We love this idea.
Enjoy your mates' favourite GAA memories, share your own, everyone donates a few quid to charity and we all have a laugh.
Magic.
It is the brainwave of Eoghan Rua GAA Club in Derry, who are running the GAA Memories Challenge in aid of Aware Northern Ireland and Pieta House in the Republic.
The aim is to promote mental health wellbeing and the fight against depression.
The idea is you share a funny/touching/memorable from your life in the GAA as a player, supporter or hurler on the ditch, donate either €2 or £2 and then nominate four more friends to do likewise. All under the hashtag #GAAMemories.
It is for a very serious cause but has already provided some serious laughs, involving Colm O'Rourke, Jagerbombs, Bob Marley and a ship-wrecked people carrier.
