Talking Sport: Laois hurlers Matthew Whelan and Eric Killeen on Coronavirus life, FIFA 20 All-Ireland glory and 7-aside teams

Our latest Talking Sport Podcast is here and we are continuing with our new format – and have some new guests.

Alan Hartnett is in the presenter’s chair again and he is joined on the line by two Laois hurlers – Borris-Kilcotton’s Matthew Whelan and Rathdowney-Errill’s Eric Killeen.

The trio chat about life in the new Coronavirus world, haircuts/hairstyles and how they see a return to hurling – or don’t!

And then Alan set them our new challenge – the same one footballers Mark Timmons and Sean O’Flynn had to tackle last week. 

Both Matthew and Eric are asked the pick their best 7-aside teams – but the teams have to be made up of players that the other person has played with.

It leaves Eric having to choose between legends like James Young, Willie Hyland and Zane Keenan while Matthew is forced to pick between a number of his current teammates.

It’s all a bit of fun and some of the choices are not who you may have thought before.
