Never take for granted your local GAA Club, a lesson I've learned.
In a time of restrictions & uncertainty having training in the evenings or a game to look forward to has been everything 👏
Brilliant from this young Irish fan, what a natural!
He walked away from our chat and said...
''Thanks Dad, I never thought I get to do an interview on Off The Ball'' 👏
🗣"I loved Jack Charlton's style of play, I did...Kenny's style of play is alright, it is."
We 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒏𝒐𝒕 expect this young man to be a Jack Charlton superfan😂
What an interview, @AshOReilly!
🗣️ 'We were questioning if this would ever happen'
@FossaGaa's David Clifford reflects on his spectacular 2022 and looks towards @Kerry_Official's 2023 hopes after his side booked a date in Croke Park in the Club Junior final | 🏐

Visiting schools in Tyrone with Celtic Legend John Hartson. Their reaction to meeting John was so heartwarming.
John came from a council estate in Wales & made it as a pro footballer scoring over a 100 goals for Celtic.
An inspirational story & a day these kids won’t forget 🙌🏼
What Rachael Blackmore is doing at Cheltenham is something we have never seen in Sport before, competiting at the top level, where gender doesnt come into it & she's absolutely killing it 🔥 #CheltenhamFestival
🗣"He's not making excuses like some of the bolloxes."
🗣"I'd rather have left my wife than see [Kenny] go."
@AshOReilly - "You're hoping she doesn't see this"
🗣"I don't mind, she might leave me then and she might be better off."
Absolutely gas craic this fella is😂
It’s safe to say my younger self wouldn’t believe this one…
Delighted to be joining @GAAGO as their pitchside reporter for the Championship season
Grateful for the opportunity & excited to get going this weekend 🙌🏼
I can’t believe I’ve been nominated for Sports Broadcaster of the year
It means so much & I’m so grateful to be mentioned alongside these brilliant broadcasters, who I’ve learnt a lot from
10 year old Aisling, kicking & pucking ball on the GAA pitch, wouldn’t believe this one
This is absolute madness that Glen have until Wednesday to lodge an objection… It shouldn’t be left to Glen! The GAA decide the rules they should be deciding the outcome of this situation. I feel sorry for both teams at this stage
This picture sums up how a lot of players feel at the end of a season.
Sport can give you some of the best days but also some of the worst. When you work so hard for something & it doesn't work out it can be very tough to take.A part of the game that needs to be spoke about more
Such a special moment when Katie McCabe & Aine O’Gorman spotted Emma Byrne last night 😭
What a massive part Emma has played in laying the foundations for this to be possible 🙌🏼 🇮🇪
@Katie_McCabe11@Aineogor9@emmsb30@offtheball
Flying solo on @offtheball AM 🙌🏽
A pitch me moment to be honest, my desk for Newstalk was directly outside the OTB Studio. For years I watched everyday, hoping one day I would be asked on.
Today I presented the show… Madness!
Thanks @TomasORuanaidh for keeping me calm 😅
A moment I will never forget, pitchside for @offtheball as Ireland won the Grand Slam ☘️
A pinch me moment in my reporting career for sure 🙌🏼
What a team 🇮🇪
Never thought I'd get to meet this man never mind interview him, an absolute honor to share the stage with the icon Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh 🙌
I introduced myself before we went on stage and told him I would be interviewing him, he replied remember your in charge now 😅
#GAA
When Dad's closed the pub so he brings the pub to us 👌😂
White TK, Bacon Fries and Club Milks what more could ya want?! 😅
#Carberrys#Dunshaughlin#StayAtHome
Met a man in the lift on the way into Croke Park he said i'v a feeling its going to be a hammering... I looked at him puzzled... Have you been watching a different Meath team to me this year??
As meath captain Shauna Ennis said...We believed when no else did
Hon the Royals 🔥
There's something magic about All Ireland Day 🔥
A pinch me moment to be working at it alongside Kilkenny Legend Tommy Walsh 🙌🏼
If you want to get a sense of what it's like to be here, tune into @offtheball... Tommy will no doubt make you feel like your alongside us
Just overheard a father & son chatting at the FAI Cup Final, the son is about 9/10 years old.
He asked his dad ‘Do you think the Ireland women’s team are better than the men’s” 😆
I love that young lads are growing up knowing all about the Women’s team 👏🏼
I feel extremely lucky to be here in Croke Park on All Ireland Hurling Final Day 🙌🏼
Who better to spend the game with than the great Tommy Walsh, his passion for the game is infectious!
Tune into @offtheball, Tommy will make you feel like your sitting right beside us!
“Mícheál O'Muircheartaigh was the best psychologist I ever had”
From Mícheál training the Dublin based players to the tradition of 18 holes of pitch & putt the morning of an All Ireland Final 😅
What a pleasure to sit & chat with the all time great Jack O’Shea 🙌🏼
@offtheball
It's All Ireland Final Day 👏🏼
Meath Vs Dublin 💥
Who better to be alongside than one of the best to play the game Cora Staunton 🙌🏼
Updates on @offtheball@LadiesFootball@duckie15#LGFA
Excited and nervous as hell to announce my own GAA Show with @Sportstalkdotie 🙌

