John Mullane, Eddie Brennan and Michael Verney review a weekend of finals as Limerick did what may ever be done again, sealing their sixth Munster title in a row. John is quick to express his belief that Nickie Quaid could be hurler of the year, with Eddie adding that his ‘quarterback’ style has been a strong point of Limerick’s. The set-up around the Treaty men has also been a talking point, so naturally we broke down what having a 53-person backroom does to a team, and whether the mention of that just builds aura. Plus: How warm-ups matter in a power cut; Dublin gave Kilkenny too much time; stories of broken bones. The Throw-In hurling show is brought to you by eir.

John Mullane, Eddie Brennan and Michael Verney team up to preview a weekend of finals - Kilkenny v Dublin in Leinster, Clare v Limerick in Munster, and Offaly v Laois in the Joe McDonagh Cup. Proud Offaly man Verney was delighted to touch on the county’s under-20 All-Ireland triumph, which Mullane and Eddie highlighted as a fantastic occasion for hurling. But the sense of occasion for this weekend’s finals has been held back in the team’s view, and Mullane is also keen to highlight his views on the rising costs of being a fan as the price of attending an All-Ireland final rises. For this weekend, we chat how Clare are under pressure, the match-ups that could topple Limerick - and how Dublin have a golden opportunity to be provincial champions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
On this week’s Throw-In football show, Dick Clerkin and Colm Keys join Will Slattery to pick apart Derry’s collapse from league winners at Easter time to another poor defensive performance at home.

Questions over management have begun to crop up, as John states his support for Davy Fitzgerald staying on.

On this week’s Throw-In football show, Dick Clerkin and Donnchadh Boyle join Will Slattery to break down Galway’s bounce back into form over a Derry team still reeling from a bruising Ulster campaign. Donnchadh explains why he believes that despite their loss, the body of work put in by Mickey Harte’s men does not rule them out of the running. Elsewhere, Kerry - despite having what Dick said was a ‘quiet’ David Clifford ‘ made light work of Monaghan in the first of their All-Ireland round-robin clashes. Meanwhile, we look ahead to some of next weekend’s All-Ireland clashes, where the team give their thoughts on where Donegal and Tyrone sit among the challengers for Sam Maguire.

Controversy reigned in Clare’s one-point win over Waterford, but it sets up a thrilling final weekend. John Mullane and Eddie Brennan join Michael Verney to break down the weekend’s action. John states his case for more referees being involved in senior games as ‘players deserve the best’, while Eddie believes that with Hawk-Eye, it should be ‘everywhere or nowhere’. In terms of the runners and riders, Cork have hit the type of form that could get Leesiders dreaming again, while Waterford are poised to threaten Limerick’s drive for five. And in Leinster, Kilkenny and Wexford prepare for a game set for both sides to throw the kitchen sink - the only difference is that Wexford are coming in off the back of a ruthless victory, where Kilkenny could barely defeat the Dubs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
On this week’s Throw-In football show, Colm Keys and Frank Roche join Will Slattery to break down Donegal’s triumph in the Ulster final after what was a supremely difficult route to the decider. Armagh were the latest victim to Jim McGuinness’s tactical nous, but Colm suspects that Kieran McGeeney’s side got too comfortable when they got four points ahead despite a high-quality showing in the first half. Meanwhile, Dublin won another Leinster title, but they were not without challenge as Louth pushed them all the way. The team outline why Con O’Callaghan is now the front-runner to be player of the year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The magic of the Munster championship served up one of the greatest hurling clashes in history as Cork pipped Limerick - John Mullane and Eddie Brennan join Michael Verney to break down the weekend’s action. The excitement is evident after the entertainment in Páirc Uí Chaoimh, where Cork got their tactics right but now face the risk of being drained for the next game against Tipperary on Sunday. But the GAAGO controversy was a negative around the ‘epic’, and John makes his passionate case for more free-to-air games. Meanwhile, Kilkenny are in jeopardy after a surprising draw at Carlow, one the Barrowsiders fully deserved. So ahead of their trip to Dublin this weekend, Eddie warns that the men from the capital will be a huge challenge for Derek Lyng’s men.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Galway’s dramatic win over Mayo for their third Connacht title in a row was a huge win for Padraic Joyce’s team but does it show their true potential and are they really potential All-Ireland contenders? Dick Clerkin and Colm Keys join Will Slattery on this week’s Throw-In Football show to discuss the big talking points from the weekend action. Plus, where does this leave Mayo? Dick and Colm believe that Kevin McStay’s side haven’t progressed since last year, though they do have an arguably easier round-robin path than Galway. And just why was the round-robin draw made in advance of the provincial finals? In Munster, Kerry won another title overcoming Clare but there’s still question marks around their form.

John Mullane and Eddie Brennan join Michael Verney for another episode of The Throw-In Hurling show to look back on all the weekend hurling action. Plus, Wexford breathe fresh life into Leinster and their qualification hopes, but where are Galway going under Henry? Have we seen any progress in his three years in charge? And Eddie, John and Michael give their moments of the weekend. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It was an action-packed weekend of hurling action and Eddie Brennan and John Mullane join Michael Verney on the latest Throw-In Hurling show to discuss all the big talking points including Limerick’s humbling of Tipp with the lads asking is the Limerick green machine better than ever and what effect will the Peter Casey injury have on the rest of their campaign? Cork v Clare was a cracker with Clare winning without Tony Kelly and pushing on from their opening round loss to Limerick, but it leaves Cork staring into the abyss. In Leinster, Galway’s draw with Kilkenny shows they’re not progressing and still relying on the Class of '17, while Kilkenny are still doing what they do despite their four big absentees. And let’s not forget Antrim’s shock win over Wexford and what it means for the Leinster championship. Plus, looking ahead to next weekend, Waterford v Tipperary promises plenty of fireworks between Davy Fitzgerald v Liam Cahill but with the two big hurling games, why are both on GAAGO?
