Show Notes
No prizes for guessing what takes up most of this weeks podcast. After 3 hugely successful seasons, Damien Duff resigned as manager of Shelbourne Football Club. The lads discuss the fallout of a defeat against Derry, the happenings of Sunday morning, and what lies ahead. They discuss their pride in how the players and staff performed in Waterford, and how Shels were unlucky not to take all three points. There's all that, plus another massive win in Sligo for our WPD side, and the lads look ahead to a massive FAI Cup tie against Galway this Saturday. Add in listener comments, and of course The Richie Rankings, and it's another busy episode of The 1895 Podcast.

Positivity is (finally) back on the 1895 Podcast. Doody and Ben soak up Shelbourne’s first league win since July — a mad, dramatic night in Dundalk where the Reds were full value, showed real urgency, and somehow still had to do it the hard way.