Delighted to announce our brand new G.A.A Show with new recruit @ashoreilly.

First snippet coming today @ 1pm #PlayOn
“I really want these guys to have a good life after hurling… I want them to feel fulfilled off the pitch as much as they are on the pitch. Not everything is about sport. There is another side to all of our lives that matters”
Really enjoyed this chat with John Kiely
🗣"It's a great sporting city, Limerick."
🗣"The frisbee world championships were on here last week."
John Kiely pays tribute to Limerick city, @LimerickCLG, his friends and his family after another All-Ireland success.
@BGEGAA | #GAA
Really enjoyed chatting to @TomParsons_8 such an interesting and positive way of looking at life 👏
The full chat is on the @SportsMind_Irl Instagram page if you would like to check it out 🙌
New York have made history winning their first ever championship game 👏🏼
Down’s Michael Cunningham brilliant all night in goals for @NewYorkGAA very little fazes him!
Very fitting New York born Mikey Brosnan scored the winning penalty 🇺🇸
A moment I'll always look back on and wonder did that really happen, getting to interview the GAA icon Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh.
Happy 90th Birthday Mícheál 👏
A very emotional Mick Bohan & understandably so, he's extremely proud of those Dublin girls...
I just watched him wait outside Meath's dressing room while all players & managers finished their post match interviews so he could speak to them all ... Class 👏🏼
🗣'I have to take my hat off to Meath. I thought they were outstanding.'
Mick Bohan speaks with @ashoreilly after Dublin's loss to Meath.
Bohan paid tribute to a phenomenal Meath performance and also to his group of players who have achieved so much over the past years. | ⬇️
‘I’m shaking hands continuously. I was at a hospital the other night where there were actually some Coronavirus patients & I shook hands with everybody.'
Eh no words...
“The last time I was in Clones was 2015 winning the Ulster minor final against Cavan and I walked up those steps and seen one man, Martin McGuiness and if he was here today he would be pretty happy’’
🗣️"It's been a long 24 years."
Conor Glass speaks to @AshOReilly after Derry win the Ulster Championship.
🗣️"There wouldn't be one person left in the county today, north or south."
🔴⚪
@AIB_GAA#TheToughest
It was great to get a chance to chat to Peter O’Mahony. Loved how honest he was here…
“My eldest is letting me know, I’m not around that often & why all the other dads can drop them to school and I can’t”
“Growing up I wanted to be a Noel McGrath, a Seamie Callanan, a Bonner Maher, and to play with them now is something special”
Loved this from Alan Tynan and what a performance on just his second championship game 👏🏼
@GAAGO
Mayo's Tom Parsons hangs up the boots after 11 seasons 👏
Had a really interesting chat with him in November speaking of his road to recovery after his injury and the coping mechanisms he used.
Gentleman & a brilliant player! All the best Tom 🙌
''Cork in the All Ireland, a dirty fry up, Copper Face Jacks & everywhere else in between, walk up to Croke Park, see Cork win the All Ireland, go demented then"
I asked @_Davy_Russel_ his ideal day off, my god what a day off it would be 😂
@OfficialCorkGAA@Sportstalkdotie
'Now *that's* realism, there!' 💥
@ashoreilly went along see how intense things can get at a @ParisGaelsGAA training session 🏐
Be careful what you wish for... 👀
Katie Taylor 🙌🏼🇮🇪
Two Weight Undisputed World Champion!
She said afterwards she couldn’t believe people were writing her off, to never doubt her.
What an incredible athlete. She really is different level 👏🏼
Her dream is Croke Park, it has to happen ☘️
🗣"Absolutely going full demented."
🗣"I'm waiting for Gucci now to give me the endorsement."
Darragh O'Donovan and David Reidy are 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 enjoying the celebrations in Limerick😂
(The last 90 seconds might go a bit off the rails🤣)
🎙️@AshOReilly@BGEGAA | #GAA

Playing dual is important to me and my teammates but situations like this discourage girls from playing both
