Radio Beams this week is about Sports with Rory Hickey, GAA, Ennis Track Club and Denis Hynes, FAI. Rory is a former GAA ref at national level and life time member of Eire Og Club in Ennis. He talks about the effect of Covid 19 on players and clubs. Plus all the competitions that would be played this year.
