Has there being a higher individual score ever recorded in a senior championship club game? Huge score to knock out Garrycastle in the semi final of the senior championship in Westmeath. 2-16 of a total team score of 2-19 !

2-2 from play.. Can't wait for everyone to say all 12 frees were 13 metre tap overs. He's easily one of the best free takers in the country..
Totally abondanded his defensive duties though so really wasn't that impressive.

bad defending from the other team to give away 12 kickable frees IMO..

Should be 14 frees. Was from midfield as well.

and the fact that it was against good opposition makes it even more remarkable

I think the fact that a team gave away 14 scoreable frees is shocking. Scoring 2-16 from play would be amazing, scoring 2-2 is still very good but nothing out of this world.

Conor Beirne, a 21 year old full forward from Eslin in Leitrim, scored 3-10 in a game in the intermediate championship last year, the following week he scored 2-12 , I stand to be corrected but I think in the end he scored 8-53 in the 6 championship games he played

Scorable frees is a very vague term. What's scorable for one person isn't for another. The frees weren't tap overs. And the fact that he had 18 shots and didn't hit a wide all day is decent going

Matty Forde topped that plenty of times,

As far as I know it was 2-4 from play and the other 12 from frees. What a score to put up against a team like Garrycastle.

I think Michael Murphy scored about 0-13 or 0-14 in a club league game against Buncrana earlier in the year.
2-16 is some scoring though - handy frees or not!
