Many Christmas Day swims were cancelled across the country owing to heavy rain - an irony lost on approximately zero percent of the population - but inclement weather did not put a kibosh on the South Kerry Senior Football Championship Final in Portmagee today. Maurice Fitzgerald, Bryan Sheehan and St Mary's won the title - beating Waterville by nine points to six - but the most important result (for the rest of us) were a series of fantastic photographs, courtesy of Sportsfile.
If ever there was need for proof as to why the GAA don't schedule too many matches for Stephen's Day, this is it.
This image exists to prove the St Mary's jerseys were once white...
...But were soon to succumb to this marvellously marshy pitch (and yes, that's Maurice Fitzgerald)
As we were saying...
Mary's win: Cue muddy delirium
Although Maurice Fitzgerald did his very best to remain clean
