This Sunday, the search for Ireland's Kicking King returns to Galway. 

Run by Leader Kicking, the All-Ireland search brings free kicking clinics to ten venues across the country this summer, open to male and female athletes aged 16–24 from any sporting background - GAA, rugby, soccer or none of the above.

No American football experience is needed and most of the programme's success stories had never struck one before their first session.

Tadgh Leader spoke to John Mulligan about the search and also of the success of Leader Kicking over the past four years. 

On Hurling Chat this week, Joe Hession joins Niall and Sean to look back at the weekend Hurling action in the Senior and Premier Intermediate championships.
