Jeff Stelling and Chris Kamara headed to one of the most westerly parts of the country on their tour of Ireland ahead of commentating on the All-Ireland football final next month.

The duo got the ferry to Inis Oirr, to meet members of the Oileáin Árann club to find out how gaelic games brings the communities of the Aran Islands together.

Part of AIB's Jeff & Kammy's Journey to Croker, the Soccer Saturday stars will travel the country finding out about all things GAA before taking their places in the commentary box for the September 17th decider.

Once arriving off the ferry, Stelling and Kamara drove around the island before sampling the culture at one of Ireland's most picturesque sports grounds.

Games take place on Inis Oirr and Inis Mór, the duo are told, as players from all age grades trained at Páirc Peil.

Speaking to members of the senior team, Kamara found out that a two-handed pass in gaelic football is actually a foul.

One of the highlights of the series has been the former Bradford manager's battle with the Irish language. Learning that a hand pass as Gaelige is 'pas láimhe', Kammy turns it into 'pass saliva'.

The trip to Croke Park continues.
