13.52 – Dia daoibh agus beannachtaí Lá Fhéile Phádraig daoibh go léir.

I’m ashamed to say that’s about the limit of my Leaving Cert Irish – good afternoon, happy St Patrick’s Day and welcome to this afternoon’s live coverage of the All-Ireland club finals.

The first of this afternoon’s double-header gets underway in less than 10 minutes. We’re starting with the hurling between Loughgiel Shamrocks of Antrim and the men from Coolderry, County Offaly.

I’ll have the teams for you presently.

14.44 – What do you say to your men if you’re Coolderry manager Ken Hogan? They’ve created and taken plenty of chances in attack but they’ll need to find a way to live with the Loughgiel forwards — Scullion and Watson in particular — if they’re to have any chance.
