All-Ireland game-day twists and turns

As rain and hail drenched the first half, it wasn’t an afternoon for ‘playing through the lines’

A stark vignette around half 11, just short of Naas on the N7. A bus full of Kilkenny supporters had pulled in for ‘relief’ on the left. The bus carrying the Kilkenny team was tracking a Garda escort past backed-up traffic up the right lane.

Naturally, the one bad egg in any group was busy photographing his pals going about their business. And as the team edged past they were treated to a selection of bare arses poking out from beneath the black and amber.
