Sun, ice cream and the pier: 17 of the best All-Ireland football launch pics

McCann, Connolly and Crowley enjoyed the sun on the pier in Dun Laoghaire last night.

WITH 12 TEAMS left in the race for Sam, the 2016 All-Ireland senior football championship launch has officially taken place.

Fresh from their recent provincial title titles, Tyrone’s Tiernan McCann, Dublin’s Diarmuid Connolly and Kerry’s Peter Crowley all hung out in the sun at the East Pier in Dun Laoghaire last night.

Today they landed at the launch event at the GAA National Training Centre in Abbotstown where they were joined by Connacht winner Shane Walsh from Galway.

Fantastic victory by Galway Ladies, not easy to get a result in Tallaght, they showed remarkable reliance and battled hard to defend their crown
Well done ladies enjoy the celebrations
