This week we are taking another step back and listening to an interview that Naoise Waldren did with Chad Ireland from Missoula Montana after the Grizzlies' first national champion chip win. We keep bouncing back to some of these interviews from the beginning of this hurling legacy here in Montana and i think it’s important to do. For me it really highlights the comradery of the team members. You can hear in these conversations the bonds that have developed. This is why sport is such a huge part of culture. This is why we rally.

Pleae enjoy the interview.

A really big thanks to Naoise for sitting down with Chad and discussing his experience here hurling in Montana as well as the importance this has played in exploring his culture and heritage.We'd also once again like to thank the Blaggrds for allowing us to use their music for the podcast.
