Oh, thanks for reminding me that Dublin are the reigning champions.
On Sunday, a score will be settled and a trophy will be won*. A rambling victory speech will ensue.
Dublin and Mayo face off for the fourth time in recent years with the record standing at two for the Dubs, one for the men out West and one draw.
Mayo are 3/1 underdogs to claim their first All-Ireland Final win in 65 years. History may be against them but a battling journey through the qualifiers has steeled Stephen Rochford’s troops and convinced our GAA experts Conan Doherty and Colm Parkinson.
This is a week where everyone is looking for an omen so we are not sure what Mayo fans would make of these Croke Park premium level tickets.
Just a reminder here – there are TWO teams involved in Sunday’s final. Not a whiff of a Mayo player here.
Still, the tickets will be kept and framed – Jack McCaffrey or not – if Mayo manage to end a 65-year curse at Croker.
*The Game may end in a draw and set up a replay
