They actually lost the semi-final to Clare but the ref blew up the whistle 5 mins early so a replay was ordered.

Assuming Leinster teams possibly played Championship matches in CP, would it be 2 of the following 3 ?...( or possibly all 3)

Mickey Kearns (Sligo)..... won an all-star on 1st all-star team, before Sligo won Connacht in '75.

Andy McCallin (Antrim) ... again on the 1st all-star team in '71

Paddy Moriarity (Armagh) ...on '72 team, won his 1st Ulster in '77, along with another all-star.

I have no idea, if any of the above played NFL or Railway cup in CP, before gaining all-stars.
