The KCLR Hurling Podcast

Show Notes

Eddie Scally is away this week, so Micky flew solo. We also hear from Adrian Ronan, and we analyse the opening weekend of the Carlow Senior Hurling Championship. Plus, we discuss the benefits of bringing an outsider onto the committee to help select a new Kilkenny manager — and whether a recent retiree should be involved in that process.
