In the finale of Season 2 of William Hill's The Square Ball we were delighted to be joined Kerry's Paudie Clifford, fresh from helping The Kingdom to All-Ireland Final glory.
In his first in-depth interview since the triumph over Donegal, Clifford speaks about the noise inside and outside the county about this Kerry team, the claims of being a one-man-show and his own injury which kept him at less than peak fitness in this year's championship.

Fresh from captaining Tipperary to their incredible All-Ireland Hurling Final triumph (and winning Man of the Match in the process) we are delighted to be joined by Ronan Maher on William Hill's Square Ball.
In an extraordinary open interview, Ronan reveals what was really said in that dressing room at half-time, the team's emotional visit the day before the game to the home of Dillon Quirke, their team-mate who tragically collapsed and died while playing a game in 2022; and, of course, lifts the lid on the celebrations that followed that spectacular second half at Croke Park.
This is fascinating and brilliant discussion of what goes into becoming a three-time All Ireland winner.

Meath legend Graham Geraghty joined William Hill's The Square Ball this week and what an excellent conversation it was with the two-time All-Ireland winner.
The interview touches on his health scare a few years ago and briefly looking at the upcoming games this weekend, before delving back into his entire career which was eventful to say the least.
On William Hill's The Square Ball this week, Dave and Ashling were joined by none other than Galway's much-beloved, Cyril Farrell.

There's very little left to say about Chrissy McKaigue that hasn't already been said.

If you were a forward playing Derry and say McKaigue coming your way, you knew you were in for a tough afternoon. Enjoy The Chrissy McKaigue episode of William Hill's The Square Ball.
