Sidelines now brings you something special - a match report of today's big GAA game courtesy of Pearl Finn astrologist. Based on her planetary investigations Pearl reveals all.

"In the first Clare-Offaly replay I predicted that Clare would win in the last moment of the game, that Offaly would score a goal in the last two minutes and that Jamesie O'Connor (left) would score for Clare just before the final whistle. Due to the early finish we will never know if this were true or not but I do know that those last few moments of the game would have been really intense as both teams had aspects to the most important points in the astrology chart for the event. The end of game chart predicted drama, I just failed to identify the nature of it.

"The second replay will be an even tougher game with the main planetary influences being Mars, Pluto, Sun, and Saturn. The energy created by these planets for the game will be very difficult to manage. There will be a high anger level with a lot of frustration with the authorities (referee). This game will be a real battle of wills and the winners will be the team with the stamina, maturity and self-control. "At approximately 16.25 Offaly will be at their strongest and Ger Loughnane may feel like all is lost, but at 16.30 just like the game with Waterford, Clare will rise from the ashes and show us once again why they are the current champions. The last 15 minutes of the game should go in Clare's favour, Offaly will continue to make an impression but Clare should win by a very narrow margin."
