Partner with a US college and take some of their top athletes (reasonably sized lads now, not 8â6 basketballers or American footballers with necks longer than a normal lads waist) and give them one monthâs training. Then have them play a hurling match against the all Ireland minor hurling champions of last year (or some collection of 18-19 year olds from a county).
Be a nice test of speed and power vs skill
The minors would win by 50 goals

Itâs a win win. Shows them how skilful hurling is.
Davy Fitz must be kept away from the show
Can you imagine? Davey in a huddle in the middle of a heap of lads in american football helmets, down about 15 goals at half time, struggling to even pick up the sliotarâŠ
âDeâr laffin at ye lads, laffinâŠâ

Davy be ideal for this
Have you heard of the Toughest Trade?
Sending the minors back over Shtateside to play College Yank Football would be entertaining too.
Theyâd be fucking kilt
Shtone dead.
The yanks go in for that hyping each other up shite. Davy would be well got
Thatâs probably a few matchups that might work
Say the Kerry or Dublin football team were to take on the FAI intermediate cup winners in soccer
Minor county champions from a big county take on the All Ireland camogie champions
I think the old superstars or a twist on it would work well in the modern age with all the polarisation among sports fans. Whoâs faster, stronger etc.
âGoing For Pintsâ
Presented by Roy Curtis
Weekdays any 1:50pm on BBC1 (after the lunchtime edition of Neighbours)
âGoing for Pintsâ is the new European Television Quiz Championship presented by Roy Curtis. Contestants come from all across the continent to compete for the title of European Television Quiz Champion.
Every week we start off with seven contestants but one of them only can be crowned the weekly winner to advance to the semi-finals later on in the year.
The format is as follows.
There is a show every day from Monday to Friday with a daily winner every day from Monday to Thursday with the weekly winner being crowned on Friday.
Each day we start off with an elimination round where four players qualify for the Round of 4 and the others are eliminated for the day.
We then progress with four players to the Beat The Buzzer round, where three qualify for the Four In Row round, where two qualify for the final.
Each weekly winner gets to accompany Roy for a night on the lash in a Dublin Cathedral, where you donât want to be playing catch up.
The winner of the entire series gets to accompany Roy on his 12 Pubs Of Christmas jaunt.

Anthem Idol
Presented by Malachi Cush
20 young Ulster women aged 18-25 compete to sing AmhrĂĄn na bhFiann at the Ulster final.
We follow the 20 girls as they each go through an intensive coaching course consisting of: Attending mass, learning phonetic pronunciation, learning how to add Mariah Carey style pointless vocal flourishes, singing into a metal barrel and singing with tape over their mouth to simulate the sound effect of the PA system at an Ulster GAA venue, learning how to wear a straw hat with a county headband tied arond the base, and learning how to dress in a sexy yet completely wholesome fashion.
The contestants will be judged by a celebrity judging panel of Ulster Council Chairman Seamus McCaughey, Philomena Begley and Nathan Carter.
This competition also serves as an eliminator for the Ulster Rose division of this yearâs Rose Of Tralee.
Our contestants showcase the immense diversity of Ulster GAA:
