After a huge away win at St Pats, we go through the nerves, the atmosphere and the awful start the team survived, then the halftime tactical change that turned the game. Are the players finally playing for John Russell? We also cover the big-game mentality, the crowd flashpoints and the rivalry debate, including whether things went over the line at Richmond Park. Then there's Ali Coote's reckless red card, a close look at the defence options. On the women's side, we look at the draw with Athlone, Becky Watkins' big equaliser and the standout performers, and then preview whether Shels can finish the job against Galway. **Please take a moment to rate and share the show** Get In Touch.

For the men, another 1-1 draw in Galway. The penalty debate, why Shels keep failing to kick on after scoring, the lack of attacking edge, goalkeeping positives, Sean Boyd's situation, and the case for a squad refresh. **Please take a moment to rate and share the show** Get In Touch.
