EDINBURGH HARPS soccer team and Dunedin Connollys GFC will play each other at their own game this Sunday in a bid to help the underprivileged in Scotland's capital.
The two football clubs will face off in Edinburgh, playing one half under soccer rules before switching to the laws of Gaelic football.
Each player competing will make a monetary donation which will, in turn, be used to a fund a food bank drive in the city.

“It will be an experience for a few of the Harps lads,” joked Niall Foley of Edinburgh Harps.
“We have some Scottish and a couple of European players amongst our ranks, for whom it will be a bit of a challenge, no doubt.”
Perhaps those who have never played GAA before can take inspiration from Antrim goalscorer Bam Neeson, whose unorthodox 'chip' in Gaelic football has gone down a storm on social media since the Saffrons' 3-11 to 1-11 win over Queens University in the Dr McKenna Cup on Wednesday night.
