Donegal Sports Talk, our new weekly sports podcast, launched last Monday night and went down a bomb with Donegal’s sports fans – and episode two is coming your way tonight!
Donegal Sports Talk is the first joint venture between Donegal’s number 1 news website and Donegal’s top sports website following the recent announcement that the sites are joining forces.
Tonight, on episode two we will hear from Donegal Gaelic footballer Patrick McBrearty, local soccer star Julianne Herrity who has just returned from two brilliant years in America; and Letterkenny-based rally navigator Rory Kennedy.
Following Donegal’s opening Allianz League game of 2017, a 2-17 to 1-17 loss to Kerry in Letterkenny yesterday, Patrick McBrearty discusses that game and looks ahead to the campaign ahead.
In 2015 and 2016, Julianne Herrity hit the headlines while playing for the Carson-Newman Eagles in Tennessee. In 2015, Herrity – after hitting 14 goals – won the Player of the Year award and she was back on the Team of the Year in 2016, when she upped her goals tally to 16.
She talks to us about the American experience and her thoughts on the women’s game in Ireland and, of course, Donegal.
The Irish Tarmac Rally year began at the weekend. The Corrib Oil Galway International Rally was won by Fermanagh driver Garry Jennings. He was co-driven by Letterkenny man Rory Kennedy, who created some history. Kennedy joins us to discuss this event and more.
Donegal Sports Talk, presented by Chris McNulty and Charlie Collins, will be available at 9pm on Donegal Daily and Donegal Sport Hub.
