Billy Joe Padden's interviewing skills have been a major feature here on the Mayo News football podcast in recent months and in this episode he's back with another special guest.

This time, Billy Joe sits down for an in-depth discussion with Mayo GAA and Connacht Rugby star Gavin Duffy. The Ballina native enjoyed a varied sporting career, mainly in rugby where he was capped ten times for Ireland and played for both Connacht and English side Harlequins but also in gaelic football. In fact, Gavin's involvement with Mayo bookended his playing career, as he was a midfielder on the Mayo minor team that reached the All-Ireland final in 1999 and then, in 2014, he earned a surprising call-up from James Horan to the Senior county panel.

This latest episode of the Mayo News football podcast is now online and is available to listen to on iTunes, SoundCloud, Spotify and Podomatic. You can also listen to it directly on the Mayo GAA Blog too.
