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.

That all Ireland gold programme this evening was great. The highlight being the clip of Joe McNally fighting against the Australians.
Anyone of a certain vintage will have recreated that with Joe in Colossos
@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.

Christ, do you know what you’ve just done…
That would be amazing.
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.

Austin Stacks received great praise from the national media for something like this back around 2014. Added a big game feel to proceedings.

Once some half baked Croke Park committee full of wankers proposes it I’m sure you’ll be all over it.

A march lead by a hape of stooks with drums? I’ll be in the pub, ye head on there with yer bobble heads.
The just stop oil brigade would have soup all over te before ye even got going
Drinking is for mugs.
Lightweight.
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.
The were tearing back to All Hollows to fiddle with some of the seminarians
