The Echo Sport Podcast takes in all the latest GAA action, with a focus on the 37-man squad picked by Pat Ryan and his selectors for the hurling league.
Now in it's third season, every week Éamonn Murphy will be joined by The Echo team including Barry O'Mahony, Denis Hurley, Rory Noonan, John Horgan and more to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field.
The hurlers have another weekend off before their next league game, away to Tipp, but revealed the panel they'll use for the rest of the spring with some of last year's squad cut. That included Seán Twomey, who started the Munster championship game in Waterford in 2024, and Conor Cahalane, who has significant championship experience.
Could a dark horse come into the set-up between here and the provincial campaign, like Power last summer? Jack Leahy perhaps, given his excellent form with UL on the back of a county title for Imokilly?
A number of Rebels are involved in the Fitzgibbon Cup semi-final with UCC and MTU Cork hoping to set up an all-Leeside final. We preview their chances against DCU and UL.
The Cork footballers are back in league action at home to Westmeath. They'd a thrilling victory over Meath in the opener but lost on the road to Down in their second outing, a significant blow to their promotion hopes.
They've proved adept at kicking two-pointers but their defence will need to be tighter as they build for championship.
In the Cork U21 club championships, the new rules helped serve up some extremely entertaining games.
On the camogie front, there was more heartbreak for UCC. Since capturing a 32nd Ashbourne Cup in 2003 they've now lost nine finals. The Cork ladies footballers made it two wins from three league games as they bid to escape from Division 2. Joe Carroll's charges hit Tipp for three goals with the return of Erika O'Shea from Aussie Rules a major boost for the Rebels.
