GAA
This Sunday KCLR head to Croke Park once again, this time for the Leinster Final between Kilkenny and Galway.
Of course, it pits former teammates Derek Lyng and Henry Shefflin against each other, with both managers trying to win their first piece of silverware with each county
Speaking to KCLR about the encounter, former Kilkenny star Michael Fennelly says both managers need to win the Bob O’Keeffe Cup
That game will be brought to you with thanks to Laharts with analysis thanks to Gerry Comerford Drilling
We have two other live games coming your way this weekend, well one for definite anyway.
While Kilkenny goes head to head with Wexford Saturday at 6 pm, there is concern about Carlows Tailteann Cup fixture against New York this Saturday
Hundreds of wildfires burning across the western provinces of Quebec have caused numerous flights to be delayed and halted in the Big Apple
So we will keep you updated on that one throughout the next couple of days.
Check out this almost unbelievable time-lapse of wildfire smoke consuming the World Trade Center and the New York City skyline.
