PlayXPlay is here! The new weekly sports show hosted by Jenny Murphy

Niamh Maher

We’re bringing you the best of what female sport has to offer… and we’re going big!

Every Monday, SportsJOE and Her will be bringing you our brand new sports show PlayXPlay hosted by Grand Slam winner Jenny Murphy.

In partnership with AIG and in support of 20×20, prepare for proper analysis, genuine debate and real reaction from the biggest stories and stars in sport.

When it comes to women in sport, a culture shift is underway here in Ireland. The 20×20 campaign has captured the minds and hearts of the nation and it’s well on its way to reaching the goal of having 20% more female participation, media coverage and attendance at women’s games by 2020.

Since launching last year, we’ve seen athletes from across the nation stand up, show their stripes and pledge to do more and now it’s our turn!

On the very first episode of PlayXPlay, Irish international Louise Quinn joins with a sore head fresh from celebrating Arsenal women’s Super League success on Sunday. The panel also dissects Sinead Diver’s outrageous performance at the London Marathon and delves into the murky world of gender testing.

Alongside Jenny Murphy, three-time All-Ireland champ Niamh McEvoy takes up residence to share her own experiences and insights and to keep her old GAA rival in check.
