This week, Podge and Johnny are joined by Old Leighlin manager Brian Lonergan, fresh off leading his side to the Carlow championship title. Brian chats about the balance of working with dual-sport players, how the club manages both football and hurling commitments, and the mindset needed to make it work.

The lads discuss the advantage of facing one of the favourites early in the campaign, how it sharpens focus and sets standards from the start, before diving into Old Leighlin’s championship run and what drove their success. Brian also talks through his own journey into management, beginning in strength and conditioning before transitioning into the coaching side of things.

There’s also some chat around Johnny’s Dublin Marathon experience, the buzz around the city, and a look ahead at what’s next for Old Leighlin as they prepare to face some strong opposition in the future.
