Who was the highest ever scorer in one match at intercounty level?
Please don't just guess but have a name, county,score and against who is possible.
Rory Gallagher scored 3-8 or 3-9 in an Ulster Championship game some years back. That's pretty impressive even if not the correct answer!
Yeah, I would have guessed it was Rory Gallagher.
Or possibly Matty Forde.
This thread could be over very quickly if no one is allowed to guess.
My guess is it was a lady footballer.
There has probably been a hurler who has plundered more than 3-8 in a game?
Sorry I mean footballer and it was from yesteryear before the 90s
I read it from a website so I presume its accurate but who knows for sure
It was a very high score of 4-11

Matt Connor
Frank Donnelly, Tyrone.
Frank Donnelly was the scorer of 4-11 for Tyrone in a Lagan Cup match Vs Fermanagh. I believe it was in 1957.

Matt Connor's overall scoring record at intercounty is just jaw-dropping stuff especially given how short his career was - 38 goals and 383 points and he was only 24/25 when he had his car accident.

Mikey Sheehy & Jimmy Keavney (2-6 I think).
Highest number of scores is Canavan with 11.
The record for Kerry was Gawksie O'Connor who scored 5-10 in an old Oireachtas competition in the 40s, not sure if you're counting that competition.
Record scorer from play in AI final is the Bomber with 3-2
How many did he kick? 😄
