Pic: Rival players from two Junior B teams gather together for a selfie… during a game

As you do

Another one to add to the ‘Only in Junior B GAA’ file.

Anyone that’s ever played Junior B GAA at any code will know that anything can and often will happen during matches, whether it’s an umpire eating a Supermac’s or a lad togging out in a pair of jeans because he forgot his gear or simply doesn’t want to wear shorts.

We don’t know if we had ever seen a selfie being taken during a GAA match before, however, much less a selfie featuring six players from the two teams in action, all of whom seemed completely oblivious to what was going on out on the pitch.

The photo above was sent our way by Kevin Sheridan and we’re told it was from a game between Wexford’s Oulart the Ballagh and Naomh Moninne from Louth in a Junior Tournament held by Thurles Gaels on Saturday night.

It’s all fun and games surely, but we’re not too sure the ‘I was taking a selfie’ excuse would cut it when trying to explain the concession of a soft goal at half-time all the same.
