About this listen

Episode 4 of The Ladies Gaelic Football Podcast on FinalWhistle continues the comprehensive coverage of the 2026 Lidl National Football League, with the panel diving into another weekend packed with talking points across the divisions.

Host Diarmuid Kearney is joined once again by Emma Kelly, while Joanne Doonan returns to the line-up, thankfully in one piece, after missing Episode 3 following a busy hen party weekend. The team looks back at Cork’s win over Armagh in Division 1, along with the key moments from Round 4 in Division 4.

Together, the trio break down the standout performances, tactical trends, and emerging storylines shaping the league, bringing insight from both the dressing room and the press box as the season begins to take clearer shape.

The focus then shifts to the weekend ahead, with Round 4 across Divisions 1 to 3 and Round 5 in Division 4, where momentum is becoming increasingly important and the pressure is already mounting for teams chasing promotion or trying to avoid a relegation scrap.

This week’s special guest is Emma Cleary, who joins the show to discuss Cork’s encouraging return to Division 1, being named captain at just 25, their upcoming derby clash with Kerry, and dealing with the external narrative around relegation talk prior to the league getting underway.

Expert analysis, player perspective, and everything you need to stay across a fast-moving Lidl National League — all at the Final Whistle.
