The 2018 All-Ireland hurling is upon us, fans are flocking to Croke Park in their thousands to see if Galway can lift two in a row, or whether Limerick will win their first in 45 years.
Alas, for all of those who scrambled successfully for a ticket, many will have been left disappointed and have to settle for a cup of tea on the couch today.
For those at home watching they will have been treated to a rare sight, one that has never been seen before on our screens.

The Limerick players where shown twice on our screen gearing themselves up for the biggest games of their lives today inside their dressing room.
So far only Limerick where shown warming up during RTE’s coverage. This suggests that Galway may have not given permission for them to film inside their dressing room.

Here are the Treaty men doing some press-ups minutes before going out onto the Croke Park pitch.
A very rare sight to see before the game, but a welcome one for fans at home.
