I give up. When was it?
Think it may have been one of the replays in the Dublin Meath games of 1991.

Where's Jimmy Magee when you need him?
I would have guessed earlier than that, maybe late 70s or early 80s - would it have been a railway cup final maybe??
Connacht Final 1970 ;)

1989 Munster Hurling Final - Tipp / Waterford
What game did the Sunday game show the highlights of twice because of all the people ringing in saying they missed it first time round?

Tyrone derry 1992?
Yeah, it was the Tipp/Waterford Munster hurling final which nearly put an end to it such was the flaking Waterford engaged in, brutal carry on! Meath/Dublin was the first non-final shown on live TV, fair bit of flaking in that too.

Connacht Final 1970 ;)
I recalled hearing that there was a connacht final televised in the seventies , so rossfan is right.
QuoteThat same year saw him line out in the halfback line with Mayo minors in the Connacht Final against Galway in Tuam. They lost out to their neighbours that day and Galway went on to win the All Ireland title. The year 1970 marked the first ever live television broadcast of a GAA provincial final and both the minor and senior games were transmitted live form Tuam on that occasion.Courtesy of the Mayo News

I strongly suspect the games were in Salthill .
Roscommon v Mayo 1952.
The 1966 Ulster Senior Football Final was filmed by BBC, strangely enough, something to do with equipment and trucks available after the 1966 World Cup in England. I can't remember if the game was actually shown Live though it could have been. There is certainly no surviving footage of it, either way, unfortunately.
Here's another one:
What do each of the provincial champions of 2013 in both hurling and football have in common? (With the exception of the Ulster Hurling Championship which is not yet completed)
They all had home venues in the Provincial finals??
Correct
What year did Kevin Moran last play in an All Ireland Senior Final?
What is generally regarded as the oldest GAA trophy?
Or even who broke a leg in the 1st. half of an A/I senior final but was still MOTM?

Ciarán McDonald was supposed to have broken a bone in his foot just before halftime in the 2003 AI Club Final and got MOTM even though Nemo won it.

1978 was Moran's last AI I think.

Is that true, never heard it before?
19 and 20 are as follows:
The Carrahan flag is the oldest recognised GAA trophy and Maurice Fitzgerald (yes him, again) broke a leg (colleagues) and went on to be MOTM....(1997?)

Clifden, nope. Portaferry, I reckon so yeah.
Clifden is further west than the Arans. Don't know the Southern one. Maybe the Cork lads know.
Valentia Young Islanders may be the most western, Mick O'Connell, Ger O' Driscoll and Ger Lynch played for them. It is know as the closest Irish village to America.
Goleen for the Southern, nr Mizen Head.
As far as you can go.

Ballygalget more east than Portaferry. Johnney Cool could verify.

Good shout. Wouldn't be much between Gallarus and Valentia.
Ballygalget most easterly
QuoteI was thinking An Gaeltacht on the Dingle peninsula was further west.
as per the Milford Gaa clubs map
Skellig Rangers GFC, Portmagee, 51.880995,-10.370087
An Gaeltacht GFC, 52.180958,-10.363909

So Mr.
What the fook does that mean??
QuoteWhat the fook does that mean??
Mitching from school the day the geography class did lat and long?
Basically the Skellig pitch is about 400m further west than the Gaeltacht one, and 2Km further west than Valentia.

There wasn't much in it then.
So, we have...
N: Malin, Donegal
S: Goleen, Cork
E: Ballygalget, Down
W: Skellig Rangers, Kerry
Keep those in mind for the auld pub quiz.
QuoteS: Goleen, Cork
Do we know that the Goleen pitch is further south than than Ilen Rovers, Balitmore.
Or should it be the catchment area of the club?

Yeah, we're certainly more easterly than Portaferry, however Ballycran would be closer, we might just shade it though.
I'd think its us.
Has 2 brothers ever faced each other in a county senior final as will be the case in Mayo when Eoghan(Castle Mitchels )and Tommy(Breaffy)Reilly line out for their respective clubs
Was only a cub but i'm nearly sure Paul Grimley faced 1 if not 3 of his brothers Ogs v Harps in the Armagh County final in the 80s

Ah it's nice to hear that Westmeath isn't the only county in which this madness prevails. Two sets of brothers faced their siblings in a semi a few years ago between Mull Shamrocks and The Downs, but never in a final. Having no parish rule can lead to mayhem at times.
Surely this would be a common occurance in Dublin where Parish Rule is not a factor? Maybe not in a county final per se, but with all the clubs I'm sure players have faced siblings on a relatively regular basis.
1983 Tyrone Senior semi-final had brothers on opposite teams but also as direct opponents. Frank McGuigan playing at FF was marked by his younger brother Stephen.

I played against my older brother many years ago in a league match.
