Total Football: Katie McCabe tells us about leading Ireland and what's on her bucket list
It's always risky saying that you saved the best for last, but when Katie McCabe hits your screens for the final Total Football of the season - it's true! Aisling O'Reilly went to London to meet the Ireland and Arsenal superstar. Tune in to Total Football, hosted by Aisling O'Reilly and Rasdi Nsimba, Saturday at 10am on RTÉ2 & RTÉ Player! Katie looks back on her life in football, from Kilnamanagh AFC to scoring in the Women's World Cup, not to mention a glittering club career with Arsenal. She tells us about becoming Ireland WNT captain at only 21 years of age. Apart from the serious football chat, Aisling has some craic too. There's some quick fire questions - press play up top to see what's on Katie's bucket list! As always, we pack a lot into the show, so here's what else is coming up. We hit the water on Lough Ree as social media stars Ciaran Duffy and Theo Hajji take on Nasti 2k (real name Jonathan Finlay) and Jonathan Morley in a skills test with a difference. After all the action Nasti has built up an appetite, so he makes a trademark spice bag in studio! The lads from Cork's Everton AFC are there for a taste of the action too. FAI coaches Heather Jameson and Cameron Molloy Moules have been with us all season and they join us to chat skills and staying with the game. They want you to keep trying your Total Skills coaches and to keep having fun. The story goes that Cork club Everton AFC were named as the club was founded when the English club were over in Ireland playing a friendly. But, we know for a fact that the Rebel lads have some skills they want to show us. And, they were up for some fun in studio too. Press the image above to see the club. Thanks to our friends in the FAI for all their help in making the show and to all the clubs around the country who did the home and away fixtures with Total Football. Don't forget to enter the Total Football competition where you could win a signed Ireland WNT or MNT jersey and 4 VIP tickets to the Aviva Stadium to watch the boys in green - click here for details.

Total Football: Aisling O'Reilly meets Celtic stars Liam Scales and Adam Idah, Arklow Town, kicking kings and much more
Aisling O'Reilly is a massive Celtic fan, and that's why she was buzzing to make the trip to the Glasgow club's Lennoxtown Training Complex for Total Football to meet two bhoys in green - Liam Scales and Adam Idah. This Saturday, at 10am on RTÉ2, you can watch the full interview as Aisling hits the lads with some quickfire questions, and we get to know more about Glasgow Celtic and Ireland pair. She finds out who is most likely to be late (there are fines!) and who is most likely to scream during a horror movie... Also on the show, we go back to Arklow Town FC, Liam Scales' first club, to put their skills to the test. They join us in studio with alongside more great guests like Celtic superfan Paudie O'Callaghan. We go from one superfan to another - let's follow Shels fanatic Kayleigh to a League of Ireland match. There's a kicking challenge with a difference thanks to Tadhg and Darragh Leader. The brothers are making NFL dreams come true! No matter the sport, practice makes perfect, that's why Heather and Cameron are back with Total Skills. And speaking of skills, a record-breaking freetstyler is in to show off - Charlie Shakesperae was born to perform! And, we are out on the grass with Vanessa and Nadine who try out some crazy football games - from foot gold to football darts and bubble ball. Tune in to see who will win!! Tune in to Total Football, hosted by Aisling O'Reilly and Rasdi Nsimba, Saturdays at 10am on RTÉ2 and stream any time on RTÉ Player. Liam Scales made the jump from UCD, to Shamrock Rovers and on to Celtic, but we go back to the start with our Club of the Week - Arklow Town FC. Press play up top to see how we got on at their home pitch! They come in to studio for some craic and a special kicking competition. Maybe one of them will catch the eye of the Leader brothers, Tadhg and Darragh, who are always scouting for talent for the NFL. Aisling LOVED her trip to Glasgow and we meet another Hoops fanatic - Paudie O'Callaghan. The Limerick lad travels to see the team all the time! There's more Total Skills with FAI Coaches Heather and Cameron. This time out they show us how to turn and get away from someone with the ball - that's always handy! Watch the show and get out to play as much as you can!!
