ON THIS week's podcast, we look back at Cork’s Division 2 football final defeat against Meath last Sunday in Croke Park, 1-22 to 2-17.

A disappointing end to what was a league campaign where they earned promotion back to Division 1.

The main goal of promotion was accomplished but there is parts of the national final where Cork will regret not taking home the silverware.

A Munster championship awaits for John Cleary’s side this month.

Also on the show, we chat to South West Coastal Yawl Rowing Association chairperson Michael Walsh about this year’s Southern Star South West Rowing Schools’ Regatta.

This event will take place on Friday, May 1st in The Lagoon in Rosscarbery and is ideal for schools in West Cork to take part in.

A chance to row with your classmates, represent your school, learn new skills and work as a team, Walsh explains why schools should take part in this event.

ON THIS week's podcast, we are joined by Clonakilty Soccer Club manager John Leahy and Drinagh Rangers goalkeeping coach Rob Oldham as we look ahead to their title deciding clash this weekend.

In this West Cork League Premier Division clash in Darrara on Sunday (11am), Clon are looking to clinch their third title in a row while Drinagh are hoping to win their ninth game in ten.

A draw would do Clon to seal the trophy, Drimagh have to win.

The two sides have been close at the top end of the table in previous years and we will be looking for another classic.

Also on the show, we preview the Cork footballers’ big Division 2 encounter away to Tyrone on Sunday (1.15pm). John Cleary’s side need just a draw to earn promotion to Division 1 for the first time since 2016.

The Cork hurlers and the LGFA team are on the cusp of a league final too while the camogie team have an outside chance of making it to the decider.
