Frank Diamond- Leaving the priesthood and winning an All-Ireland
Winning an All-Ireland club with Lavey, captain of all his school teams, Sigerson leader at Maynooth and at one stage the only Priest, playing Gaelic Football. Times have changed, but at 40 "Fr Frank" decided the priesthood wasn't for him anymore. A big call, He now works for mental health charity ALPS, connecting with young people is his thing. Dromantine retreat outside Newry was the spot where Frank connected with young people, perhaps first, leaving a lasting impression. He spent most of his ministry in Africa, with some of the world’s poorest people. But, with guitar in hand and singing his favourite Christy Moore songs, Africa became home. Malaria almost killed him, more than once- but he kept going back. Life has moved in a different direction. Frank now has two daughters. Carina is six, Laoise is 11. Laoise has Down syndrome and brings "absolute joy to my life and everyone around her" This is his story, a nomadic existence and still making a difference.

Tommy Walsh. Kerry in the blood. Football, life and loss
When Tommy Walsh burst onto the Kerry scene, he was the talk of the country. A similar trajectory to the David Clifford journey in those early days. Talented, physically developed and a year after playing in an All-Ireland minor final, he was with the seniors and Kerry won Sam Maguire. In 2008 there was an All-Ireland final against Tyrone "The Twin Towers of Donaghy & Walsh." The Kerins O'Rahilly's clubman, left Ireland for a career in the AFL. First with St Kilda, then Sydney Swans. Walsh returned in 2015 and finished with three Munster titles, two All-Ireland's and lifted Sam Maguire with his brother Barry-John. Tommy's father Seán Walsh is the holder of seven All-Ireland medals. It's in the blood. Life after football has generally been good. He still resembles the big Russian out of the film Rocky IV “I get that a bit.” He's married to Dawn, they’ve a beautiful young daughter but in September 2025 their lives were hit hard. Tommy and Dawn lost twin boys and it's been a tough journey since. Blessed with good families and friends, Tommy is moving forward and comes across spectacularly well in this podcast. Coaching might be down the line, but for now it's enjoying life as best he can and reflecting on a successful career. Sport transported him to Australia, but "My mind was always in Kerry" The magnificent Tommy Walsh on the GAA Social

War in Killarney, Cork, Tyrone & Galway through. Tailteann Cup
Kerry 0-16 Donegal 2-20. Where do we start? Oisin believes the GAA have backed themselves into a corner with Ger Brennan, and Jim McGuinness will face a suspension. He doesn’t believe David Clifford should have been sent off. “We could chat about this game for 9 hours there’s that much stuff.” It feels like we’re now in real championship, a huge win for Donegal in Killarney.Cork beat Meath with lots of love for Steven Sherlock and equal reverance for Rob Finnerty in what he’s doing at Galway. Tyrone weren’t brilliant, but found a way, on an emotion day for the county. Frank McGuigan passed away this weekend, we did a spectacular podcast with him two years ago, we reflect on his life and response since his passing. He was the King. Tailteann Cup games, surprise for Down against Offaly, while Waterford, Limerick, Carlow and Clare say goodbye to the football championship. Cork play Clare in the Munster hurling final and Kilkenny are out! Their earliest elimination since 1996

"I've just been diagnosed with cancer" Eoin McNicholl, Derry goalkeeper
Eoin McNicholl, 41, is a former Derry goalkeeper. More importantly, he's one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. He’s always been that guy. He played in the All-Ireland winning team of 2002, won a MacRory & Hogan Cup with St Patrick's College Maghera and he progressed into the Derry senior setup. He now works for the GAA in sports science, specialising in statistics. He's just been diagnosed with cancer and has agreed to come on this podcast. Between chemotherapy cycles, he sits down with Thomas and Oisin to emphasise the importance of checking yourself. Despite the subject, this is a beautiful listen. Emotion, laughter, full-on craic and considered thoughts. Eoin is from Glenullin, green and gold to the core, just like all the McNicholls. He's married to Sinead and they have three kids. The McNicholls have travelled this road before. Eoin lost his younger sister Clodagh to cancer, when she was just 6. The former goalkeeper is determined to get better and continue to live life to the full. A powerful listen. The magnificent Eoin McNicholl on the GAA Social

Mikey Sheehy- the greatest goalscorer in Kerry football.
He's hit the net more than any Kerry player in history. His accolades are outstanding. Clifford is chasing him down, but hasn't caught him yet. With club and County, Mikey Sheehy achieved it all. One of the greatest Gaelic footballers of all time. This is his life, his story and and what he's learned along the way. The Ups of success, the downs of missing a penalty in the 1982 All-Ireland final against Offaly. The day the dream for five died. The close connection to the Dublin team, growing up and his take on this current Kerry team. His admiration for Mick O'Dwyer and who is the greatest of them all? The great Mikey Sheehy (and Cara, the most well behaved grandchild in the world) on the GAA Social. Lovely
