Episode 2094: Brendán Óg Duffy’s Death Overshadows Ulster Championship Weekend, Dubs Wobble Again, And How To Stop A Team Running Down The Clock
Brendán Óg Duffy’s death in a car-crash at the weekend, mere hours after he had led Monaghan’s u-20 team to Ulster final victory, cast a pall over the entire GAA weekend. Oisin McConville and Paul Flynn lead the tributes.
