This is the story of Limerick hurling. Of a people. Of their heartbreak and joy. This is the story of Nine Lives. Of nine men. Of their love for one jersey. Of almost a century of believing their time would come. This is the story of Mick Mackey's reign. Of Éamonn Cregan's passion. Of Joe McGrath's brilliance. Of Tommy Quaid's legacy. Of Ger Hegarty's courage. Of Tom Ryan's ambition. Of Shane Fitzgibbon's strength. Of Stephen Lucey's loyalty. Of Shane Dowling's thrilling presence. OTB's own Arthur James O'Dea chronicled the story of Limerick hurling in his brand new book, 'Limerick: A biography in nine lives'. Here he sits down with Ger Gilroy to talk through a lifetime obsession.

Fionn Fitzgerald will be well known to followers of GAA, having captained Kerry to a senior football All Ireland title in 2014. The Dr Crokes club man is a lecturer in MTU Kerry campus and is currently undertaking a PhD looking at the area of biobanding, relative age effect and maturation rates of players involved with GAA development academies. In this episode, Fionn shares his thoughts on the ‘growth spurt’ ages for boys and girls, and the impact that can have on their performance. He talks about the need for coaches to be aware of the difference between the early and later physical developers and the challenges posed by each. His research has potentially significant implications for coaches and parents of kids in that 12 -16 age bracket and shines a light on topic previously underappreciated in general by youth sport in Ireland.
