We are nearly there, folks. It is nearly time to put a crown on the Irish sports beard of 2015. It's been a great year for beards and we have representatives of four sports represented here. Gaelic football, rugby, soccer and ice hockey each send one beard into the last four. The onus is now on you, the Balls.ie reader, to decide who will proceed to the final.
Semifinal #1: Aidan Devaney vs John Muldoon
GAA versus rugby. Sligo versus Galway. Two truly epics beards. Muldoon is the 2013 king. Devaney is the new kid on the block. Only one can win.
Semifinal #2: Paul McShane vs Matt Nickerson
A cult hero of Irish football takes on a Yank in Belfast. A beard newbie takes on a beard beast. Hull City's Paul McShane has done well to reach the semifinal, but he faces the beard battle of his life to beat Matt Nickerson of the Belfast Giants.
