Here's the team that actually lined out to play.
This was spotted by Conor McKeon who was at the game.
So apart from the goalkeeper, none of the players started in the line that they were down to start in the original programme.
There was supposed half forwards playing full back, there was corner backs playing corner forward. There was a number 23 playing half back.
The spectators probably didn't have a clue who was on the ball at the various stages of the game, and probably spent more time looking at their programme than at the actual game.
Ballymuns' wasn't much better with captain Philly McMahon named to line out at corner forward of all places.
It was no surprise that he was soon back in the backline where he belongs.

The logic behind such 'mind-games' surely must be questioned as it hardly makes that much of a difference if there's so much obvious chopping and changing going on, but surely teams should be fined for such indifference to the spectators present.
It just undermines the whole thing.
Eventually, the St. Brigid's mind games had no bearing on the result of the game, with Ballymun running out comfortable winners on a scoreline of 1-17 to 1-9.Explore more on these topics:
