Kerry have answered the doubters and those who questioned if they had the mettle to come through the pressure.  

They’re All-Ireland champions once again, thanks in no small part to David Clifford’s striking performance, beating Galway 0-20 to 0-16.

Dick Clerkin and Michael Verney joined Will Slattery for a special Throw-In podcast after the final whistle from Croke Park with all the post-match analysis and reaction.

The Throw-In Live: Kerry are Champions – the post-match reaction & analysis from Croke Park

On this week’s Throw-In football show, Dick Clerkin and Donnchadh Boyle join Will Slattery to break down Galway’s bounce back into form over a Derry team still reeling from a bruising Ulster campaign.

Donnchadh explains why he believes that despite their loss, the body of work put in by Mickey Harte’s men does not rule them out of the running.

Elsewhere, Kerry - despite having what Dick said was a ‘quiet’ David Clifford ‘ made light work of Monaghan in the first of their All-Ireland round-robin clashes.

Meanwhile, we look ahead to some of next weekend’s All-Ireland clashes, where the team give their thoughts on where Donegal and Tyrone sit among the challengers for Sam Maguire.

Football: Galway back in All-Ireland picture; Donegal aren’t as good as they think

Controversy reigned in Clare’s one-point win over Waterford, but it sets up a thrilling final weekend. 
 
John Mullane and Eddie Brennan join Michael Verney to break down the weekend’s action. John states his case for more referees being involved in senior games as ‘players deserve the best’, while Eddie believes that with Hawk-Eye, it should be ‘everywhere or nowhere’.
 
In terms of the runners and riders, Cork have hit the type of form that could get Leesiders dreaming again, while Waterford are poised to threaten Limerick’s drive for five. 
 
And in Leinster, Kilkenny and Wexford prepare for a game set for both sides to throw the kitchen sink - the only difference is that Wexford are coming in off the back of a ruthless victory, where Kilkenny could barely defeat the Dubs.

Hurling: Anger over Clare’s 65 does not cloud belief that Waterford could stop Limerick’s drive for five

On this week’s Throw-In football show, Colm Keys and Frank Roche join Will Slattery to break down Donegal’s triumph in the Ulster final after what was a supremely difficult route to the decider. 

Armagh were the latest victim to Jim McGuinness’s tactical nous, but Colm suspects that Kieran McGeeney’s side got too comfortable when they got four points ahead despite a high-quality showing in the first half. 

Meanwhile, Dublin won another Leinster title, but they were not without challenge as Louth pushed them all the way. The team outline why Con O’Callaghan is now the front-runner to be player of the year.
