98FM's weekly sports show "Now That's What I Call Sport" airs every Sunday morning from 9-10am.

Presented by myself Philip Egan, this week's show broadcast on Sunday April 13th features the following guests :

1. Eamon Fennell

I'll talk to the St. Vincent's midfielder Eamon Fennell to look back at their All Ireland club success.

Eamon didn't play club football for a couple of years because he wasn't allowed transfer from O'Toole's to Vincent's.

Eventually he got the green light to make the move to the Marino club but he almost didn't make the All Ireland final due to injury.

He'll tell us how he managed to take the field on Croke Park on St. Patrick's Day and we'll talk about his team-mate Diarmuid Connolly who's the best player in the country at the moment.

We'll also look ahead to Sunday's Allianz League semi final between Dublin and Cork

2. Francis Howley

Former European Tour professional Francis Howley is now the Director of Golf at Carton House so he joins me to talk about the Masters.

Masters Sunday is always full of drama and this year should be no different.

An Irishman has never got to wear the famous green jacket so hopefully we'll be talking about an Irish challenge on the final day.

3. Fergus Ryan

Host of the Setanta MMA Show Fergus Ryan is in studio to talk UFC which is back in Dublin in July - first time since 2009.

Conor McGregor is the biggest Irish name in the UFC at the moment but Cathal Pendred and Chris Fields could be the next to follow.

Both fighters will be in the TV show The Ultimate Fighter which airs next week.

We don't know the details of who won but there's a good chance they'll also be on the card at the O2 in July.

4. Pierce Sweeney

Young Reading defender Pierce Sweeney talks to Jamie Moore about life in England.

He's the third player to talk to 98FM for Young Irish Abroad.

Sweeney was voted the Ireland under 19 International player of the year earlier this year.

He's another product of Belvedere Schoolboy club and he played with Bray Wanderers before his move across the water to Championship club Reading.

5. Gary Twohig

Gary is the MD of Samsung Ireland so he joins us to talk about the Night Run which I'm running in myself as is Dermot Whelan.

And yes I will be going out to make sure I beat Dermot over 10k.

It's the third year the event will be held in Dublin and there's also a run in Cork this year.

They'll start at the same time and they'll take the average time from each race to see who comes out on top between the Dubs and that other shower.

We'll also have our usual charity bet with Boyle Sports

Competition - 2 pairs of tickets for the Dubs game with Cork.

Thanks,

Phil.
