The Railway Bar, Portarlington

🟢🟣 V 🔵🟡

This Sunday, Portarlington GAA meets O ‘Dempseys — a rivalry that needs no introduction. 💥
Bragging rights. Pride. Everything in between.

The history runs deep. O’Dempseys beat Port in the 1963 final, and it wasn’t until 2022 that the two sides met in a decider again. Local legends weighed in on our “Up For The Match” Special here at The Railway Bar — called it best.
But that’s history. Sunday writes the next chapter.
Will a trophy-laden Port continue their winning streak, or is an upset on the cards?

📺 LIVE on the big screen — kick-off 4pm
🎶 Live music with Half The Truth from 6:30pm
