It was a Q/f . I was there as it was a weekend of Q/F in Dublin . It was played of a Saturday and was the curtain raiser to Galway v Kk . Lk played Ce and Wd player Ck on the Sunday .
Twas 2007. Darren Stamp caught a ball and was fouled. Typical Tipp backchat got it moved to the centre. Barry Lambert, the free taker held the ball up high to signal Fitzy to come forward. Fitzy was already at the half way line by that stage. Chaos then ensued. John Meylers finest moment as Wexford manager. Skippy and Rossi gave exhibitions that day in their best positions after Meyler tried Skippy as a full back on Shefflin and pulled him ashore after 20 mins in the Leinster final.
I had forgotten about Paul Codd scoring a goal from a free too. That goal MCarthy got at the start of the game has gone very much under the radar over the years. One of the best goals Iāve seen anyway, to double on it like that and get so much power and accuracy.
Except it wasnāt backchat, that sulky cunt James McGrath reckoned he ran over the ball to stop the free being taken quickly.
Eamonn Corcoran was a fine hurler and a gentleman to boot, the galway lads tried to ruin his career one year alright, got him suspended for a summer.
