The FAI cup clash between Sheriff YC and Athlone Town sounds like one hell of a spectacle.

Sports photographer Ashley Cahill, who's at the match, explained that one Athlone Town player's involvement in the game was hindered slightly after being locked in the dressing room for an extended period. https://twitter.com/cahill_ashley/status/634802013717557248 As Cahill reported, extra measures were undertaken to ensure that every player was on the pitch for the second half. https://twitter.com/cahill_ashley/status/634810158359662592?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw The photographer's Twitter timeline gives us an insight into just how mental the whole experience of the cup clash actually was, starting with the venue. https://twitter.com/cahill_ashley/status/634782036868399104 Cahill went on to emphasise that the security was out in force at the game, and they had their work cut out early. https://twitter.com/cahill_ashley/status/634785522204962816 https://twitter.com/cahill_ashley/status/634789100617363456 https://twitter.com/cahill_ashley/status/634792059157790725 In between all that madness, some football was actually played. https://twitter.com/cahill_ashley/status/634797623375986688 https://twitter.com/cahill_ashley/status/634799579423219712 https://twitter.com/cahill_ashley/status/634813891105714176 https://twitter.com/cahill_ashley/status/634814501389471744
