“My brothers at home still have not sorted one,” she said.

The Mayo woman, who immigrated 17 years ago after graduating from college, felt she had to make the trip home for this All Ireland.

“I have always been a big fan,” she told the Irish Voice. “I booked my flights in the taxi on the way home from the semifinal.”

Yes, I can well imagine the huge desire of Mayo and Donegal people wanting to get home from the USA, UK, and Europe and possibly even Oz to attend the All-Ireland Football final. It is a huge, exciting event for the people of both counties, given the scarce chances their teams have had a shot at of capturing the Sam Maguire Trophy. But even if you fans do get home and don’t get a ticket to be present in Croke Park, at least you’d be in the thick of all the excitement and craic sitting at home or especially in any pub in Mayo or Donegal. I’m a Dub, looking forward to the game. Good luck to both counties; hoping for a classic final, proving the West’s Awake.
