Happy couple set for GAA skirmish

TINA and Larry O’Connor seem to be the perfect match. But at 4.30pm tomorrow they are prepared to make an honourable exception and become sparring partners.

That’s the time of the kick-off in the Munster senior football final in Killarney and, as they are both GAA followers, they can’t wait for the match to start. However, it will be something of a trial separation for Tina, 33, and Larry, 35, as they will be watching from opposite ends of Fitzgerald stadium.

“I’m from Limerick and Larry is from Kerry,” says Tina, “so you can imagine the dilemma.”
