Your favourite sporting moment of 2015

That was the game of the year in GAA i think. It was a fine game but normally you’d expect numerous classics in a calendar year. I think we had one.

The year Clare won the All-Ireland in 2013 was incredible for classic matches. It was a very exciting year for hurling. Clare-Limerick-Cork-Dublin the semi-finalists. All seems a distant memory now.

Galway v Tipp last 10 minutes. Particularly Cannings pass to Maloney.

It was sublime. One of the great images of the year is Maher’s hurl flying through the air in desperation.

Young Gary Ryan winning his schools game ( A) county final stood out for me.

St James’ winning the Wexford SFC just one year after being promoted still seems surreal thinking about it.

Nothing else even comes close to it for me.

I’m not messing but we’re badly missing a player of Rory Woods’ calibre. I arm-wrestled him once upon a time. I lost. A gentleman. Played Railway Cup football and hurling, would you believe.

We’ll not follow it up this year pal. :confused:

The noise and atmosphere was ferocious. It had the feel of an all-ireland about it (unfortunately). What sticks out most was the graciousness of the Tipp fans in defeat. It was a cracker of a game.

Galway tipp for me as a game. As a half, the first half of the AIF.
As a moment, Jason flynns point in the AIF.
Watching St. Helens beat Wigan on a fine evening in a rocking stadium with one of my great pals was also a highlight.

Anytime you beat Tipp in knock out championship, which for us is an AI QF or SF, is as good as an AI. We own the fuckers now until we next play them. Two hurling counties playing hurling as it was intended though, no Steroid rugby hurling crap.
Gaillimh Abu!

Limerick fans are displaying a wonderful trait of enjoying other’s shortcomings more than enjoying their own sporting highs.

We were robbed.

Cliche but if Joe Canning scored that point we’d still be talking about it. It could actually be the best point I’ve ever seen

So what’s new?

Michael Fennelly putting Andy Smith in his place at the start of the 2nd half of the AIF, set the tone for the demolition that was to follow

Mine too. Exhilarating stuff!

Still rattled.

Cannings goal was something special though.
