We hear reports and reaction after the Manchester Derby, and Chelsea's late win over QPR in the Premier League. Former Cork Captain Larry Tompkins gives us his analysis of Cork's National Football League Semi final victory over Donegal, in a conversation that veers down the road of the state of football and a style of play that is lacking in entertainment value according to the All Ireland Winner. Cork Manager Brian Cuthbert joins us for his reaction after the four point victory, and also answers Tompkins criticisms of the game. Cork Ladies Captain Ciara O'Sullivan speaks to us after their league defeat to Dublin today, as they now begin preparations for a semi final against Munster rivals Kerry.
