Very good and very genuine. The GAA marketing people are actually looking for people to video for their new summer campaign, they want people to remember games and describe the day out. I doubt this has anything to do with it as when the advertising boys in Dublin get their hands on it it will seem so fake that it will just annoy every one. But here's hoping they sign this guy up and more like him.

Seamus O'Rourke is a class act. He has two gems of plays that are fierce  popular, The Pitch and Victors Dung. Both play a big part in the GAAs social initiative. Victors Dung in particular is absolutely hilarious, our club hosted it as part of the initiative, hall was packed, third time I watched it. If you ever get a chance go see it, O'Rourke is brilliant.

Brilliant, i was there that Day, great atmosphere and great craic with the Leitrim people. Got a shiver up the spine when me mentioned the "tear in the fathers eye" when the team ran out onto the pitch, you can't beat that feeling.....

Sums it up perfectly. A wonderful monologue.
