Will Galway ever win a Championship game in Croke Park?

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


When Galway lifted Sam Maguire in 2001. It was their second All Ireland in 4 years and looked like the start of a golden era. They won an u21 All Ireland in 2002 and looked like they would dominate football for years, However since tat 2001 victory over Meath, remarkably Galway have never won a championship game in Croke Park. They have played 10 times lost 9 and drawn once. They have scored 9-119(143) but let in 14-158(200) in those 10 games. In those 10 games they have played Kerry 3 times and lost heavily . They scored 4-38(50) and conceded 4-58(70)in 3 games. Will Galway ever win a championship game in Croke Park again??

Was one of those games not at a provincial ground? The Donegal replay?

Theyve the favs for the hurling and up to D1 football and U21 finalists. Theyre about the last county id be feeling sorry for at the moment

Will Galway ever win a Championship game in Croke Park? The title of your topic.

Galway won seven All-Irelands in Croke Park in 1925, 1934, 1938, 1956, 1964, 1965 & 1966. Were they not Championship games?

Or are you one of these who thinks that Gaelic games started in the 21st century?

Don't believe anyone was foolish enough to suggest or think that Galway would dominate football for years back then. Mind you, when they beat the Dubs in Portlaoise in 2002 to win the U21 I sure didn't think we'd be waiting 15 years for a senior win in Croke Park. I remember that day a young Dublin gurrier, I mean fan, went onto the pitch at half-time, sauntered to the halfway line, dropped his togs and mooned Bertie Ahern. Those were the days.

Yes they will. As daft as the Facebook "Mayo will never win an All Ireland" page. Which ironically was setup by a Galway man

will Cork ever win Munster again? yes they will, in time in the new fancy Pairc Ui Chaoimh. Also, Galway are on the way back regardless of what goes down this afternoon, they were the last traditional county to switch to the new version of gaelic. Only one county will lift Sam and I believe they have blue jerseys. Up the Rebels.
