Sitting at the bar at Hayes Hotel in 1884 after mistaking an A for a Y in the advert for a new mens Organisation being formed and realising the men at the table were meeting to form a sporting Organisation. Can laugh about it now though. Offside_Rule (Antrim) - Posts: 4058 - 05/09/2018 19:52:27 2139627 Link 1 |

I remember when my club won a minor championship in 1997 as a 5 year old, I just remember cars tooting around the place. PattyONeill (Derry) - Posts: 220 - 05/09/2018 19:55:13 2139629 Link 0 |

1st GAA memory was whole summer of 1985 weren't far off that year whole county went crazy. 1st game brought to was league semi final in 86 v mayo in croke park. I'll never forget the roar of the crowd and atmosphere maybe it was just me being a kid and v young but the old croke park and league semi finals and finals had a way better atmosphere back then. seanie08 (Monaghan) - Posts: 1798 - 05/09/2018 20:49:21 2139651 Link 0 |

That was my first Munster final - was in the stand too and Limerick scored a. penalty with the first attack and a second goal midway through the first half when he received the ball with his back to the goals - they knocked in about 3-12 that day and we scored about 23 or so points - the goals cost Ballylongford's Kieran Culhane father of David who played with Kerry 2 or 3 years ago his place at full back with Tom Spillane returning for the semi against Down.. that year in Killarney was my first Kerry/Cork game too - Cork were going for3 in a row all Ireland final wise and JOHN Cronin from Waterville got on the end of a mid kick from Man of the match Pa Dennehy and stitched it. My first Kerry game was a pitch opening in Castiemaine in 1989 vs Dublin will never forget the crowd. But ya 1991 was a strange one Limeick def give us enough of it that day.

Tyrone v Derry 1972 Ulster Semi final at O,Neill Park, Dungannon. Tyrone won by two points and went on to lose the final to first time winners Donegal. I always liked going to O,Neill Park and as well as hosting Tyrone matches it also staged several Ulster semi finals including Derry, Monaghan and Armagh.It would be good if they could develop the ground to county standard again as a backup to Omagh.
