Welcome to Friday's OTB Breakfast Bite - your FREE bitesize taster of this morning's full Off The Ball Breakfast.

On this morning's show, we previewed the evening's League of Ireland action in the company of Owen Heary and Barry Murphy.

The news of Peter O'Mahony, Cian Healy and Conor Murray's retirements was covered by the BBC's Chris Jones.

We looked ahead to Limerick and Clare's meeting in the Allianz Hurling League with Banner legend Jamesie O'Connor, who also reacted to the news of Shane O'Donnell's season-ending surgery.

But this morning's Bite sees Shane, Colm and Arthur reflect on Evan Ferguson's brief cameo for West Ham last night; and we discussed some great League of Ireland mavericks with Owen and Barry.
