Here's the GAA-themed selfie campaign hoping to raise funds for the Alan Kerins Projects

Armagh great Steven McDonnell has come up with a brilliant fundraising idea.

THE ALAN KERINS Projects continues to do amazing charity work for children in Africa.

The former Galway dual player recruited Armagh football great Steven McDonnell to journey to Zambia with him last May in his latest venture to promote the good work they are doing.

And now McDonnell has launched a GAA-themed selfie campaign to raise more funds for the Alan Kerins Projects.

People are being encouraged to take a selfie of themselves wearing a county or club jersey, and then donate to the charity by texting ‘SELFIE’ to 50300. Each person then nominates five friends to don club or county colours.

    Spot on Farrell. This isn’t mind games, Wales are a great side and the game could really go either way this Sunday. Tightest game of the round by a long stretch.

    @Chris Mc: completely untrue.. they managed two wins and a draw over two championships finishing 5th both in 2006 and 2007 six nations and were eliminated from the group stages in the 2007 WC. This welsh team is made up predominantly of players who have been to a world Cup semi final, some having been to two, and as recently as 2019 won the GS. Even Ger Gilroys lobsidded moustache knows this

    @PScald: ger Gilroy from off the ball is always stoking the fire, looking for a reaction. Wales may of been playing very poorly but cannot be written off. Wreckon it will be a tight game. COYBIG!!!

    @Chris Mc: Is there really such a thing as ‘worst’ in test rugby? I don’t think so anyway. I would really really hate it now if the Welsh were to beat us, and that isn’t sarcasm, it would just be painful for all those dismissing Wales on here in recent posts and their ability, in a 2-horse race over 80mins. Anything can happen. Again…tight game and hoping Ireland will get the win by 3-7pts.

    @PScald: since gatland finished they have been poor. They do have some good players but like their club sides lack any direction and show very little substance. It the Ireland 23 want to win and dont shoot themselves in the foot we will win handy enough.

    @PScald: form changes quick, and they’ve had a very poor season, in a similar way to us in 2019, but worse

    Ireland are at their absolute worst when we’re heavy favourites, and Wales have something to prove. We’ve also won four in a row against them, so there’s no way they’re not going to show up, especially at home.

    Whatever we think of Ger Gilroy, it is ridiculous to see so much energy wasted getting all pissed off about it. Radio show host makes comment most people disagree with. People getting irate over nothing. He made the headlines. Job done.

    There is no doubt that wales are in a bad run of form and the coach is under serious pressure to keep his job for the future.
    This is why he has gone back to his experienced players but I believe that those players are just past their sell by date.
    They are still very good players but I think there best days are past them and their age has to be catching up with them

    I’d like to see an improvement with the line out , maul and defence. Even if we don’t win the game tomorrow you could take comfort if you saw these areas improve.
    I’m still sticking with my original comment , Ireland to win by a one score game .
