    B.T Phone Home! All Ireland title for Carlow! Guests: Lauren Dwyer & Bernard Mullen - History made - Calendar Soccer Season woes

    This week we pay tribute to the monumental success of Bennekerry/Tinryland in winning a first All Ireland Club Football title for Carlow at adult level on Saturday at Croke Park. Lauren Dwyer joins us to give us a flavour of what day was like, the lead in, the celebrations and just exactly how much it means to everyone. Bernard Mullen was involved with the team back when titles were hard to come by in Carlow.  He talks to us about the achievement and tears which were experienced even before full time. As current Tinryland GFC chairperson and vice-chairperson of Carlow & District Soccer League, Bernard gives us his views on the recent news of Calendar season soccer. It's a huge topic at the moment and is likely to have massive consequences for both Soccer and GAA. It's an episode that simply commands your attention. We do hope you enjoy! ★ Support this podcast ★

    Round table discussion with Conor Byrne, Maurice Browne & Mick Kehoe on Bennekerry/Tinryland - U20 grade - County Divisional Championships

    Bennekerry/Tinryland mentor Conor Byrne joined us along with other well known Carlow coaches Maurice Browne & Mick Kehoe for a wide ranging discussion on this weeks show. B/T are on their way to Croke Park to face Annaghdown of Galway on Saturday December 14th in the All Ireland Ladies Football Final. Conor gives us a flavour of what the group is like, how special this is and how they have managed everything so far on route to the decider. Conor also stays with us as we chat to Maurice & Mick about the Carlow U20 Football Finals this weekend. As former Carlow U20 Manager, Maurice gives us great insight into the challenges of that particular grade and we ask if there is possibly a better time to play it at club level and consider a possible reshuffle structure wise. We also discuss the merits of the the County Football Divisional Championship extending into other grades following finals night at the Netwatch Training Centre in Fenagh last Friday. Again there is great discussion, debate and insight. The show is a little longer this week but well worth sticking around for! ★ Support this podcast ★

    In Conversation with Darragh Foley - Carlow's highest scoring Inter-County Footballer of all time

    Recently we had the pleasure of sitting down with recently retired Carlow Senior Footballer Darragh Foley at Lambert's Coffee Shop. Foley finishes up as Carlow's leading scorer of all time on the County scene. We chat to Darragh about why he retired. We do a deep dive into his time with Carlow. We chat about some funny moments and also some emotional ones which Darragh doesn't shy away from. The man exudes excellence as much off the pitch as he does on it and here we get a real flavour of that. Unmissable viewing & listening.
