The Mayo club football championships will begin in a matter of weeks and the leagues are nearly over.
Balla’s Ger Flanagan and Aghamore manager Paddy Finnegan join Mike to chat about the season so far and to look ahead to the championship.
The lads discuss a range of topics, including which teams are moving well, what impact the new rules are having, the issue of players going to the US for the summer, and how teams prepare for championship.

As the search for a new Mayo manager begins, there are still more questions than answers.
Billy Joe Padden and Nigel Reape join Mike and Rob to look at the lie of the land and to chat about where things could and should go from here.

The lads talk about the type of person that Mayo GAA should be looking for, the sort of structural change that is required, and the kind of other appointments that should also be on the agenda in order to change things for the better.

Next month marks 48 years since St Colman’s College, Claremorris became the first Mayo school to win the All-Ireland Colleges Senior ‘A’ championship title.
Next Monday, St Colman’s will compete in the Hogan Cup Final at Croke Park trying to emulate the achievements of the 1977 group.
Mike sat down with three members of that famous team, Eugene Macken, the captain, and Charlie Gilmartin and Padraic Coyne for a stroll down memory lane.

The EirGrid Mayo Football Podcast Club Stars awards were a great success back in December.
This week the Club Stars’ charity partner - Down Syndrome Mayo - were presented with their proceeds from the night.
Colm Boyle and James Carty from DS Mauro joined John, Mike and Rob at Knockranny House Hotel for the cheque presentation, to reflect back on the night and talk some football.

There were emotional scenes at Croke Park on Sunday as Crossmolina beat Ballinderry in the All-Ireland Intermediate club final in the most dramatic of circumstances.

A penalty from Conor Loftus six minutes into added time won the day and sparked scenes of bittersweet emotions and celebrations.

Mike and John were there to witness history being made, and we also hear from Crossmolina manager Brian Benson, man of the match Níall Coggins and Fionan Duffy.

Our decision to bring back the Club Stars awards was well and truly vindicated on Friday night when a capacity crowd turned up at Knockranny House Hotel in Westport.

This show brings you behind the scenes and into the midst of a great night’s entertainment.

Rob and John caught up with some of the award winners over the course of the night, including James Maheady, Conor Loftus, Janette O'Malley and Sam Callinan. They also chatted to special guest, Oisin McConville.

You can also hear some audio from Aidan O'Shea, Sam Callinan, Niall Heffernan, Justin Healy, Alan Dillion, Tommy O'Malley and Liam Breheny.

Books are always a good Christmas present choice and Edwin McGreal's 'Our Finest Hour', in which over 50 Mayo GAA clubs reflect on their own individual day of glory, has the makings of a fine festive gift. Ed joins Rob and John on the pod to chat about the book and the many stories and photos it contains within its covers.

Also on this pod, ahead of Friday's now sold-out Club Stars event Mike chats with Seán Regan of Ballina Stephenites and Tooreen. Seán will be presented at the Club Stars event with an Outstanding Achievement Award (sponsored by Connacht GAA), having won back-to-back county medals in football and hurling with Ballina and Tooreen respectively.

The final countdown is on to the Club Stars awards on Friday, December 13th.

John, Mike and Rob look ahead to the big night and we hear from the now former Kilmeena manager, John Reilly, who will be presented with a Special Achievement award on the night.
Mike sat down with John recently to talk about his time managing his home club, which coincided with winning Mayo Junior and Intermediate championships, as well as an All-Ireland Intermediate crown.
They also talked about what makes club players tick, why John loves coaching, and what he plans to do next.
