Dublin and Meath stars come together for Throw in for FOCUS!

What a night at Parnell Park!

Last night saw Dublin and Meath renew their famous rivalry for a very special cause, as Staycity Presents: Throw in for FOCUS brought together GAA legends, current stars and Masters players, all in support of Focus Ireland.

And there was no shortage of drama on the pitch! Meath got off to a flying start, building up a commanding lead in the first half, but the Dubs weren't going down without a fight! A brilliant second-half comeback saw Dublin turn things around and come away with the win, much to the delight of the home crowd!

One of the highlights of the night was seeing men's and ladies' players sharing the pitch, with different generations of footballers coming together, having a bit of fun and playing for such an important cause. It was a brilliant reminder of the power of sport to bring people together!

A huge thank you to every single player who gave up their time to take part and help make the event such a success. It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces back in their county colours, alongside today's stars, all coming together for something bigger than football.

And of course, a massive thank you to everyone who came along to Parnell Park to cheer on the teams! From families and young supporters to local clubs and lifelong Dublin fans, you all played an important part in making the night so special.

Most importantly, the event helped raise vital funds and awareness for Focus Ireland, supporting children and families experiencing homelessness across Ireland.

A special thanks also to Dublin GAA, Meath GAA, Focus Ireland and everyone behind the scenes who helped bring the event together.

Two counties, men and women playing side by side, and one great cause! 

Thank you to everyone who played their part!
