Three weeks of arduous competition have brought us to this momentous stage. We have finally reached the 2015 Beard Bracket final. 14 of the finest beards in Irish sport have been brushed aside and only two men are left standing: Sligo goalkeeper Aidan Devaney and ice hockey player Matt Nickerson of the Belfast Giants.
Devaney, the GAA champion, defeated 2013 champion John Muldoon in resounding fashion in the semifinal. He now faces the beard battle of his life. Nickerson sports one of the best beards in the world, not to mention Ireland. Two epics beard, yes, but only one man can win.
Ultimately, though, it is up for the people to choose. Will it be Devaney's gingery effort or Nickerson's Mad Max beard? You decide, folks.
