Soccer Podcast thumbnail with presenter Raf Diallo

In a busy week in Irish football, this week's RTÉ Soccer Podcast is split into two standalone episodes.

A midfield trio of Richie Towell, Alan Cawley and Paul Corry join Raf Diallo to chat about all of last Friday's Premier Division results including the Dublin derby, as well as Bohemians playmaker Dawson Devoy's case for Republic of Ireland consideration and Heimir Hallgrimsson's midfield conundrum with Prague looming.

Due to technical difficulties this episode is audio-only.

Listen to the RTÉ Soccer podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
