Sky Sports release brilliant All-Ireland final promo - with the help of Paul Mescal

Sky Sports have released their promo for this weekend's All-Ireland final, with help from Paul Mescal.

Ahead of their coverage of Saturday's showpiece, the broadcaster have recruited the Normal People star to narrate their trailer.

The brilliant video looks back on a year like no other for football fans as they then look ahead to Dublin v Mayo in the decider.

'2020 - Far From Normal' highlights an unprecedented year where human interaction was replaced by social distancing.

And following this year's All-Ireland championships, Mescal asks if 2020 could provide one last shock as Mayo chase a first title in 69 years.

And Mayo's Stephen Coen reckons that the subdued build-up to the decider could suit him and his teammates.

“It’s nice to be at home. I remember in previous finals I was working in the bank in Castlebar during the summer.

“People came into the bank not to do business but to talk about the games so at home here with the animals, they don’t talk back.

“That way you can control your own thoughts and save a lot of energy that way. That has a massive bearing on prep for every game and is one big difference this year.”
