    Sounds of the Summer: The Shefflin era at Kilkenny, the Herity influence and is it the right time? | Paul Murphy

    Welcome to our Sounds of the Summer podcast, a look back, and look forward, to some of the biggest GAA stories which dominated 2026. In this episode, All-Ireland winner and Hurling Pod regular Paul Murphy joins Colm Boohig and Ger Gilroy to dig into Henry Shefflin’s appointment as Kilkenny manager, and the big question: is now the right time? Murphy chats backroom-team possibilities, what Shefflin learned from Galway, the importance of puck-out strategy and tactical flexibility, and why a “reset” could be exactly what Kilkenny’s panel needs after a season that felt like a crisis of confidence.

    Sounds of the Summer: Juggling a career and intercounty GAA, professionalism and the AFL influence | Anton Tohill

    Welcome to our Sounds of the Summer podcast, a look back, and look forward, to some of the biggest GAA stories which dominated 2026.

He also opens up on being left out of Derry’s plans this year, the amateur status “tipping point”, and why more support for players is becoming unavoidable.

They also go deep on the bigger challenge: growing hurling in non-traditional counties, getting hurleys in kids’ hands, building coaching and games programmes, and what the new government funding is really designed to do.

    Sounds of the Summer: The sorry state of Antrim hurling | Terence McNaughton

    Terence McNaughton joined Off The Ball Breakfast back in February to give a brutally honest assessment of where Antrim hurling is at under Davy Fitzgerald, after a worrying run of league form and that loss to Kildare. He breaks down why the current system isn’t suiting the players, the confidence issue in the group, and how key losses like Neil McManus and Conor McCann have changed what Antrim need to be. And it goes beyond the senior team: McNaughton lays out what he sees as the real problem in Belfast and Ulster hurling, from schools links to structures, funding, and why “throwing good money after bad” won’t fix foundations.
