast places. Each day, Joe Molloy and the wider Irish Independent team will be bringing you the main news and views across the world of sport, but also plenty of in-depth items as well. This past week, we welcomed hurling legend Joe Canning to studio for a feature interview. Beyond his prodigious rise with Portumna and stellar on-field career with Galway, we delved into lots more outside the sporting arena - from the pain of grief to the joy of parenthood, and plenty else besides.

    Football: Armagh fairytale is Kieran McGeeney’s crowning moment
    Armagh are All-Ireland champions, a victory our panel regard as one of the greatest managerial feats in football history. On this week’s Sam Magure decider review, Will Slattery was joined by Dick Clerkin and Conor McKeon to break down what Armagh did right in a season where they had a unique opportunity to win silverware and took it, why Shane Walsh does not deserve the harsh reaction, and on what the key difference was in the final - Galway had the ball, but Armagh had control. We’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who has listened, followed and engaged with us over the course of the season.

    It will be a Cork v Clare All-Ireland final, and the Throw-In’s regular trio of John Mullane, Eddie Brennan and Michael Verney teamed up to break down how each team made it over the line. Limerick’s drive for five stalled after a thriller with the Rebels - John asks if they were too slow to make the changes needed to keep pace with a Cork team who have the right pieces coming together at the right time. Meanwhile, Clare’s 16th man made their presence known as Kilkenny were toppled on Saturday, Eddie remarks that free-taking made the difference here. Elsewhere, the quality of hurling is such that we need more of it - will the GAA give it to us?
