How a dream about a Clare hurler turned into one of the more enjoyable GAA hashtags

#GAARomanceNovels

We’re not exactly avid readers of romance novels but of the 200-300 that we’ve collectively read cover-to cover, we’ve noticed a distinct lack of corner forwards.

Luckily, Sarah Ni Riain had been thinking something similar as she dreamt on Wednesday night that Clare hurler Darach Honan had penned a novel with an absolutely fantastic title.

The wonderfully honest admission didn’t garner that much traction until Rick O’Shea and Mike McLoughlin got involved then, BOOM, we had a trending hashtag which led to some kneeslappers of tweets throughout Thursday afternoon.

The entries varied from the smutty to the classy and just like all great romance novel titles, the steamier the better.

Here are some of our favourites.
