OUR SINCERE THANKS to all of our new members who signed up to The42 Membership in the last week. We truly appreciate your support.
Here’s a rundown of all of the great, exclusive content coming up for all of our members this week:
Kicking things off this morning is the third instalment of our Rugby Weekly Extra: Playback series. After revisiting Leinster’s 2006 epic against Toulouse and Munster’s Miracle Match against Gloucester, today it’s the turn of Connacht. Murray Kinsella and Gavan Casey set the time machine for 8 December 2013 at the Stade Ernest Wallon, and the day when the men from the west turned the rugby world on its head by handing European kings Toulouse their first home defeat in the competition in five years.
Tuesday means the latest episode of Ireland’s favourite sportswriting podcast as Miguel Delaney (The Independent) joins host Gavin Cooney on Behind The Lines to dig into the archive and discuss the pieces that stuck with him long after he finished reading.
On Wednesday — *drumroll please* – we’re delighted to debut another brand-new podcast exclusive to The42 Members. In How To Win At Dominoes, former Wexford Youths and Galway United manager Shane Keegan dials up some of Ireland’s most brilliant, innovative coaching minds to find out what it takes to be elite. First up: the man who introduced the “high performance” mindset to Irish sport and helped usher in a golden age for Irish amateur boxing, Gary Keegan.
We kicked off Warriors, our new GAA podcast, in style last week with an hour-long documentary on a team seared into the collective GAA consciousness, the hurlers of Wexford ’96. Episode two, which hits podcast players on Thursday, sticks with the theme of hurling’s Revolution Years as Denis Walsh — the man who literally wrote the book on the subject — joins Paul Dollery and Fintan O’Toole to discuss that unforgettable period.
And as if that lot wasn’t quite enough for one week, we’ll also have our regular Insiders dispatches and the launch of another project that we’re very excited about as multiple Booker Prize nominee Donal Ryan presents the first piece in Bylines, a series of exclusive essays from some of Ireland’s modern literary greats looking at the place sport holds in their lives.
