However, famous faces in the stand didn't have to resort to such methods to stay dry

That game was only going in One Direction!

"Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain...."
Just leaving LIT Gaelic Grounds and it's only right to call upon a Niall Horan and One Direction lyric to encapsulate Limerick's defeat! #LLSport pic.twitter.com/u0dxJu56pq

Cork produced a statement of intent... in the world of managerial fashion

While Alan Cadogan summarised Cork's never-say-die attitude

Alan Cadogan takes a fall after going into the crowd as this keenly contested game continues with just a point in it.

Incredible restraint from Limerick fans not to follow the lead of Portsmouth supporters and kick pulp out of Alan Cadogan

A four-legged pitch-invader was the show-stopper at Kingspan Breffni

Although the highlight of Cavan's shock win was Oisin Kiernan's story of overcoming a cancer diagnosis

There was a cracker in Newry too

🏐 Wow! What a game! @Armagh_GAA and @OfficialDownGAA severed up an @UlsterGAA championship classic!

Relive the moment Armagh secured a memorable victory on @bbcradioulster

Hopefully @oisinlangan, @congill99 & @brendandevenney have recovered! 😅#bbcgaa #GAA #UlsterChampionship pic.twitter.com/n2537WZyNT

While Tipperary's sharp-shooters hit an all-time first for the Premier

For the first time in their history, @TipperaryGAA have hit 30 white flags in an AISHC match.

They're the 18th side to do so and it's the third time that Waterford have conceded that amount (Cork 1982 & Kilkenny 2008).#TIPPvWAT

Niall Horan wasn't the only famous GAA fan either, with one Aussie rugby international converted to Wexford hurling
