Don't know if this has been up before but just seen it at lunch. Basically you have to name each all star between 1990-1999 (surname will do) within 15 minutes.

I got 125 out of 150. Missed 9 of the 1990 team but considering i was only 4 I won't be too hard on myself ;)

Just 102. I'd about 10-15 names on the tip of my tongue that i couldn't get out, another 4-5 (Moynihan, Corkery included) that were inexcusable. The rest I'd never have got.

i forgot Tony Scullion... which cost me another 3/4 points - also inexcusable

Got 138. Really jogs the memory. Time caught me..there are only 2 I wouldn't have remembered, John Finn in 98 and Joyce McMullan from 1990.

112.

Missed Charlie Redmond which was a bad omission and how could any Mayo supporter forget Brendan Reilly in 1997?

Indeed.

Oddly he didn't get an All-Star for that. Cluxton nearly got POTY for doing it.

About another 30 I should have got but there were a few I'd no chance. Great wee quiz that!

The 2000 to 2010 would be a good one too I reckon.

Got 150 out of 150 in 6 minutes and some seconds.
Just a lie to put an end to all these boring bulletins.
