I measc na míreanna a bheas le cloisteáil againn inniu ar an gclár inniu, beidh Áine Hensey faoi agallamh ag Paddy Ó Gríofa agus í ag caint ar na blianta fada atá caite aici ag tabhairt tacaíochta d’fhoireann sacair Phoblacht na hÉireann.  Tá Áine ag tacú leis an bhfoireann óna cuid laethanta ar an mheánscoil, agus tá sí féin agus a deartháir Brian ar an mbóthar leo ó 1991.  Níor chaill siad níos mó na cluiche nó dhó, sa bhaile nó as baile, le fiche bliain anuas.  Téann Áine siar ar bhóithrín na smaointe inniu le Paddy Ó Gríofa.  Beidh clúdach ar thorthaí agus scóranna ar chluichí an deireadh seachtaine ar an gclár inniu chomh maith

Today’s programme will include an interview with Ireland megafan Áine Hensey about her many years of devotion to the Republic of Ireland soccer team.  Áine has been supporting the team since her schooldays, and has been on the road with them, together with her brother Brian, since 1991.  They have never missed more than one or two matches, either at home or abroad, in twenty years.  She takes a trip down memory lane today with Paddy Ó Gríofa on her many, many days supporting the boys in green.  The programme will also include results and score updates for the weekend’s matches.
