PIC: These Dublin and Mayo auld fellas are the best of enemies, even after yesterday’s game at Croker

This is what's great about the GAA...

Brilliant before and after pics…

Yesterday, a pair of die-hard GAA auld fellas were snapped together in Croke Park, one sporting a Mayo jersey and the other, the blue of Dublin.

We even featured them as the lead image on one of our articles…

While the duo were snapped sitting jovially together before the game, they decided to show barman Mark Curtis at the Balscadden Inn that they won’t be quite as nice to each other all of the time, especially as the match is going to a replay next week.

Obviously it’s all taken in good sport, but it’s great to see a bit of friendly rivalry in action and we’re sure that Dave and Pat won’t let a little thing like GAA get in the way of their friendship.

Sure…

Thanks to Donnacha McCormack for the info on this great story.
