All eyes will be on Croke Park today as Dublin face Cork in what promises to be a great match, and there will be interest as far afield as Tanzania

The big match at Croke Park today promises to be a cracker, and is a fascinating encounter for a many reasons, which we’ve had a bit of a look at already this week.

Of course, something that’s guaranteed with both the lads from Cork and those from Dublin is a huge amount of support from all over the world. In particular, one group of lads will be yelling on the Rebels from Africa, and showed their dedication to the team with this fantastic snap from the top of Kilimanjaro.

Apparently they were absolutely freezing, suffering from altitude sickness, and in general pretty knackered from the climb, but there was no stopping Padraig O’Callaghan and James O’Keeffe showing off their country colours at the highest point in Africa yesterday, before today’s big game.
