What an amazing game. Honestly don’t think words can describe how good it actually was. Not bad for 30+ amateurs. Most of these guys put professional athletes to shame.

People who go on around the rugby football and the ridiculous hype surrounding the impending world World Cup please take note – that was real sport today. Real passion. Just real. Not hype – substance.

Proud to be a GAA man after watching that.

The game of the gods.

I don’t understand the need to insult other sports. Just sat shouting at my TV for 70 minutes…as a neutral and I’ll shout at my TV for the final. I’ll shout at my TV for the RWC too.
