These are absolutely bang on the money.
Up for the Match on the night before the football and hurling finals is very much a staple part of All-Ireland weekend and though you can usually set your watch by the formula, RTÉ mixed it up a little to great effect on the eve of the All-Ireland Hurling Final.
GAA impersonator par excellence Aidan Tierney was in the audience and provided just a taste of his vast GAA repertoire in a highly amusing three-minute segment that had the audience in stitches.
When prompted by hosts Gráinne Seoige and Des Cahill, Tierney, who we’ve featured on the site in the past, did spot-on impersonations of high-profile figures such Brian Cody, Tomás Mulcahy, Joe Brolly, Micheál Ó Muircheartaigh and our personal favourite, Donal Óg Cusack.
Given the reception he got, fingers crossed RTÉ get Aidan back on for the football final in two weeks’ time.
