Champions again.

Shamrock Rovers are the 2026 League of Ireland Premier Division champions, securing a sixth title in seven seasons and the 23rd league title in the club’s history.

Ryan Brennan and Adam Casey are back for Episode 61 of The Milltown Way to look back on the night the title was confirmed, as Rovers swept Sligo Rovers aside 4-0 at Tallaght Stadium. Adam Brennan struck twice before half-time, before Aaron Greene and Dylan Watts added further goals in the second half. With Shelbourne beating Bohemians 1-0, both results fell into place and the title was heading home.

We look at the performance, the atmosphere and the significance of another league title for the Hoops, including a memorable night for 19-year-old Adam Brennan as he scored twice on the night his first senior league medal was secured.

But this title didn't come without its doubts.

We revisit the difficult spell that threatened to derail Rovers' season: the European exits, the FAI Cup defeat to St Patrick's Athletic, the run of seven games without a win, and the 2-0 loss to Galway just one week before the title was secured. It was during that period that we openly questioned whether Stephen Bradley was the right man to lead the club.

One week later, Rovers were champions.

We reflect on that question, the pressure Bradley faced, and how the team responded when it mattered most.

Finally, we look ahead to the final-day trip to Dundalk on Friday, 30 October. With the title already secured, the focus turns towards the trophy presentation at Oriel Park, the possibility of changes to the starting XI and the chance for supporters to celebrate another championship.

Champions again. Six titles in seven seasons. Twenty-three league titles in total.

Episode 60 - Galway setback as the title race tightens

Shamrock Rovers suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat away to Galway United on Friday night, leaving the Hoops with plenty to think about as the title race reaches its decisive stages.

On Episode 60 of The Milltown Way, Ryan Brennan and Adam Casey look back on the defeat at Eamonn Deacy Park, assess where Rovers fell short and discuss what the result means with just two league games remaining. We also consider the concerns raised by supporters and what Rovers need to show in response.

The conversation then turns to the wider title race, with Monday night's meeting between Derry City and St Patrick's Athletic potentially having a significant impact on the final standings. We discuss the possible implications for Rovers, how the other contenders could influence the run-in and why the Hoops must focus on taking care of their own results.

Finally, we look ahead to Friday night's trip to face Sligo Rovers. Sligo may have already been relegated, but their 1-1 draw with Dundalk shows they won't necessarily be an easy opponent. We discuss the challenge Rovers could face, the importance of approaching the game with the right mentality and what a response to the Galway defeat needs to look like.

With the title still to be decided and every point carrying enormous importance, there's plenty to discuss.

On this episode, Ryan Brennan and Adam Casey look back on a massive night at Tallaght Stadium as Shamrock Rovers beat Bohemians 2-1 in a crucial Dublin derby.

John McGovern opened the scoring before Bohs equalised in the second half, but Dylan Watts delivered the decisive goal to secure all three points for Rovers. The victory puts the Hoops six points clear at the top of the Premier Division with five games remaining, giving them a significant advantage in the title race.

We break down the key moments, the performances that made the difference and what the result means as the season approaches its conclusion.

We then turn our attention to the full-time scenes at Tallaght Stadium. Celebrations in front of the supporters were followed by confrontations involving players and staff from both sides. We discuss what happened, the emotions surrounding such a significant derby and where the line should be drawn when the final whistle blows.

Finally, we look ahead to Friday night's trip to face Galway United. With the title race heating up and every point becoming increasingly important, we discuss the challenge Rovers will face away from home and what they need to do to maintain their advantage at the top.
