Very good Gaillimh. I would never have thought of the Duggans. At least Jimmy won in '66. The O Neills never won one.

1292212 What County (what year) won an AI semi final and THEN lost their provincial final the same year??

Cork in 1941 won the All-Ireland senior hurling title. Munster Final not played until November because of Foot and Mouth outbreak. Tipp beat them in Munster Final.


Also Mayo in 1925. The Connacht championship had not been completed before the all-Ireland semis so Mayo were nominated to represent Connacht. They beat Wexford while the other semi-finalists (Kerry and Cavan) were thrown out due to objections and counter-objections. Galway subsequently beat Mayo in the delayed Connacht final and were declared all-Ireland champions!

wexford got to semi to without winning leinster


I think you misunderstood the question stmunnsriver. the question was: what team got to a semi-final but NEVER won a provincial title. Fermanagh are the only team to do this. In fact I think they are one of only 2 counties never to have won a provincial title.

Correct cute-hoor. Brendan Lynch is the 60-70-80 minute man. The 3 outta 4 midfielders question is close to home for u as well!
