Believe it or not! (useless trivia)

[From the Bunker]

Between 1955 and 1981 Mayo won only 2 connacht senior provincial titles, they went the whole of the 70's without a title.

Despite Cavan holding 39 Ulster senior titles they have only won one title since 1969.

Despite 30 AI titles, Kilkenny will be going next year for only their second three in a row AI's ther last one was in 1911/12/13.

Anybody else have useless trivia (pub talk) to share?

Between 1915 and 1955 Cavan never went more than 2 years without winning an Ulster Senior title, achieving Five 3 in a rows, Three 4 in a rows, Three 5 in a rows, and Two 7 in a rows along the way.  No small feat!

Tony Scullion was a late developer and never played minor football for Derry. He was asked into the U-21 team in his last year. The side went on to win the U-21 1983 Ulster Championship and went on to be runners up to Mayo in the All-Ireland Under-21 Football Championship after a replay.

Scullion was also a keen hurler for both Ballinascreen and Derry. He played in five Derry Senior Hurling Championship finals and was man of the match in the 1989 final, despite never winning a final. He played for the Derry hurling team between 1983 and 1991.

He was part of the Derry side which were runners up to Down in the 1988 All-Ireland B final.

In 1922, the 'Civil War' Connaught hurling final between Galway and Roscommon ended in acrimony after Pa Weedy of the tribemen blew his goalie up with a crudely made device shaped like a 'Good Luck Today' card... although the match resumed after the netminder was swept from the pitch, it left a sour taste
