This week on Sport Lárige, three-time All-Ireland winner Ambrose O’Donovan joins me to reflect on Mayo’s historic victory over Kerry in the All-Ireland Senior Football Final and where it went wrong for the Kingdom. Valerie O’Brien from Roanmore GAA drops in to talk about the club’s booming juvenile setup, the growth of camogie in the city, and keeping girls involved in sport through their teenage years. I also chat with European U18 800m bronze medallist Isabel Gaffney of West Waterford AC about her breakthrough championship performance and what comes next, before Lorraine Johnson from Dunmore Badminton Club calls in to discuss the rise of badminton locally and a special women’s taster day happening on August 9th.

This week on Sport Lárige with Seamus Barry on WLR: a Waterford great retires, equality in Gaelic games, and a Déise man takes over Cavan.

This week on Sport Lárige with Seamus Barry on WLR: championship football, the Blues and a week of history at Doonbeg.

Rathgormack manager Kenny Hassett reflects on a 3-22 to 1-5 opening win and the hard switch from hurling to football for a dual club, while Seamie Cullinane explains Gaultier's second-half transformation against Kilrossanty — Sean White off the bench and JJ Hutchinson leading the way.

Graham Coughlan looks back on the 1-1 draw with Dundalk at the RSC, chances created and spurned, and a 12-game unbeaten run — Waterford's best since 2009 — with Derry City up next.

And Ray Scott brings us to Doonbeg, where Shane Lowry won the Amgen Irish Open by a record 11 shots at 23 under, with a preview of the Blues' big Monday night.

This week on Sport Lárige on WLR, we’re celebrating Irish sport at its best.

I’m joined by eight-time Irish elite champion and St Paul’s head coach Neil Goff, who was in Croke Park for Katie Taylor’s historic farewell fight. We relive the ring walk, the atmosphere, and the final bell – and ask what still makes her different at 40: footwork, composure, and that trademark 10‑second push to the finish.

We then turn to Waterford FC, as Matt Keane breaks down the club’s resurgence under Graham Coughlan – the bond in the dressing room, the impact of leaders like Kevin Long and John Martin, and why this group feels built to handle pressure in both league and cup.

And with the Irish Open at Doonbeg teeing off on Thursday, Ray Scott joins us to preview one of golf’s great weeks: links golf on the Atlantic, a stacked field with Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry, Seamus Power and more, and what makes Irish fans and courses so special on the world stage.
