Great thread @panc56 - a Wikipedia entry for Féile Peile na nÓg (complete with an uptodate roll of honour) is a much needed resource to rival https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%A9ile_na_nGael

Some quick replies to this discussion to date:

- Claregalway GAA won D1 of the competition in 2022.
- in terms of future county stars emerging from successful winning Féile teams, Galway's Niall Finnegan captained Salthill to victory in Cork in 1985 and later won an all-Ireland senior football medal with the Tribesmen in 1998. He was also on the Galway team beaten by Kerry in 2000 after a replay.

Interestingly, Salthill beat Nemo Rangers in the 1985 final and future Cork star Colin Corkery also featured. As we approach the 40th anniversary of that final, a piece of useless trivia - Féile weekend in 1985 coincided with the Live Aid concerts in London and Philadelphia 😉
