Sounds of the Summer: Burnout, balance and going again in 2027 | Niall Morgan
About this episode
Welcome to our Sounds of the Summer podcast, a look back, and look forward, to some of the biggest GAA stories which dominated 2026.
Tyrone goalkeeper Niall Morgan joins Colm Boohig and Ger Gilroy on Off The Ball Breakfast, just days after that All-Ireland quarter-final exit to Kerry, to look back on a summer of fine margins and big moments.
Morgan reflects on a slow start to the season, the danger of “moral victories”, and why this Kerry defeat might sting even more than last year.
He also chats about the respect between players, a brilliant GAA-style story involving the goalkeepers’ families, and the league “wedding/holiday saga” that saw him dropped and forced to reset.
Plus, will he be back next year?
