Roscommon GAA club come up with novel way to get ‘mass goers’ to early match

Roscommon GAA club Strokestown have come up with a novel way to appeal to 'mass goers' who may opt for the church over the club's game with St. Croan's GAA this morning.

With Strokestown scheduled to play St. Croan's at 11:30am on Sunday morning, the club offered to provide communion to supporters that may have skipped the match in favour of mass. https://twitter.com/StrokestownGaa/status/964572567649570816 The move is a unique way of competing with the reach of the church. While communion was seemingly served pitch side, it seems porter is on the menu for the post-match ceremony after Strokestown fought their way to a two-point win over St. Croans. It is unclear whether the club employ a full-time social media manager, but their official Twitter account certainly have an interesting way of providing live updates. https://twitter.com/StrokestownGaa/status/965207642904956928 https://twitter.com/StrokestownGaa/status/965206877440303104 https://twitter.com/StrokestownGaa/status/965206149019717632 https://twitter.com/StrokestownGaa/status/965204911960002560 https://twitter.com/StrokestownGaa/status/965202341619294209 It's hard to see the top intercounty social media accounts following a similar suit, but punctuality aside, we absolutely love Strokestown GAA's social media strategy.
