And that's what Joanne's team expected too.

That was our initial hypothesis so when we initially had the study set up we thought that people who played a musical instrument would see greater benefit and the reason for that is that we know that keeping the mind active and learning things in later life and really challenging your mind or even throughout your life actually not just in later life but that can be beneficial to help build Build the networks in your brain, which in turn can help reduce your risk of dementia or delay the time at which you're diagnosed with dementia.

So we were anticipating that playing a musical instrument would be more beneficial, but actually we found that it was just as beneficial.

So it was just as beneficial as people who were listening to music, as people who were playing music.

It's why people learn better often by creating a song out of the learning material.

Yeah, I mean, that's 100% correct.

So there's really music is really powerful in terms of learning.

It helps for a whole range of regions, though, beyond that.

and just Sarah and Joanna then neutral I suppose for this game just get your opinion if McKinney are to get the victory how do you think how do you go about getting the win like what do they need to do to get that win

God, I just think that they continue what they're doing all year.

Like Kilkenny, they're knocking on the door there now for the last three years, you know.

And as Martín, I was a youth hero, was saying, like they have some of that team that have all Ireland medals in their pockets, do you know what I mean? And they want to drive on the other players.

So just, it'll be a close match, I think, anyway.

And as the girls are saying now, Kilkenny they've nothing to lose they'll throw the kitchen sink at Galway and away they go and they'll bring a good crowd with them too to Simple Stadium and I said it before Kilkenny love playing in Simple Stadium you know they're that type of a team they rise to big occasions you know and they're full of energy you know so but Galway too it just it's I'm looking forward to the match I'll put it that way and I don't think it's going to be a close match because Kilkenny are they're they're chowing at the bit as they say for the last you know two to three years there they bet remember the match in Crowe Park last year they bet Tip oh no Tip bet them by a pint there you know they were we were lucky to get over them like you know that was a big game in Crowe Park you know that'll stand to them for experience as well going forward there on Saturday, my thinking.

Joanne, would you be comfortable with that kind of Cuiva sitting back and sitting in that cover role? Do you think it takes from your forwards?

Well, look, it depends on what way the other teams plan out their game.

little factor in that

now, to be fair.

But, like, there's all kind of a new management in this year now.

They'll just count that as getting into the semi-final.

They won't even look back or dwell on the last few years.

And, you know, they're after getting a good win against Clare to reach the semi.

And, you know, when you're preparing for a semi, you don't talk about the past.

But look, this committed championship, maybe Nick's bag would certainly be able to come into the championship and look, they have really been at their back to their best like you know those Amy O'Connor being back in there and look Ashley Thompson returned the last day so look they're still very very good team like and do you still expect that Cork and Galway all-in the final or do you think Tipperary or Tickley maybe one of them or maybe Walden maybe could cause an upset there and get you to an all-in the final but what were we thinking there at this stage three weeks out
