It’s definitely the best GAA-related tweet since the ‘good’ jumper was left behind at a match in Roscommon earlier on this year.
Thousands of Wicklow GAA fans descended upon Aughrim for the county final between Rathnew and Baltinglass yesterday and the more traditional amongst them would have packed the necessary items one needs when going to such an occasion; warm coat, flask of tea, lunchbox full of hang sandwiches and, eh, a spare microphone.
The last item on that list might seem a bit strange, but the official Wicklow GAA account said they’d chance their arm and sent out a tweet yesterday inquiring whether anyone present at the game had one and if they had, could they kindly pass it onto Pat.
If anyone happened to bring a spare microphone to Aughrim, can you drop it over to Pat.

If that wasn’t good enough, we particularly liked this reply…
@wicklowgaa just the thing I have in my handbag along with the kitchen sink

In fairness to whoever was operating the account, they did a great job of keeping tabs on events in Aughrim yesterday and judging by a few more tweets sent from the account, their tongue was firmly in cheek and they were well up for a laugh as well.
If anyone happened to bring industrial strength floodlights to Aughrim can you drop them to Pat #gettingdark

When four or five people use their phone at once in Aughrim, reception slows down. So bear with us if there is a delay #gaa

Only in the GAA, eh?
