Episode 1886: Kerry Are League Champions, Mayo Relegated, Conor McKenna Shows Returning AFL Stars How It’s Done

Oisin McConville and Andy Moran are our gaelic football analysts for the coming championship, and they have plenty to talk about today as Kerry are crowned National League champions, Mayo are relegated, and Tyrone have a superstar (or two!) on their hands.

We discuss what’s changed with Kerry, why Oisin can’t figure out what’s going on with Dessie Farrell’s Dubs, and why Mayo can’t allow all their experienced heads to drift away at the same time, particularly while they’re in Division 2.

Plus there’s Tony Kelly scratching about for a bit of help around the place, friend of the podcast Mike Quirke’s great escape, and we salute Conor McKenna, back in Ireland a wet week and already playing well enough to distract attention from Peter Canavan’s son scoring 1-1 on his national league debut.
