Football match to decide where Craggy Island is

A football match has been organised to settle an argument as to which rocky outposts off the coast of County Galway is the 'real' Craggy Island, home of Father Ted.

The five-a-side match is to be part of the three-day Tedfest 07 which is being held on the island of Inis Mor this weekend. To add to the friendly rivalry Former Republic of Ireland footballers John Aldridge and Tony Cascarino have taken up the challenge of managing the teams.

The challenge has come about as the residents of Inis Oirr, the smaller neighbouring island, believe they have a better claim to be Craggy Island because the opening Father Ted titles, including shots of the wrecked cargo ship the Plassey, were filmed on their island - not Inis Mor where the festival is taking place.

The festival has been organised by a group of fans from Galway to commemorate the ninth anniversary of the death of Dermot Morgan, who played the much-loved Father Ted. Other themed events taking place this weekend include a Lovely Girls contest, Hide a Nun and Seek, the Toilet Duck Comedy Awards, Ludo championships and Buckeroo Speed Dating.
