1. Is there GAA on while I'm away?
2.Where is the nearest Irish Pub?
3. Is the jersey packed?
There is also 1 thing we're very good at: locating said Irish Pub anywhere within a 3 mile radius.
So having arrived in the busy urban setting of Manchester the obvious way to spend the first day was in an Irish pub. Hurray for logic.
Though it was most definitely the correct call. The best 70 odd minutes of hurling I've seen in a long time unfolded in front of the 60'000 live spectators and however many else like ourselves tuning in from the 4 corners of the globe.
With the sides drawing level a massive 15 times, what must have been a record breaking point after just 12 seconds by the Dubs, a questionable red card and massively heightened blood pressure the Rebels successfully managed to secure their place in the final on September 8th and also began 'The Hunt'. Something tells me that 'Any sign of tickets?' will be the most uttered phrase in Munster over the coming weeks, and with any luck the answer might eventually be yes.
Wish me luck.
