Prepare for missile toe and wine...

A CHRISTMAS All-ireland final, played on the 19th of

December, will be very, very special.

The prospect of it excites me more by the day – it will be like nothing we’ve seen before. It will be so iconic.

Can you imagine the build-up in the two counties who will feature in the final? Crazy mayhem will ensue!

Couple that with the fabulous feeling of Christmas, my favourite time of the year.

It will be explosive, it will be magical - a week to celebrate everything good and great about this little country of ours. I can’t wait.
