Muse's preparations for Tuesday night's concert in Dublin involved a charity match against a Cabinteely XI in Kilbogget Park.

The link between the band and the League of Ireland's youngest club comes through Chris Wolstenholme. The bassist's son Alfie used to play for the south Dublin club's youth teams.

Eddie Gormley, the Cabinteely manager and former League of Ireland star, laced up the boots once more in a game Muse won 9-8.
