The Final Countdown to Sam Maguire
![]() |
Saturday, September 18th, 2010
On the eve of the football final, Saturday 18th September, fans are invited to soak up the atmosphere at the home of the GAA. Guests can mingle with past GAA legends such as Mick O'Dwyer, Peter Canavan, Niall Cahalane, Seamus and Pat McEnaney, Bernard Flynn, Stephen McDonnell and Barney Rock - and get in to the spirit of the occasion by coming along to The Final Countdown, a unique pre-final event at GAA headquarters.
Our host for the evening will be Eoin McDevitt from Newstalk's Off the Ball. He will ensure that all present will get into the spirit of the occasion; the festivities will get underway with a drinks reception held at the GAA Museum where a Two Team cocktail will be served on arrival!
Guests will then enjoy a delicious three-course meal, which will be served
in the Cusack Suite, overlooking the pitch, where all the action will take place
the following afternoon.
Great music and entertainment is guaranteed to get everyone in the mood for
Sunday; whilst greats of the game will be passing on their perspectives on how
things might unfold on the hallowed turf. There will also be a few surprises
in store on the night including a chance to win All-Ireland Final tickets.
Croke Park really is the only place to be at 3.30pm on All-Ireland Final day,
but what better way to celebrate this huge Irish occasion than to come along
the evening before to enjoy a true GAA celebration. It promises to be the great
start to a great weekend!
