Sarah Rowe and Aishling Moloney have so much in common. Mayo ladies star Rowe is a final year P.E and Biology student in DCU, Moloney is a second year in the same course.
The pair reside in the same College Park apartment in the north Dublin campus. They are both exuberant forwards upon whose shoulders much of the hopes of their counties rest.
Imagine the build-up, the anticipation in that Glasnevin apartment last week. The two girls were preparing for All-Ireland senior finals, senior and intermediate respectively, knowing that they could both reach the promised land by the weekend.

"My fav human on earth surface," replied Rowe under the Instagram post.
