RTÉ One Calling all Déise fans are you truly Up for the Match? Then get your smartphones out this weekend and start filming https://youtu.be/9d4NW3ugGx0 DO you consider yourself the biggest Waterford hurling fan in the county? Are you the type of person who lives, breathes and sleeps hurling? Do you think you can prove it for the chance to win a pair of tickets to this year’s All Ireland Hurling final? Then the Up for the Match team want to hear from you! Up for the Match returns to RTÉ One television on Saturday, 2nd September, the eve of the AllIreland Hurling final. Earlier last week Des, Gráinne and the production team launched a search to find the biggest hurling fan in each of the two counties that have made this year’s All Ireland hurling final – Waterford and Galway. Des Cahill said: “We’ve been hugely impressed with the quality of the entrants to our biggestfan@rte.ie email ad-
dress so far. It’s fair to say our search has captured the imagination of fans of the Tribesmen the length and breadth of the county. But we want even more. Maybe you come from the biggest family of fans in Waterford, and have the memorabilia and tall tales to prove it? Perhaps you have composed a song or written a tribute to your team that you want to share with the nation? Or maybe you travel all over the country supporting your local and county teams- while holding down your day job? If so, don’t miss out on your chance to be crowned the biggest Déise fan in the country and to appear on UP FOR THE MATCH –as well as to go to the All Ireland final the next day! Get your smart phones out and start filming this weekend as the closing date is fast approaching! The more imaginative or creative you can be with your videos the better as we will be
making our decision based on the content that really stands out.” THE PRIZE A selection of the best videos will be broadcast on the show on September 2nd. And for the cream of the crop we are offering a once-in-a-lifetime prize - two tickets to the Up for the Match live TV show on Saturday, 2nd September in RTÉ studios, overnight accommodation at a hotel in Dublin on the night of the show- plus a pair of tickets each to the All Ireland Hurling Final the following day (courtesy of GAAGO). HOW TO ENTER If you think you have what it takes to be the Déise’s biggest fan send your video to our dedicated email address: biggestfan@rte.ie Please make sure to put Waterford in the subject heading, and include a daytime telephone number. The closing date for the receipt of entries is Tuesday, August 29th.
