Mayo fan 'will sell sheep for All-Ireland final ticket'

Can anyone help a guy out?

I DON’T KNOW how much a sheep costs, but we know an All-Ireland final ticket carries a lot of currency in Mayo at the moment.

The Connacht champions face Dublin in a much-hyped championship decider on Sunday week at Croke Park.

This imaginative sheep farmer has offered one (?) of his animals in exchange for a ticket to the game.

    Well done to Stephen for sharing his story, the mind is a powerful thing and the effects our thoughts can have on our body. I’m sure anorexia is more prevalent than we think with males and does not only affect females. Glad he has come out the other side and his life is going well now.

    Well done Stephen… You battled through and you’ll have a lifelong benefit from the struggle you’ve endured. Best of luck with the rest of your life and of course Round Towers (Lusk) too.

    5 and a half stone is 35kg. Let’s say your an 18 year old and ur 83kg and u lose that much then you’re 48kg. Thats really unhealthy and if u don’t eat enough food then youll have no energy for exercise. Sounds awful

    @Eoin Murphy:
    Definitely a tough station.

    His starting weight was 114kg & he lost 35kg to bring him down to 79kg which is very light for a man of his frame.

    Some mental battle to win.
