This Week on Sport Lárige – Cup Tests, County Hurling & A Special Memorial

This week on Sport Lárige on WLR, we’re reflecting on a testing night for Waterford FC. The Blues boss gives an honest assessment of his side’s cup win over Athlone Town – why a planned de‑load in training dulled their usual intensity, what went wrong with the press, and why he still believes this honest group thrives on big‑game pressure.

We’ve a bumper hurling round-up from across Waterford: all the key results from Junior to Senior, plus reaction from Roanmore’s Gavin O’Brien after their quarter-final win over Abbeyside, and De La Salle manager Ian Flynn on edging out Mount Sion by a single point to set up a showdown with Ballygunner.

We then turn to Park Rangers FC, where football and community come together for the inaugural Nessa O’Brien Memorial Under-12 Girls Tournament. Chairperson Vinny Lynch and player‑coach Karina Ray share Nessa’s story, the impact she had on the club, and how a day of girls’ football will raise vital funds for the Solas Centre.

And we’ll hear from Clubhouse Clothing founder Alan Salter, on a new grassroots-friendly leisurewear brand that sends money straight back to local clubs – no stock, no hassle, just simple fundraising for GAA, soccer and more.

This week on Sport Lárige, Waterford FC manager Graham takes us inside his side’s statement win over Bohemians, from the ferocious first-half press to the culture and standards now driving the dressing room. I’m also joined by man-of-the-match full-back Benny Kuto, who reflects on his injury comeback, all-action display, and why this group now believes it can beat anyone. Later, Waterford GAA’s Gavin Whelan updates us on a bumper weekend for the county’s underage hurlers, including the Tony Forristal and Sonny Walsh tournaments and key U15 and U16 fixtures. Tramore Racecourse general manager Owen Byrne drops in to preview a packed four-day August Festival on the coast, before Dawn Roberts from Tramore Mothers & Others explains how a social Gaelic football team has become a community force — and why they’re fundraising hard for a special trip to New York.
