THEY may be married just a month but newly weds Cathal Crowe and Maeve Fehilly admits they will be pulling in different directions on Sunday.
Cathal is a well-known member of Clare County Council living in Meelick, a border town with Limerick.
Maeve is a native of another town that borders Limerick, but this time it is on the other side of that county – Charleville in County Cork.
“There is a very heightened sense of identity when you are that near the border,” explained Cathal, and each of them are loyal to their own county.
“There will be two different jerseys going off in the car that morning,” he added, knowing there will only be one happy newly wed arriving home on Sunday evening – bar a draw of course.
This will be the second game the couple has attended as man and wife.
The first was the less controversial semi final Clare against Limerick.
“We arrived back from honeymoon that morning to Shannon Airport and drove straight to Dublin. Maeve drove home afterwards,” said Cathal who was that day celebrating victory.
The big question now is who will be driving home on Sunday evening and will they still be travelling together?
