Are Tipp back? | McGuinness has eyes on more than Ulster | Eddie Brennan & Dick Clerkin

Just like the weather, the provincial championships are heating up, and Michael Verney is on hand to run you through all the latest on today’s Indo GAA podcast.

The pair also discuss how reigning All Ireland champions Clare are on the brink of being knocked out, the brilliance of Galway’s Cathal Mannion, and the compact nature of the championship structure. Later, Dick Clerkin recaps the bucket list sporting item that is the Ulster final in Clones, the potential return of Rian O'Neill to Armagh and how Louth’s Leinster final experience eventually paid dividends against Meath.
