Scariff Bay are hopeful of doing live match commentaries on local soccer games, he confirmed. “Match reports of games will feature in new episodes and we hope to expand our coverage over the radio and podcasts and hope to get to the stage where we could do some live reporting and match commentaries in the future”.

On the first episode, the show spoke with two managers in the Maloney Garden Machinery Premier Division, Tulla Utd’s Mike Moloney and Fergus Donovan of Kilkishen Celtic.

Newly appointed Mountshannon Celtic manager Colm Kavanagh accompanied by William Glass who has returned to the club after a season away also joined the show.
