'The War God Of Gardening!' could that be the title of a new Gardening show presented by the Munster and Ireland icon!

Weekend Breakfast with Alison Curtis sits down with rugby legend Peter O'Mahony to delve into his passion for gardening.

Nicknamed the 'War God' on the rugby pitch he has hung up his boots and shares how this gardening passion helped him throughout his career.

Peter shares the heartwarming origins of his gardening journey, recalling fond memories of helping his grandmothers in their gardens and learning the ropes from his uncle in West Cork.

As he transitions from the rugby pitch to a new chapter in life, Peter reflects on how gardening has become a form of mindfulness amidst the high-intensity demands of his sports career.

And of course the greatest and funniest sports moment of the year - the viral moment with his mother at his final Munster match in Cork!

And now a fascinating and unique book called ‘And After All: A Fan History Of Oasis’ has been written entirely from the fan’s perspective. And the author of that book is Melissa Locker. She chatted to Alison Curtis on Weekend Breakfast all about meeting those fans and their inspirational stories.
