Author: BBC Radio Ulster May 24, 2026 Duration: 43:39

Kerry 0-16 Donegal 2-20. Where do we start? Oisin believes the GAA have backed themselves into a corner with Ger Brennan, and Jim McGuinness will face a suspension. He doesn’t believe David Clifford should have been sent off. “We could chat about this game for 9 hours there’s that much stuff.” It feels like we’re now in real championship, a huge win for Donegal in Killarney.

Cork beat Meath with lots of love for Steven Sherlock and equal reverance for Rob Finnerty in what he’s doing at Galway. Tyrone weren’t brilliant, but found a way, on an emotion day for the county. Frank McGuigan passed away this weekend, we did a spectacular podcast with him two years ago, we reflect on his life and response since his passing. He was the King. Tailteann Cup games, surprise for Down against Offaly, while Waterford, Limerick, Carlow and Clare say goodbye to the football championship. Cork play Clare in the Munster hurling final and Kilkenny are out! Their earliest elimination since 1996


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.
