The Club Pod: The 'Paudenka' stuns in Kerry | Electric Picnic team bonding

·21 min·1 clip

Paudie Clifford chipped the ball from six yards in the 62nd minute, a point down, rather than take the point.

1. Indo GAA's The Club Pod covers a club weekend headlined by the 'Paudenka' goal in Kerry and Electric Picnic team bonding, across Waterford, Limerick, Meath, Offaly and Roscommon. 2. Michael Verney hosts with Niall McIntyre, a club player who volunteered at Electric Picnic with 10 clubmates and brings club-level insight to the discussion. 3. The central thread is the 'Paudenka', Paudie Clifford's chipped goal from six yards in the 62nd minute, a point down against Beaufort, which the hosts play via John O'Dowd's commentary. 4. McIntyre argues Clifford meant the chip because of how he 'dinked' it, noting Clifford did not fancy extra time on Beaufort's home pitch, and that David Clifford's pickup and chip-lift made the moment possible. 5. On Electric Picnic, McIntyre says his club parked cars on Thursday and Friday for free wristbands, and tells of Andy Leach, whose band Le Boom played a 1:30am Sunday set before he played full back for Navan O'Mahonys' junior team at 11am. 6. In Waterford hurling, Austin Gleeson played about 50 minutes at full back after Luke O'Brien's red card, then moved to wing forward, caught a puck-out and scored with his opposite hand, after which the hosts praise how 'raw' and emotional his post-match interview was. 7. Ballygunner beat De La Salle by six after being five down with 16 minutes left, with Patrick Fitzgerald sent off before half-time, extending a run of 65 wins since 2015, and Premier Intermediate winners Ballygunner now face a Ballysaggart motion forcing them to play senior in 2026. 8. The hosts note the Ballygunner club depth: 11 of the last 12 minor titles, an under-15 Division One national title, and a third team that lost the junior final to Kilrossanthy's first team by three points, raising the question of friction between two teams in one club. 9. Elsewhere, Meath Hill won their first senior game on a two-pointer but were pushed into a relegation playoff on score difference, Patrickswell look set for Group 2 in Limerick, and Paul Geaney came on after 18 minutes with Dingle trailing 1-10 to no score and swung the game. 10. Suited to club GAA players and followers of hurling and football championships.
