Time to drop pitch presentation plans

ALL-IRELAND final day is always a special occasion, with many elements featured outside the games themselves.

The presentation of the Jubilee All-Ireland winners is always a bit special and nostalgic as players from 25 years ago bring memories flooding back. Sunday was particularly special as not alone were we celebrating 125 years since the GAA was founded, but the Jubilee team this year was the centenary All-Ireland winning team from 1984, Cork.

Not everything went as smoothly though on Sunday. The attempt to present the Liam MacCarthy cup on the pitch had to be aborted as the call came out over the loudspeaker to implement Plan B.
