It's the biggest week in the hurling calendar as two titans, Cork and Tipperary, prepare to collide in a historic All-Ireland Final. In this special episode of Beyond The 65, Luke Delaney is joined by Tipperary legend and 2019 All-Ireland winner John 'Bubbles' O'Dwyer and Wexford sharpshooter Conor McDonald for the ultimate final preview. The lads offer a unique player's perspective on the build-up to the biggest day. Bubbles reflects on his pivotal role in Tipperary's 2019 victory over Kilkenny, discussing the player mindset, pre-match rituals, and how to handle the immense pressure of Croke Park on All-Ireland Sunday.

Plus, the panel reveals their official End of Season Awards and sparks a massive debate by selecting their ultimate combined XV from the 2025 Cork and Tipperary squads. Who will lift the Liam MacCarthy Cup? Can Cork end their 20-year wait, or will Tipperary's tradition prevail? Get the most in-depth look right here!
