We continue our celebration of high performers during the Autumn football cycle with interviews from Cathal Dunne and Andy Quinn

Cathal highlights the changes between seasons that saw the Minotaurs flag program become D1 Champions and his goals for 2025, while Boston College's hottest new recruit kicks it back with the guys to discuss his growth as a player during his time with the NFL Academy and Irish Wolfhounds, some key moments in this year's Wolfhounds games, and the possibility of returning to Ireland with BC

In this episode, Kelly & Ian welcome a pair of National Champions. Joe Grey of the South Dublin Panthers joins us after their third Emerald Bowl win in a row, along with Robbie Alexander fresh from coaching the Belfast Knight Youth team to a National Title, and of course adding 2 more national caps to his ever growing football CV.

The Irish Wolfhounds Senior American Football secure their first competitive win in programme history, with a with a nail-biting 2-min drill to finish 18-13 against the Dutch Lions in the IFAF European Championships.
Kelly and Joe are joined on the podcast by John Hanbury (H) and Adam Jere (DB) who each played key roles on offence and defence respectively.

We also touch on the weekend’s flag action as the regular season starts to close, and preview the youth football playoffs upcoming at the NSC 27th October.

Meatloaf says 2 out of 3 ain't bad and - when it comes to Football Codes and Hosts - we think he's right. Kelly & Ian tackle Flag and Youth's ongoing domestic seasons, having a peek at each playoff picture. We demonstrate how tricky it can be airing live scores as they come in, and try and set records in both shout-outs across the league and in Father Ted quotes. Yeah it's that kind of episode.

We've made it to the latter half of the 2024 Youth, 2024 Premier and 2024 Division 1 Flag football calendars, and with competition across all 3 active leagues being stronger than it's ever been, the run-up to late October and early November has never looked more exciting!

Kelly, Ian and Joe retrace the steps taken over the past few weeks on the paths to all 3 title games, Acknowledge (👆) some top performers, and fill out their brackets for the "If the Season Ended Today" playoff pictures

This week our hosts are joined by a Wolfhounds Contingent including Alan Orr (Director of Wolfhounds), Ciaran O'Sullivan (Irish Wolfhounds HC), Brendan Kelleher (Irish Wolfhounds DC) as they discuss the upcoming series against the Netherlands and Turkey.

In the Premier Division, the top seeds played it out against each other. Division One South and Division One North continue their trifecta of meetings. And Dunboyne WildGoats are still the best team in the country in Division One Central with Minotaurs on their heels in the #2 seed, both 4-0.
