The Munster Hurling championship has saved the world from doom! Packed into a big football weekend, Cork/ Clare and Limerick/Tipp shook us all. Magnificent stuff.

The football was good too. Donegal will play Down in the Ulster semi-final. Cork really could have/ should have beaten Kerry, Oisin wants to bin the hooter- Monaghan might agree!

Questions remain over Mayo but Galway look in a really good place. A painful weekend for Fermanagh.


From the pitches and clubhouses across Ireland, The GAA Social captures the heartbeat of Gaelic Games. This BBC Radio Ulster podcast goes beyond the weekend's scores to explore the people and passions that define hurling and Gaelic football. Each episode sits down with the figures who shape the sport, from legendary players and sharp-tongued managers to the dedicated officials behind the scenes, weaving their personal stories into the larger tapestry of the GAA. Alongside these in-depth conversations, you'll find thoughtful pundit discussions that dig into the tactics, controversies, and sheer athleticism on display. It’s a space where the camaraderie, local rivalries, and community spirit of the games are given a voice. Tuning in offers more than analysis; it’s an auditory journey into the culture and characters that make these sports a way of life for so many. Whether you’re a lifelong follower or newly curious, this podcast connects you to the raw emotion and shared history etched into every match.
