Thousands are expected to descend upon the Washingbay this weekend as some of the world’s finest players attempt to master one of the hardest feats in sport today: hitting the crossbar in front of Lough Neagh whilst being attacked by midges.

Sources close to the club have confirmed that a flight has already been chartered from Miami, with Messi on board, bound for Aldergrove. Messi is also expected to take part in the Easter Hunt and is bringing with him a home-made Argentinian basket which may not be accepted by officials due to its depth.

Ronaldo is also purported to be on his way, which will see his second visit to Derrylaughan after he attended last year’s league game against Stewartstown. The Portuguese striker is a big fan of Stewartstown’s Gareth Devlin.

Organiser Jimmy Kiniddy added:

“It’s great that Messi an all will have a go at the welly-throwing competition but at the same time, they still need to pay the £10 entry fee. It’s for a good cause. There’s talk Mbappe is already in Falls’ Bar, taking on allcomers at the darts. I’ve heard he has refused to leave until he meets Brian Kennedy.”
