We're all very proud when it comes to our county in sport.

You can't beat the atmosphere when everyone gets together to shout for their home team.

But what do you do when your family is in a county conundrum?

When the family is made up of people from different counties, where do the loyalties lie?

Who do the kids support?

Eileen got in touch with Muireann. She's from Limerick, her husband is from Kilkenny.

She said:

“Hey Muireann. Question - if you could help please if you had a 4 year old and 1 year old what Jersey would you put on the kids when you’re from Limerick and your husband is Kilkenny and ye can’t agree. Who would win!?”

We asked you to let us know your county conundrums and how you solve it.

Niamh had this to say:

Tony has spent a fortune on jerseys:

"I'm from Limerick,  husband from Kerry. All kids born in UAE. Moved to Cork 2 years ago. All kids support Cork by our choice. Don't want the poor kids hassled at school." - Cat Innishannon

"We're Cork and Donegal but kids born in Waterford so wear the Deise jersey its where they were born."

"Me and my husband are out and out Galway supporters living in Kildare. Two eldest play for Kildare. Eldest son bought a Tipperary Jersey because he likes the colours!!! Going to the match on Sunday to shout for Wexford.." - Anne

"I'm wexford, my husband is Limerick, we live in wexford. We will support both teams this weekend but if they both get through to the final god knows what will happen!!!" - Jenna

"I'm from Clare but my Scottish hubby has adopted Limerick since we live there. Told him our daughter would be Limerick if they won the All Ireland last year. Just my luck they went and did it"

 However, some of our listeners have found the perfect solution!

"The brother and his wife are big gaa fans MOC. He's from Wexford and she's from Galway, so their 4 month old had a jersey for each county and also the half and half Jersey. Thankfully when they played each other earlier in the year it was a draw and no divorce required. Loch Garman Abu for Sunday."

"Half and half jerseys are the best! We are half Limerick half Tipp. Here’s our boys Darragh and Ciarán. Mammy says up Limerick " - Trisha

Then, the kind folk over at O'Neill's got in touch and they're going to send Eileen specially made Limerick and Kilkenny half and half jerseys.
