This is how you sex up a standard league game…

The art of the headline has arguably never been more important. With attention spans now shorter than the lifespan of a tub of natural yoghurt in the Sahara, you have to do all you can to grab those eyeballs.

So, faced with a rather mundane 2-14 to 1-6 win by Donard-The Glen over An Tocher in the Senior Football League Division 1A, A Wicklow People sub decided to be inspired by everyone’s favourite WWE legend; Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Austin is best known for his wild ways in the ring and his love of the phrase ‘whooping your ass’ or variations there of.

So, a little harshly on An Tocher, this headline appeared above the Wicklow People’s match report on the game.
