And then there were two

Shane Keegan joins Gavin Cooney to reflect on a massive weekend for both the League of Ireland title race and Manchester United.


Shane tells Gav why his visit to Tolka Park on Friday has led him to believe that Damien Duff's Shelbourne can hold on to their top spot and win the title (1:22) and the pair discuss Shamrock Rovers' courage to turn things around and take things to the final day, while also performing well in Europe (14:50).


Without a shadow of a doubt, the big story of the Bank Holiday weekend was the culmination of Erik ten Hag's tenure at the Theatre of Dreams. The lads discuss what is next for the Red Devils (24:55).


Conney and Keegan chat Irish injuries woes and a big goal for Evan Ferguson (35:14), before finishing with the potential game changer of Shamrock Rovers reclassing their academy as a childcare provider (50:23).
