Why won’t Sunday come quick enough?
Ever since Dublin and Mayo faced off in two epic games last September we’ve been looking for them to do it all over again.
Jim Gavin’s men haven’t put a foot wrong in their defence of the Sam Maguire whereas Mayo have laboured their way to the semi-final in a way that only they could.
What a journey it has been following these teams over the past few years, in 2016 it seemed as if it reached its climax with the replay but here’s hoping that Sunday will provide another colossal encounter between the two sides.
Tickets have been like gold dust, near impossible to come by, although you can try win a pair here, so many of us will be watching it in our local GAA club or even in the comfort of our own homes. Disaster.
Well, not everyone, over in Carrick-on-Shannon the final will be shown on the big screen in Carrick Cineplex.
Anyone that couldn't get their hands on a ticket. Here's the next best thing… #Mayo v #Dublin at @carrickcineplex

The event is a fundraiser and tickets are priced at a very reasonable €8 for adults and €5 for children.
This isn’t the first time that GAA has been shown in cinemas with Odeon previously screening the All-Ireland finals across the country, and the Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather was shown in VUE cinemas in Liffey Valley back in August.
