It’s a little late and a little long, but after the busiest weekend in the GAA calendar so far, this week’s Game of Throw-Ins is well worth the wait.

It’s a little late and a little long, but after the busiest weekend in the GAA calendar so far, this week’s Game of Throw-Ins is well worth the wait.

With the qualifiers kicking into gear in the football, four football provincial semi-finals taking place and the small matter of the Dubs causing one of the biggest shocks in the hurling championship in many a year, the lads had no shortage of things to talk about in the longest but most action packed episode of Game of Throw-Ins to date.

Host Conor Heneghan is joined as usual by Sean Nolan, Declan Whooley and sports journalist Shane Stapleton (follow him on Twitter @shanesaint) to talk about an awesome Dubs side dismantling Kildare at Croke Park, a proper Ulster contest in Clones and brilliant scenes in Portlaoise and Roscommon as the Dublin hurlers and the London footballers advanced to their respective provincial finals.

There is also a look ahead to the biggest ever game in the hurling qualifiers when Tipp and Kilkenny go head to head in Nowlan Park, the Leinster hurling final and the Munster football final and with both Tony Browne and Mickey Linden rolling back the years over the weekend, the lads discuss some of the oldest players to have played GAA over the years, including one club footballer in Mayo who ‘smokes like a fish’.

As is the case every week, Shane once again posed a few questions from the Experience More challenge and everyone put their necks on the line with predictions for all the games in the Football Championship this weekend.
