Well done to whoever is in the hotseat today.
Trinity College Dublin are taking on Maynooth University in the Inter-varsities Junior Championship this afternoon.
The game is obviously a big deal for all of those involved, but it’s fair to say it’s not a meeting that’s on everyone’s radar.
However, thanks to some comedic tweeting from the @TCDGAA account, a lot more eyes are on the game.
Maynooth University set the challenge.
We’re in the presence of @HigherEdGAA twitter greatness today with @TCDGAA on site. We’ll keep the score lads, ye do the jokes.

Trinity College duly delivered with a stream of entertaining tweets.

James: Can we play this #Inters match? Brían: You both played Sigerson, you’re ineligible. Paul: What does ineligible mean? #tcdgaa #inters

Hey @SkySportsGAA why aren’t you televising this match? #tcdgaa #Inters

Finding two good corner backs has always been a tough task for the #inters, but iiiit’s alright ’cause we’re saved by the bell, Jack Bell!

Completing the half back line is Rob Lynch, who’ll be taking a hands-on approach today since he’s not the best at using his feet #tcdgaa

‘His farm supplies Dublin with the finest dairy, whoever he’s marking better say a Hail Mary.’ Captain Muiris Ó Scanaill starts in midfield.

Completing the #Inters midfield is Micheál Meenagh, who lost a coin toss with Muiris and has to do all the running today. Unlucky. #tcdgaa

If our no. 11 Jack King’s movement on the pitch is like his movement on the @CopperFaceJacks dance floor then his man is in for a long game
— Trinity College GAA (@TCDGAA) February 18, 2015
No. 15 is Paddy Kirk, the only man in #tcdgaa history to attempt a dummy solo for the #inters and not make an absolute fool of themselves

#Inters debut for Brian Seagrave after Eoin O’Neill was black carded about two minutes after being brought on
— Trinity College GAA (@TCDGAA) February 18, 2015
Brían’s message to Eoin O’Neill before going on: ‘keep the head.’ Instant #Inters cult hero status now with that black card

Paddy Kirk defying the laws of #Inters forwards by kicking more scores than wides

Jack King picking up loose ball like he picks up loose women in @CopperFaceJacks – frequently

I kid you not, we're 15 points up here. #Yop

The half time worry was our performance would turn sour, but just like Muiris' milk, that was never in danger of happening
— Trinity College GAA (@TCDGAA) February 18, 2015
Penalty for Maynooth. Rock paper scissors used to decide the taker. #innovative Candy hits it low to the net.

Result @TCDGAA 3-15 @MaynoothUniGAA 2-10. Hard luck to the lads and congrats to Trinity.
