Unfair to mention Slaughtneil's post-Ulster hurling campaigns?

Quote from: mouview on July 29, 2026, 09:58:59 AMSalthill thrashed Corofin in the 1990 county final with a team laden with county players, (not just Galway ones). They looked set to dominate the domestic scene for a good decade. Instead, they lost the following year's final to Corofin after a replay, who would instead go on to be king pins in Galway for many years after. Despite having many strong line-ups on paper, Salthill would lose 7 finals after 1990 and only add on a paltry 2 more. Real underacheivement.

Salthill beat us in Croke Park 2004 on Paddy's day, they did alright at some point

2006 I think? That team contained such as Michael Donnellan, Alan Kerins, Gordon Morley, Maurice Sheridan, none of whom were 'natives'. Given the talent at their disposal, I was astounded they couldn't win it in 1990/91. They walked Galway that year.

2004? Not sure but I've never watched it back! Donnellan was one of the better players that day in a very poor match
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

"Salthill–Knocknacarra defeated St Gall's by 0–7 to 0–6 in the final at Croke Park on 17 March 2006 to win the competition. It was the club's first title"

Lord above look at that scoreline. The dark ages of Gaelic Football.

More recently the All-Ireland club IFC final

An Ghaeltacht 0-12 Glenullin 0-6 was much worse considering it was played with the new rules.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose
