A pig farmer is serving up county colour sausages to calm tensions between fans ahead of the Leinster GAA All-Ireland final.


Peter Whelan has coloured his sausages red and green for Meath and Louth fans before Sunday's match at Croke Park.

It'll be the first time in 15 years the teams have played each other in the Leinster final.

The sausages will also be served in a pub on the border of the two counties before fans board a bus to the game.

The colourful grub is planned to be cooked barbecue breakfast style at Dolly Mitchells Pub before Meath and Louth fans head off to Croke Park on the same bus on Sunday.

The showdown is the first time the teams have met in a Leinster final since a controversial goal in the dying seconds of the match gave Meath the title in 2010.

Peter who owns The Whole Hoggs Farm in Slane, Co Meath has a herd of Irish Grazer pigs which are free to roam over 60 acres of farmland and supplies his award-winning produce to the Pantry cafe at the popular pub.

Dolly's lies just on the border of Meath and Louth, between Slane and Drogheda, and the counties are divided by the nearby Mattock river.

Peter has made 10kgs of both red and green sausages for the occasion - and may try to entice fans to try and down each other's colours without gagging.

He said: "Dolly Mitchells is within yards of the Louth border and so the place has regular customers from both counties.

"I've lived in Meath for 35 years but I'll always be a Dub, coming from Castleknock, and over the years I've got the slagging from both sets of fans when I wear the Dublin jersey to the pub.

"The Meath and Louth customers would say that Dublin were only winning because of the money being thrown at them and I always said that Meath and Louth had to get their game on to reach the high standards that Dublin had set but it was always just banter.

"It is unusual that Meath and Louth fans will share the bus from Dolly Mitchells - can you imagine the atmosphere on the way home. They are already fighting over seats."

It is also hoped that there will be enough sausages for an apres match style barbecue on Sunday evening.

Friends Callum White, Cathal Melia and Meath GAA legend Sean Boylan's son Oran teamed up to create the green and gold machine ahead of the big game.

Other pals soon joined in the collective effort and over 20 donations from helping hands made it possible to buy the car and all the materials needed.
