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

With Mary McAleese stepping down from the integration committee, Suzanne Parker and Darren Shannon Ball talk about the gap in funding and facilities for camogie and ladies' football. 

And Waterford native Joe Baldwin, new Cavan senior hurling manager, talks about Fermanagh, his recovery from a stroke, and chasing Cavan's first Lory Meagher.

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.

This week on Sport Lárige on WLR, we’re reliving one of the great county finals at Fraher Field. I’ll be joined by Gavin Whelan to dissect Ballygunner’s 13-in-a-row triumph over Four Mile Water – why the champions dug it out despite misfiring, how the bench flipped the game, and what Four Mile’s phenomenal work-rate and controlled aggression tell us about their future.

We’ll also hear from Waterford FC boss Graham Coughlan and defender John Mann after the Blues’ superb 2–0 away win at St Patrick’s Athletic – their take on the clean sheet, resilience, and the mood heading into a huge FAI Cup quarter-final against Sligo Rovers at the RSC.

Helena Flynn and Peter Phelan are in the studio to preview Abbeyside’s “One club, one community, one future” weekend – the 24-hour cycle, 50k/100k road spins, family fun day, and raffle. And we’ll look ahead to “Battle in the Bay” at the Kilbarry Sports Centre with promoter Billy O’Sullivan and fighters Killian Freeman and David Pasoud, talking Irish title fights, mindset, and how their gym is supporting mental health and inclusion in the community.
