"I’m getting so worried about Clare now that it wouldn’t surprise me if Shane O’Donnell lined out on Sunday at the edge of the square"
0:00 - 6:03 - Intro
6:03 - 33:29 - It’s make-or-break for both Clare and Louth this Sunday when they face off in a winner-takes-all showdown for a place in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Preliminary Quarter-Finals a week later. Everything you need to know about this pivotal clash is right here as Kieran Madigan and 'Louth and Proud' Podcast host Dan Bannon debate the plusses and minuses of the two sides of the divide.
33:29-1.00:13 - Skorts, sombreros, no it’s not the fashion section of Intensive Clare but an in-depth discussion with former Clare selector Ann-Marie McGann and freelance reporter Derek Dormer on Saturday’s Shannonside derby All-Ireland Camogie Championship double header in Ennis. The Under 23’s won but Clare's flagship side could only share the spoils with Limerick in what were crunch ties in their respective campaigns.
1.00:13 - 1.22:22 - What a weekend it was recently for Kevin Sammon who first guided Roscommon to the Nicky Rackard Cup in Croke Park before also helping the Clare minor hurlers to a fourth successive All-ireland Semi-Final in Thurles 24 hours later. Kevin reflects on the Rossies breakthrough and elevation to the Christy Ring Cup for 2026 while also looking forward to this Sunday’s last four minor clash with Cork in Semple Stadium at 1pm.
1.22:22 - Heartbreak for Brian Culbert’s Celtic Challenge side in their All-Ireland decider against Dublin but hope springs eternal that the marquee minor side can make amends this weekend. Clare’s ladies footballers made the arduous trip to Wexford on Sunday to take on their hosts in a group decider. Both sides are already through to the All-Ireland Intermediate LGFA Championship Quarter-Finals so there’s the carrot of home advantage for the winner. There’s a badminton tournament in Ennis Tennis and Badminton club this Sunday while three Banner natives are also part of Ireland’s Womens Rugby World Cup preparations
