Anyone ever come across a site called gaainfo.com which seems to have disappeared recently? It had historical league and championship results going back to about 1980, county appearances, top scorers etc but it seems to have gone off the radar recently.
So is there a alternative site that covers such material, apart from Wikipedia....say all time championship appearances, top scorers for particular year and the like?
Gaalore.ie was the name i think?
Yeah, gaainfo.com it was. Sorry to see it go, shovelled an awful lot of content from it onto my site. In case you think you were imagining it, here's the Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/pages/GAAInfocom/387763177940374). Hopefully it's just a domain name issue.
Was there something similar called Gaelic Gazette?

That was a website with articles about the GAA in general. It was set up by a chap called Richard Behal and he was particularly eager to make it an archive of old articles by the likes of Kevin Cashman. Richard suffered a bereavement (http://www.anfearrua.ie/topic.aspx?id=15180) which understandably contributed to him losing enthusiasm for the site. I think he may have emigrated to Australia. You can read more about it here (http://www.anfearrua.com/viewdoc.aspx?id=1161).
Yeah, gaainfo was class, you could look up the result of every c'ship meeting between any 2 teams since 1887 in hurling and football.
It also had every league meeting from about the 1980s on, plus each players total and individual scoring tallies.
I presume they have the database backed up. There was some mirror site but the "rivalries" function didn't work i.e. where you entered two counties and filtered by sport, year and competition to see the results between.
Hurling fans are fortunate to have hurlingstats.ie (http://www.hurlingstats.ie/). It has every inter-county result ever! Don't know of any football equivalent.
Not much activity on their facebook page either by looks of it....btw what's your website Deiseach?

I still have that Gaelic Gazette PDF if anyone wants a copy.
