Episode 18 of The Ladies Gaelic Football Podcast on FinalWhistle is a near two-hour special, reflecting on another dramatic weekend across the TG4 All-Ireland Championships, with the Intermediate and Junior semi-final line-ups confirmed, while the Senior Championship quarter-finals now take centre stage.

Host Diarmuid Kearney is joined once again by Emma Kelly and Joanne Doonan as the trio break down the key talking points from the Intermediate quarter-finals, the relegation play-offs, and the final round of Junior group-stage action, before turning their attention to a huge weekend in the Senior Championship.

The panel begins with a deep dive into the Intermediate Championship quarter-finals, analysing the standout performances, major results, and defining storylines from the four ties, including Fermanagh's victory over Clare. Attention then turns to the relegation play-offs after another dramatic weekend, with the final relegation battle now set.

Focus then shifts to the Junior Championship, where Group A produced a thrilling conclusion. Offaly defeated Derry, but Antrim topped the group on score difference, leaving Offaly with a cruel end to their campaign as Antrim and Derry progressed to the semi-finals.

This week's special guest is Sarah Heron, who joins the show to discuss Derry reaching their first All-Ireland semi-final since 2018. She reflects on their league campaign, being written off heading into the championship, gaining revenge over Antrim after two Ulster defeats, and looking ahead to a semi-final showdown with Carlow.

In Group B, Sligo also booked their place in the semi-finals following a big win over Limerick, setting up a meeting with Antrim.

The conversation then turns to the Senior Championship quarter-finals and relegation games, with a massive weekend ahead as the race for the Brendan Martin Cup intensifies.

From tactical developments to defining moments and emerging narratives, the panel brings insight from both the dressing room and the press box as the championship season gathers momentum. Full fixtures, results, and tables are available throughout the campaign on FinalWhistle.ie.
