Down forward Connaire Harrison will be forced to briefly interrupt his stag-do celebrations in Ibiza as he lines out for his club side in their championship final clash in London on Sunday.

The 2017 football All-Star nominee is playing club football with Neasden Gaels, who will take part in the London Intermediate Championship final on Sunday.

However Gaels only booked their place in the final after thrashing Garryowen in the semi-final two weeks ago, and that threw a spanner in Harrison's plans for a five-day trip to Ibiza to celebrate his stag.

Taking to Twitter, Harrison revealed he had arrived in Ibiza yesterday, but would be required to fly home the very next night to prepare for the final.
