As an aside:

People might find it hard to believe the demand for tickets for a match like this - but take it from me that its phenomenal. Anyway: I was at a singing session in Galway last Saturday (day before the match). A guy sang a song about how he had (from Dublin) organised to get a ticket from a friend of his in Co. Clare to another friend in Armagh, the previous day. It took seven changes of carrier (farmers, travelling salesman, bus drivers...) to get it there safely and in time! Once he heard it had arrived, he wrote the song and faxed it to the recipient. The latter was none other than Sean Mone of Keady, writer of many fine songs mentioned here over the years. Sean, of course, promptly wrote a song in reply! Its a fair bet he'll have one about the match also.

Regards
