Looking forward to the hurlers getting back in the saddle also on Sunday.

Although I'm more interested in football I wish our improving hurling team well, and I don't see the harm in playing a double header. It will be an even rarer experience for the hurlers but one they will benefit from. I find it hard to imagine there will be a big crowd coming down from Derry so I don't see the fixture putting much extra pressure on organisers, who already had a taste of a Dublin game last year.

Replying To Albundy19:  "Absolutely ridiculous having a double header in Aughrim on Sunday and typical of the county board being afraid to make tough decisions, hurling should have been moved to Arklow."
Arklow is where all the beautiful people come from.

I am not saying we are going to win on Sunday but........

This Ger Brennan saga will not do the Dubs any favours ?????

Ha , right spot for Christy ring , leave the footballers playing against one of the giants of GAA in headquarters and maybe add a bit of razzmatazz with music before or at halftime. Anyway it's done now good luck to both teams up Wicklow.

Looking forward to the double header on Sunday, a full house will be great for the promotion of games in the county. Lets hope for two good games and best of luck to both teams!

Is there finally a bit of foresight in letting more people see the hurlers too, or the last 10 minutes of it anyway, though pity it's not a winnable match. Normally the CB wouldn't let the hurlers into Aughrim if the footballers were out the next day.
