Episode 16 of The Ladies Gaelic Football Podcast on FinalWhistle reflects on another dramatic weekend across the TG4 All-Ireland Championships, with the Senior Championship edging towards its conclusion, the Intermediate quarter-final line-up confirmed, and the Junior Championship delivering more twists in the race for the knockout stages.
Host Diarmuid Kearney is joined once again by Emma Kelly and Joanne Doonan as the trio break down the key talking points from Round 2 of the Senior Championship, the final round of group action in the Intermediate Championship, and the latest developments in the Junior Championship.
The panel begins with a deep dive into the Senior Championship, analysing the standout performances, key results, and major storylines before looking ahead to the final round of group fixtures, where quarter-final places and relegation play-off spots remain up for grabs.
Attention then turns to the Intermediate Championship, where the race for the quarter-finals reached a dramatic conclusion and the relegation play-off pairings were confirmed. Joanne reflects on Fermanagh’s victory that secured their place in the quarter-final draw, while the panel assesses the teams that progressed and those whose championship journeys came to an end.
This week’s special guest is Aisling Feely, who joins the show after helping Roscommon secure qualification with a superb nine-point haul against Down. She discusses their league campaign, the disappointment of the Connacht Final defeat to Leitrim, the positives taken from their loss to Cavan, what beating Down meant to the group and the opportunity to gain revenge against Leitrim in the quarter-finals.
The conversation then shifts to the Junior Championship, where Group A remains finely balanced after significant wins for Derry and Offaly, while Antrim wait in the wings ahead of a decisive weekend. In Group B, Carlow have already secured a semi-final place, while Limerick’s victory has set up a winner-takes-all showdown with Sligo for the remaining semi-final berth.
From tactical developments to defining moments and emerging narratives, the panel brings insight from both the dressing room and the press box as the championship season gathers momentum. Full fixtures, results, and tables are available throughout the campaign on FinalWhistle.ie.
