Kerry Football's magical winter ┃ Can Cork bounceback? ┃ RTÉ GAA Podcast

Jacqui Hurley and Rory O'Neill are joined by Ursula Jacob and Elaine Aylward to look back on Galway's thrilling All-Ireland Senior Camogie final triumph over three-in-a-row chasing Cork.

The Tribeswomen brought a physicality and ferocity to their game which Cork struggled to get to grips with during the early stages of the most gripping All-Ireland final of the season.

Ursula and Elaine agree that Cathal Murray was right to use 'disrespect' to fuel his charges, given they have now won three of the last seven All-Irelands before Sunday.

As regards Cork's complaints over the refereeing decisions, our pundits agree that Justin Heffernan got the big decisions right and both teams could point to calls that went against them over the 60 minutes.

Finally, Jacqui asks Ursula to reflect on her own Wexford side's achievements, as they remian the last team to achieve three All-Irelands in a row.
