Wexford ladies footballers were in a senior All-Ireland final in 1986 trying to prevent Kerry winning a 5 in a row judging by GAA Gold on TG4. Informative. Didn’t realise Wexford had such tradition in ladies football.
@peddlerscross what would you think of them resurrecting a band parade before the All Ireland. It could leave from O’Connell St and march to the stadium with a throng following on behind. It would really add to the sense of occasion.
I think the AFL have something similar the day before with both teams parading on open top buses. It brings great razzmatazz to Grand Final weekend.
I suppose Tipp do the Sean Treacy Memorial on Talbot Street at 12 noon on AI Final day but unfortunately no other county has our rich heritage and tradition.
They definitely should resurrect the tradition of the throw-in being facilitated by a flock of fellas in frocks who then need to eject themselves with great haste from proceedings as skin and ash goes flying.
