Was parachuted in a few times to play inter-firms games a few years ago, we played the PSNI in a Ulster final in Newry one time (played them in another maybe a year or two later) this was their first 'real' competition that they had entered and it was a bit surreal to be honest.
Arrived down and there was a protest going on outside the ground and I was nearly just going to turn round and drive home, but decided just play the game, bate the feckers (I mean I had a legal opportunity to whack a peeler with a stick) so we won the game handy enough in the end and it was physical enough in that they were very agricultural bar maybe the 2 or 3 actual players they had.. the other year they had improved but this was played at Cherryvalley and no issues around it at all....
Regarding this there was no reason to change the names to be fair, and whether they are making a mountain out of a molehill is up for debate, the fact is, there are multiple tournaments that are going on up and down the country with teams having the same name and they are never changed.. Having 2 names the same is ok, maybe there was a genuine misunderstanding
