    Ahead of a big weekend for Kildare GAA two current stars join the usual gang on the Kildare Square Ball Podcast. 

    Goalkeeper Mark Donnellan recently passed 100 league and championship games in a Kildare shirt and he talks about his time with the county team and his hopes for the future, including Sunday's game against Limerick.

    Johnny Byrne will have to sit out Sunday's crucial Allianz Hurling League tie against Offaly because of injury but he's enjoying the buzz created by the recent winning run and hoping to be back fit soon. 

    As it is Cheltenham week, Kildare Nationalist analyst Niall 'Slippers' Madden looks at the best of the action so far and what we might expect from the final two days.

    It was another disappointing defeat for the Kildare Senior Footballers last Sunday when they come home empty handed after the trip to Ardee to take on Louth. Host Pat Costello, Richard Commins and Ger McNally join former Kildare defender Andriú MacLochlainn to pick the bones out of the defeat and see where it leaves Kildare for the future.

    This week's podcast ends on a more positive note as the lads look ahead to a huge Allianz Hurling League game for Kildare on Saturday when Kerry are the visitors to Newbridge.

    Another demoralising defeat at St Conleths Park for the Kildare senior footballer last week means that host Pat Costello and contributors Richard Commins and Ger McNally have the difficult job of trying to find out just what went wrong. Former Kildare defender Andriú MacLochlainn also joins the pocast to give his views. 

    Anyway from the footballers, there are some plenty of positives to discuss and reporter Seamus Dillon joins the lads to discuss the latest win for David Herity's senior hurlers, while Kildare ladies football team captain Grace Clifford is also on this week's podcast to talk about last weekend's win over Offaly. 

    There's also talk of the Under 20 footballers and the upcoming announcement on the redevelopment of St Conleths Park!

    It's a busy weekend ahead for Kildare GAA teams and once again, the Kildare Square Ball Sports Podcast previews the best of what is to come. 

    The Kildare footballers look to bounce back after last week's opening round defeat to Dublin when Cork come to Newbridge. Who better to preview a Kildare v Cork clash than the man who pulled on both county's jerseys with great distinction, the legend Larry Tompkins looks ahead to the game with Pat Costello, Ger McNally, Richard Commins and Andriú MacLochlainn. 

    The ladies football team are two wins from two so far and looking to make it three from three when they head west to play Clare on Sunday. Former legendary player Noelle Earley is now part of Diane O'Hora's management team and she joins the podcast to look ahead to the game. 

    The Kildare senior hurlers have made a fine start to the year so far by winning all four games on their way to winning the Kehoe Cup and Paddy McKenna joined the podcast to say that the team are very keen to carry that form in their opening game in the league away to Carlow on Saturday.

    The Kildare Square Ball Podcast is back for 2023!

    Recently retired Kildare footballer Fergal Conway joins the usual crew of Pat Costello, Richard Commins, Ger McNally and another former Kildare star in Andriú MacLochlainn to forward to Kildare's prospects for 2023 as they prepare to start their league campaign this weekend with the daunting prospect of travelling to Croke Park to take on Dublin.

    The Kildare hurlers are showing plenty of promise in the early stages of the new year and newly appointed captain James Burke joins the show to discuss how David Herity's team are shaping up. 

    The Kildare ladies footballers have already won their first league game of the season, a game notable for the goalscoring return of Róisín Byrne after a long injury lay off and the Sarsfields sharpshooter is also on the show to discuss her rehab, return to play, and the prospects for the Kildare team this year under new manager Diane O'Hora.
