Ciara Mageean died this morning. A light has gone out in the world. Authentic, talented, decent. Her kindness and wonderful personality was a joy to watch and see. Then came her iconic sporting achievements. When we sat down with Ciara for the GAA Social in July, she received disappointing news the day before. Ciara didn’t want to cancel, so we recorded on the Tuesday. It’s 90 minutes Oisin & myself will always treasure. She was the best of us. To Thomas, I’m so sorry. She was mad about you. To the Mageean family, all her great friends and the Portaferry community- what a stunning human being, to call one of your own. This is so unfair. I’ve never met a person who met Ciara, who didn’t love her. A one off.

The GAA Social is back and we’ve gone to Mayo. Jack Carney, midfielder, should pick-up his first All-star on Friday and has been shortlisted for POTY. We also talk 2027. It’s a beautiful listen. 🎧Listen here:

Outrageous accomplishment by Conor McKenna this morning. Two sports, two countries, two different balls and reached the pinnacle in both (again) The biggest day in Australian sport, and a lad from Eglish stuck in the middle of it. Another goal too. Delighted for him🙌🏼
