    Clara Crowley and Siofra Patwell on Ballinascarthy camogie rise

    ON THIS week's podcast, we are joined by Ballinascarthy camogie players Clara Crowley and Siofra Patwell after the club won their second county title-in-a-row.

    Kilbrittain captain Philip Wall on their county triumph

    ON THIS week's podcast, we chat to Kilbrittain captain Philip Wall as the club sealed a memorable county Premier Junior Hurling Championship win. The Black and Amber beat Glen Rovers 0-22 to 2-15 in what was a great performance from the West Cork club. The club won their first county hurling title in 15 years after a brilliant second-half display in particular. What’s more, they have a Munster JHC campaign to look forward to as they face either Kenmare Shamrocks of Kerry or Knockaderry from Limerick in November. For now though, they will rightfully bask in the glory after a superb victory. Also on the show, we talk about Ballinascarthy winning, not just one title but two on Sunday. Their hurlers won the Carbery JAHC after a 0-22 to 1-16 win over Kilbree while their camogie team completed back-to-back county titles with a 3-7 to 1-9 victory over Sliabh Rua. The camogie team will be in the second tier of county camogie in 2026 while the hurlers have a county championship to look forward to. We discuss Munster’s 31-14 win over Leinster in the United Rugby Championship too as Innishannon man Jack Crowley put in a starring display. All this and more on this week's Star Sport Podcast.

    Evan Deasy announces himself to the world and Lionel Messi

    ON THIS week's podcast, we chat to Evan Deasy, who won the inaugural Más+ by Messi 1v1 World Crown in Miami. What’s more, the Bandon teenager was strutting his stuff under the watchful eye of Lionel Messi, the Argentinian superstar. The Cobh Ramblers striker earned his place in Miami after coming through a qualifier in Dublin. Once he landed in Florida, he reached a new level – beating some of the best young talents in the world, including Timmy Abraham, brother of England and Besiktas striker Tammy Abraham, on his way to glory. Winning a crown and excelling in front of, what some would describe as, the GOAT. What a week for the 18-year-old. Speaking of GOAT’S, Patrick Horgan retired from inter-county hurling this week, finishing as the top scorer in championship history (as of now) with 32-683. The Glen Rovers man has left the scene without an All-Ireland medal but will go down as a Cork hurling legend and we pay tribute. We also discuss an exciting upcoming weekend of club football action where Newcestown, Castlehaven, Ilen Rovers and Gabriel Rangers are looking for semi-final spots.
