Well huge news for KCLR broke last night as our dedicated Camogie podcast led by Martin Quilty, Lillian Holohan, and Aine Farrel picked up the Digital Media award from the camogie association.
It was not the only accolade though for Martin as we were also named the PRO of the year for the work he does with Kilkenny
Did this just really happen? Absolutely delighted and honoured to have been chosen as PRO of the year. Also delighted for the Podcast to have won only in our 2nd year. Thanks to @ainefahey my Co-host @lillianhol on production & to @kenmcguire & @kclr96fm for the opportunity 🥹🥹 pic.twitter.com/WTcHSBM3TY

It was a Chelsea debut to forget for Joao Felix last night.
This was obviously a red card offense.

João Félix is shown a red card on his Premier League debut. 🟥
He won’t play again until at least February 11th, which is one month away due to suspension. 😳 Someone that is on loan for 6 months, now one month is out. Potter Out. pic.twitter.com/v5VaLjclbr
The loan signing from Atletico Madrid was sent off for a high challenge on Kenny Tete, with Chelsea falling to a 2-1 defeat at Fulham.
The winning goal came 17 minutes from time from Carlos Vinicius.
The victory sees Fulham move above Liverpool to sixth in the Premier League table. Chelsea is languishing in tenth, with six defeats from their last eight games in all competitions.
Aston Villa could move level on points with Chelsea tonight. Unai Emery’s side welcomes Leeds United to Villa Park, where kick-off is at 8.
