HURLING: Ardrahan's Conor Cosgrove chat to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly after captaining Roscommon to Nicky Rackard Cup glory over Mayo

Two Ardrahan hurlers led their respective inter-county teams to All-Ireland championship silverware in Croke Park on Saturday (31st May 2025).

With plenty of Galway involvement across the three games taking place, Conor Cosgrove got the distinction of lifting the Nicky Rackard Cup for Roscommon following their thrilling 3-16 to 1-21 win over Mayo.

And not long after leading his team to national silverware, Conor Cosgrove joined Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly on the QFinancial.ie Saturday Sports Show.

Then 2017 Galway All-Ireland winner Jonathan Glynn made it a historic day for his club, and his adopted county, as New York won the Lory Meagher Cup with a 4-17 to 2-17 victory over Cavan.

And Ardrahan also had a third winner as Stephen Whelan was part of the London team that beat Derry 1-27 to 1-24 in the Christy Ring Cup Final.

FOOTBALL: Former Galway player Barry Cullinane with Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly ahead of Galway's clash with Derry in the All-Ireland Senior Championship

It could be a case of winner takes all on Sunday (1st June 2205) when Galway travel to Derry in Round 2 of the group stages of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.

After opening day defeats for both counties, defeat could result in elimination from the All-Ireland championship.  In Galway's case, they would need Dublin to beat Armagh if they lose to the Oak Leaf County.  The Tribemen's record though is superb with five wins from as many championship meetings.

Leading up to the game, former Galway player Barry Cullinane joined Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly on 'Over The Line' to look ahead to the contest.
