GAA club team takes ice baths to a whole new level on the hills of Donegal

"Team of eejits" - Joe Brolly, 2016.

Jumping into an ice bath is one thing. Doing it on the Atlantic coast on the hills of Donegal is an entirely different ball game altogether. That's how they do it in the Donegal senior championship though. Naomh Mhuire are preparing for action in their championship group with Glenfin, Malin and Ballybofey and they're not taking anything lying down. A shot of their post-training routine has left lesser men shivering drinking their tea and it has left Joe Brolly unhappy. Imagine... Kieran Cunningham of the Irish Daily Star posted a picture of the Donegal club side stripped down at the side of the pitch and freezing themselves in any container they could find. They could be forgiven for expecting better weather in May. https://twitter.com/KCsixtyseven/status/728135041461575680 Of course, it wasn't long before a notorious RTÉ pundit was lurking around asking questions. https://twitter.com/JoeBrolly1993/status/728139389813989376 And he got the debate going. He always does. https://twitter.com/speersyboy/status/728144202438074370 https://twitter.com/HughYank/status/728141925723709440 Sooner or later though, the real questions were being asked. https://twitter.com/jonnypmayo/status/728152151445278720 Don't blame Kevin Cassidy this time.
