Does this week's guest need any introduction? Probably not, but we'll give one anyway.

Former Derry footballer Joe Brolly is our guest on The Square Ball this week and to say we touched on many different topics would be an understatement. In typical Brolly fashion the conversation flowed from one topic to the next and the result is an incredible hour or so of conversation with the Dungiven man.

Sit back, relax and enjoy a conversation with Joe Brolly.

When you think of Cork hurling, the name Patrick Horgan won't be far from the first thing entering your mind. We were honoured to be joined in studio by one of Cork's most famous sons to discuss his extraordinary career - which isn't done yet! - and his obsession with the game of hurling, his fascination with the NFL and a lot more. It's an excellent chat and one you won't want to miss!

This is the 12th episode of The Square Ball, powered by William Hill, and in important news we also have to announce that we have a temporary substitution on the team. With Lee taking a short paternity break, Monaghan legend Conor McManus has stepped back into studio to fill the void and back up Dave McIntyre in the second chair. He'll be sticking around for a couple of weeks as well so you can look forward to his dulcet Monaghan tones for a few episodes to come.

Donegal and Ghaoth Dobhair's Kevin Cassidy is our guest in studio this week on The Square Ball and this episode dives deep into his remarkable career and story.

We also talk about his gaelic footballing career with Donegal, including some ill-advised but hilarious nights out after games as well as the background to his well publicised departure from the Donegal panel in 2012.

It's All-Ireland Final week and we're set for an incredible showdown between Cork and Clare this weekend. Lee and Dave are joined in studio to discuss what could be a game for the ages by hurling gurus Shane Dowling and Alan Cadogan.

Does dethroning Limerick make Cork heavy favourites? How will Clare deal with space in front of their full-back line? What makes Shane O'Donnell such an elite forward? All of this and more were discussed in this excellent preview.

Nothing is off limits as Ashling speaks with searing honesty and openness about her relationship with her mother, who pushed her every step of the way in her sporting career, her mental health battles following her partner's suicide, the after effects of being a serious car crash, going off the rails as a youngster and how she managed to claw back her life and what fuels her driving passion to succeed on the pitch.
