About this episode

Welcome to Tuesday's OTB Breakfast Bite - your FREE bitesize sample of this morning's full Off The Ball Breakfast.

On this morning's show, Kilkenny legend Tommy Walsh looked back over the weekend's Allianz Hurling League action.

Former Ireland hooker James Tracy analysed Ireland's scrum performance in Cardiff.

OTB's own Kathleen McNamee helped preview this evening's Women's Nations League game away to Slovenia for the Republic of Ireland.

Plus, Saipan, Leeds and the never-ending downfall of Manchester United were all covered by Ger, Colm and Arthur.

But this morning's Bite first checks in with Tommy Walsh, and his new-found love of padel. Then it's the turn of James Tracy.
