Episode 2705: Clifford POTY Controversy, World Cup Shock-A-Thon, How The Marley Family Saved The Reggae Girlz
It’s been a few days since the All Ireland final, a game in which David Clifford underwhelmed, but the debate over POTY has only increased in intensity as the week has gone on. Ken, Murph, Ken and Paul Flynn’s tweet, wade in.
This Women’s World Cup has been full of shocks, and the latest saw one of the tournament favourites, Germany, go out at the group stages after they could only draw with South Korea. We discuss the growing trend of minnows besting the big beasts.
The Jamaican women’s team were disbanded twice in recent times, only to be revived both times thanks to the time, love and funding from Bob Marley’s daughter, Cedella. Jamaican sports journalist Karen Madden joins us from Kingston.
