The Echo Sport Podcast: Brilliant Blarney, Sars remain unbeaten, Clon pay penalty and picking a Hurler of the Week

On The Echo Sport Podcast this week, Denis Hurley and Barry O'Mahony join Éamonn Murphy after a cracking weekend of Cork club GAA action where the torrents of rain didn't impact on the quality of the games.

It's Imokilly against Sarsfields in the Premier Senior final, a repeat of last year's semi which the club side won after a dramatic late Luke Elliot goal. The divsion look unbeatable right now but Sars are going for consecutive doubles.

It'll be Blarney versus Glen Rovers at Senior A as the favourites lived up to their billing but only after two arm-wrestles in the Páirc.

Carrigaline showed their fortitude to stave off a Ballincollig comeback in PIHC and Denis Walsh's St Catherine's are back in the Premier Junior decider.

On the football front, Nemo Rangers head into a semi-final with Mallow but only after Ross Corkery's penalty knocked out Clon, with Gabriel Rangers getting past Mitchelstown at Intermediate A.

They pick a Player of the Week, with St Catherine's Rory Galvin, Imokilly's Brian Lawton, Mark Coleman and Conor Lehane, as mercurial as ever for Midleton even in defeat, the leading candidates.

Plus they preview the football semi-finals across the top three grades, including the Senior A showdowns between Kanturk and Carrigaline along with Dohenys-Knocknagree, where all four clubs will fancy their chances of getting promoted to the top tier.

Plus they look ahead to the Rebel Óg Premier Minor Hurling finals, where it's Glen Rovers v Sars and St Finbarr's-Shandrum.
