Episode 1506: Feel-Good Monday, Wonderful Wexford Double, The Davy Job, Hungry Hungry Limerick
The first part of the hurling summer has ended, and it’s ended with Wexford and Limerick on top in Leinster and Munster. If that sounds like it has a real mid-90s vibe to it, then you’d be right.
Hurling Uber-mensch and the soul of Wexford, Liam Griffin, tells us why winning on the double, in minor and in senior, was so important for Wexford, and why it’s a reward for hard work, planning, an exceptional playing group, and for Davy Fitz’s application.
Two-time all-star Seamus Hickey wasn’t surprised by anything he saw from Limerick yesterday, as they dismantled the form team of the summer so far Tipperary in the Munster final. He tells us what drives this young team forward.
Plus there’s the homecoming kings, an attack on Wicklow from Murph, two fingers to Oliver Cromwell, professional fouls, flawless hurling, and feel-good vibes all over the place.
