PICTURES: Louth GAA fans turn Dublin red and white ahead of All-Ireland quarter final

We are in Croke Park today for the meeting of Louth and Monaghan in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter-final.

Gavin Devlin’s Louth players pulled off a famous win earlier this month to reach this stage as they saw off Armagh on a 2-20 to 2-19 scoreline.

It was the Wee County’s first championship win over their near neighbours and was enough to send Louth fans into optimism mode again after a Jekyll and Hyde summer so far.

Thousands of Louth fans have made their way to Croke Park and reporter Ciara Nolan snapped some of them - in and around GAA HQ.
