As anyone who has been involved in GAA will know, there is no rivalry more intense that the one between neighbouring counties.
That said, the GAA also fosters a very different response from fans – one of solidarity, camaraderie and sportmanship – and this latest story about two Mayo and Roscommon fans is a great example.
John Mannion took to Twitter to share the heartwarming tale of his father’s encounter with a Roscommon fan and his little act of kindness.
