One Killarney woman is hoping her ‘Magic Lollipop’ will stop Dublin’s bid for six All-Ireland football titles in a row tomorrow (Saturday). Although living in Killarney since 1983, Anne Breen from Ballyhaunis, remains a proud Mayo women.
The Dubs face Mayo at Croke Park in a unique Christmas title decider and the well-known Killarney school traffic warden is hoping her native county can put a stop to Dublin’s unprecedented run of success.
Mayo are seeking to win their first title in 69 years.
To complicate matters even further, her husband Anthony Snr is a Cork supporter and her three sons David , Shane and Anthony Jr are all Kerry fans.
“All five will be shouting for Mayo,” the Countess Road woman told the Killarney Advertiser. “It will be a very exciting game but we will win. I am hoping my magic sign will stop the Dubs.”
Killarney-based Dubliner Paddy Osborne disagrees.
“It will take more than a lollipop to stop Dublin,” he said. “Look, it is 2020 and as we have seen all year, anything is possible.”
Throw in for the match is 5pm tomorrow (Saturday) and it's live on RTE 2.
