Only once before has an the All Ireland Hurling Final been played in July - the 1911 decider.
The game was supposed to feature Limerick and Kilkenny, but Limerick refused to play in Thurles, after the original fixture on 18th February 1911 fixed for Cork was postponed owing to the state of the pitch. Munster runners up Tipperary were nominated to play in Limerickās absence - the final being deferred to 28th July 1912.
Kilkenny were the winners by 3-3 to 1-1.

Thatās a bad omen for Limerick.
To the best of my knowledge Kerry had only played Dublin once in July in the All-Ireland football championship before last Sunday, and Kerry won that one 0-5 to 0-2 in the 1904 All-Ireland football final, played on July 1, 1906.
When I found that out I knew Dublin hadnāt a prayer.
Wasnāt an all Ireland final. KK were awarded the title when Limerick didnāt fulfill the fixture. They were already champions when they played the exhibition match in July. I read about this before some book by Raymond Smith that escapes me

Great story.
There was a similar one about a man who befriended a brown bear. Eventually the bear ate him.

Grizzly Man. The last few moments footage is bizarre. He trying to give out to the bear as it mauls him. Mad shit.
