The Echo Sport Podcast: Relief as hurlers progress but U20s hard done by; Donegal hit Cork in top form

RELIEF for the Rebels! Limerick did the business in the last quarter against Waterford on Sunday afternoon which means the Cork hurlers are now into the All-Ireland series.

Denis Hurley and Barry O'Mahony join Éamonn Murphy to look at who Pat Ryan's side have to beat to get back to Croke Park for the first time since 2021. The Rebels have only reached one All-Ireland semi-final in the last five seasons but that has to be the minimum requirement now.

We also look at the U20s' cruel defeat in the Munster final to Tipperary and the minors misfiring against Wexford. Should the minor job be a two- or three-year term, rather than the current system where a manager operates with the group from U15 to U17?

On the football front, Donegal are in Páirc Uí Rinn at the weekend and heavy favourites, what can Cork do to upset the Ulster champions? 

Plus a look at the club leagues.

You can find us every week on www.echolive.ie/podcast/ or wherever you get your podcasts.
