The Greatest Point

[Archie Mitchell]

Didn't John Donnellan score a mighty point in 98? Picked the ball up in his defence and a couple of 1-2s later it was over the bar

That doesn't sound like something John could do.

That red haired guy from Laois scored an almighty point against Dublin a few years back

Eamon Burns v Down 1991 in the Athletic Grounds

Ciaran Carey's equaliser against Clare in the 96 MHSF in the Gealic Grounds will never be equalled in any code of sport  .

That would be my top hurling score ever never mind point. Inspirational stuff.

I thought it was the winner though.

[Yes I Would]

Have to agree with he Longford lads. Never saw anything like Bardens point against Down. He took a fisted pass from his own goalie and actually soloed out towards the sidelline on the press box side in Pearse Park. Where I was on that side of the field with the crowd around me he actually disappeared out of my view (Pre the steps on that side of the field) All I could see was Down players going across to try and intercept him (push him over the line) and then they would disappear out of view. Then out of the blue he re-aapears about 30 yards out with half of Down after him and continued to kick the score.
I think it is genuinely the only time I have seen both sets of supporters applaud a score.

Surely points against Down in recent times shouldnt count!!

Monaghan people have long memories (out of necessity) for a few sporting achievements.

The Monaghan cast iron entry to an all time top 10 list.
Anyone witness  Eamon McEneaney's last kick of the game equalising point against Kerry in AISF 1985,
a free kick taken from a conservatively measured 65 yards out?

Probably the point of my childhood.

(as well as McCabe's the following year for different reasons)

I would say my favourite point would be Ciaran McDonalds against the dubs a few years back, 2006?..closely followed by Maurice Fitzgeralds in 2001 from the sideline.

What about Wilie Joe vs Cork-AI final 1989?

Fantastic point alright ...but if we're talking about the greatest ever, I'd have to give the nod to Eoin Quigley:

The word genius is overused but fits that score

Maurice Fitz from the sideline, super
