Publican giving out free pints if Louth beat Dublin in Leinster Final

A Dublin publican has put his money where his mouth is by offering punters in four pubs free pints if Louth beat Dublin in the Leinster Championship final.

All the pubs are in Drogheda and punters must be on the premises for the duration of the match to avail of the offer. The 'wee county' hasn't been in a final of the Leinster Senior Football Championship since that infamous game against Meath.

Louth fans still haven't fully recovered from Joe Sheridan's controversial goal that saw Meath win. All the details of when the game starts and what channel to watch on are available here.

The Dubs are seeking their 62 Leinster title while Louth are looking for their first since 1957. The publican must think it is a safe bet with Paddy Power putting a Louth win at 10/1.

Clarkes bar warned punters there are rules to the offer. They wrote on Facebook: "If Louth beat Dublin on Sunday the boss will accept defeat gracefully with a complimentary pint on the house ay the of the game.

"But remember, to be in to win you must be on the premises for the duration of the game. The offer is available in the following Drogheda pubs; Weavers, Maggie Mays, Gleeson and Clarkes."

One person commented: "Gonna be some round in 4 pubs! tis in the bag! hon the wee county!"

Another asked: "Pint of whiskey count?"

A third said: "Hopefully he'll be paying out."
