Will always remember the Leitrim crowd in Croke Park for the semi final against Dublin. Some great craic from the Leitrim fans, telling the jokes about how one man was left back in Carrick to mind the town while the rest of them went to the match. Had Leitrim won that day there would have been no work done in that county for a while I'd say NavyNBlue (Dublin) - Posts: 1357 - 24/07/2014 10:56:10 1625148 Link 0 |
I'll never forget the '94 Leitrim team. The celebrations after the Connacht final spilled over into West Cavan. There were thousands of Cavan supporters at the semi-final and the banter before the game was something else. That team should have won more than it did. I doubt if Declan Darcy will enjoy his present Dublin success any more than he did when he lined out with Leitrim that year. It was one of the fairy tales of football coming shortly after Clare had beaten Kerry in the Munster final in '92. Every weaker county believed that they had a chance after that. You had a series of near misses - a great Limerick team could have won 2 Munsters, Tipperary almost did it as well; Fermanagh came within a kick of a ball of the All-Ireland Final of 2004; Sligo won several Connacht titles; and there were some great displays in the provincial championships as well - I just can't remember them all right now. No matter - here's to the men of '94. RoyalBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 198 - 24/07/2014 11:48:06 1625190 Link 0 |
I was there myself that day. Magical time. The noise from those air-horns when a score went over was deafening! I had one myself in the din but I think she was running empty just after half time. Grey_Wolf (Leitrim) - Posts: 235 - 24/07/2014 11:51:27 1625195 Link 0 |
