We’re kicking off today’s Off the Ball with a Saturday Panel brimming with analytic boffins ready to reveal the secrets behind science unlocking sporting success.

Joining Ger Gilroy in the studio today to break down how science can make sport richer will be Emmett Farrell, performance analyst with Leinster rugby, Ray Boyne, GAA analyst currently working with the Dublin minors and ladies and Andy McGeady, journalist and all round stats and figures expert.

Nicky English will be in studio ahead of tomorrow’s Allianz Hurling League final between Kilkenny and Tipperary.
We have Ray Houghton and Kenny Cunningham analysing the day’s football from 5 and we go to Goodison Park to speak with Graeme Sharp ahead of the massive tie between Everton and Manchester City.

Join us between 2-6 today and if you miss anything you can listen back on Newstalk.ie, or download the highlights on iTunes.
