Too many to name..

Barney Rock's last gasp equaliser against Cork in 83 into the Hill in the SF - a great day

Joe McNally's step over and fanatastic finish to demolish Cork in the replay - even greater day

1995 -dismissal of TYrone and what a session afterwards with the team in Mahers and march from mansion house the following day. Another great day in blue.

League vistory against Tyrone in Omagh after a bitter match but what a sweet victory.

Gone are the days!

U-14 All-Ireland Feile.

9 points down at half time, CHB sent off at half time, score a crucial goal in the 2nd half, Young lad kicks the winning point in additional time. Unbelieveable and all done with mates and guys I grew up with.

Better than all the AI finals combined, but Armagh semi 05 ran it all the way for my favourite moment. Greatest match I was ever at, seen or heard of.

The 1969 Ulster Final when we beat Down the reigning All Ireland Champs in Casement Park. Gene Cusack's goals were wonderful. Big crowd and me a wee boy in the middle of them !!

213778 Has to be the semi in 06 when we beat dublin. About 10 of us watched it on hols(1st c/ship game i missed in years) and we were making so much noise that everyone watching the huge local soccer derby ended up cheering us on even though they hadn't a clue about the gaa. Free beer all around after the game. What a comeback, legendary stuff. I don't know what it feels like to win an AI but that had to be damn close!


That was the best day of my life. Didnt get up to the game but was watching at home. Truly memorable. That match made 2006 the best YEAR of my life. Especially as it was against dublin it made the victory all the more sweeter

Without doubt the 2001 connacht football final. Gerry Lohan scoring that goal in the 74th minute. No better feeling in the world than beating Mayo (a rare occurance in recent times)

Missed that day in drogheda against kildare but seen the highlights many time until the tape got recorded over, would have love to have been there but beating Donegal in the div two final was a great day as was the drawn game against Tyrone in navan.

agree with doc08 galway kildare was some match especially the second half right up there with the best game of the last 20 years. special day too as tyrone won the minors that day with probably the best minor team ever in croker as the three all irelands since have shown.

On a personal level it would be winning a division 4 minor league final many, many years ago in Pairc Tailteann against a team who bet us by around 30 points in the group stages a few weeks earlier.

At county level, Meath hammering Kerry in 2001 semi final sticks out but we were well beaten in the final by Galway.
