ON THIS week's podcast, we chat to former Monaghan footballer Stephen Gollogly as we look ahead to Cork’s clash away to the Ulster side, which is in Grattan Park, Inniskeen at 1.30pm on Sunday.
Gollogly won two Ulster titles in his time playing for Monaghan (2013 and 2015) and now owns a company called Gaelic Tactics Board.
John Cleary’s Cork are off the back of a win at home to Westmeath (3-18 to 3-17) and will hope to make it three wins from four as they aim to strengthen their promotion charge.
Monaghan come into this game on four points (the same as Cork) after losing to Roscommon last weekend (0-25 to 2-14).
Also on the show, we look ahead to the other three Cork sides in action this weekend.
