What is the lowest scoring game people can remember in either inter- county or club games.? Has there ever been a game that finished with 0 scores?

The problem was they met in the Junior East Limerick final that year too and that finished something like 1-4 to 1-2 to Dromkeen-Kilkeely. in the county semi final Pallas got stuck in from the off and it was 0-1 each with 5 minutes to go. Then Mikey G popped the winner from the 21. By 1999 he had pointed it from 50 yards out, by 2004 it was from half way and if you go to Kilteely now his point came from his own 21.

It's the opposite side of the county from me, but given I've relations there I know how tough battles can be back there. The night they beat Mungret in the county final (1-9 to 2-5) they made a video in the local pub there where every player on the panel was interviewed. Tis the shtuff of legend I tell ya.

I was at a club match in Dumbarton (scotland) which finsished 1-2 to 0-3. Strong wind and poor football a bad combination.

Cork Intermediate football final replayt of 2000 Youghal 1-1 Nemo Rangers 0-3. Game played in atrocious conditions in November with the last score apparently being scored in the 11th minute of the game ;-)

Also in 1987 I think it was Carbery Rangers beating Valley Rovers in a junior county football championship match 0-3 to 0-2, despite not scoring until ten minutes from time ;-)

I remember Meath were beaten in a National League match 0-6 to 0-3 a few years back......I am not 100% sure who they were playing but I think it was Cork in a semi-final.

They tried to introduce Hurling to My secondary School in Castlebar which had a Very good Gaelic football Scool, Alan Dillon being one of the previous students their. We played our First match against Lacken Vocational Scool who were equally as woeful as us. The final score was my school 1-1 lacken 1 point, it was the most woeful game played in Irish history i'd say. The biggest cheer of the day was when one of the lads managed to hit the Sliotar a puck out of his hands, surfice to say the Hurling experiment was abandoned in my school after that

Right you are Lofty, Salthill 0-7 vs 0-6 St. Gall's... Never forget it... Great physical match though and you wouldn't have thought it was so low scoring..

I am glad to see that in Mayo they give things a chance and live on the basis that if at first you don't succeed!!!

A Galway County football final a few years ago finished Corofin 1-3 Killanin 0-3 - atrocious weather conditions to blame.
The Connacht minor final of 1985 ended Mayo 0-6 Galway 1-1. It was a truly dire game even though the conditions were fine. Remarkably, Mayo went on to win the all-Ireland.
The Connacht senior final of 1993 finished Mayo 1-5 Roscommon 0-7 in what was hands-down the worst game of inter-county football I've ever had the misfortune to attend. I've seen Junior B club games of higher quality. Jack O'Shea was the new Mayo manager after the players had got Brian McDonald sacked from the year before. They went on to lose to Cork by 5-15 to 0-10 on the blackest day in Connacht football history (Galway lost the minor game by 4-11 to 0-3, also to Cork).
In hurling, I was at a league game in the eighties on a bitterly cold November afternoon in Pearse Stadium that ended Galway 0-8 Kilkenny 1-5. Despite the low scoring, it was a cracking game played with fierce intensity.

The Carlow SFC final in 2003 was the lowest one i've seen live.
O'Hanrahans and Old Leighlin drew 4 pts each in a horrible game.
