It’s coming up to All-Ireland final weekend and that means friends, cousins and even Garda stations will be divided as the county colours are waved across Galway and Limerick.

Chief Supt Roche is described as a ‘proud Galwayman’ in a Limerick station and you’d have to feel for him with the dotey maroon and white flag above his head amid all the green.
