I have to admit it.... I let a couple of tears go in 2002 when we became Leinster Champions again after a very testing 7yr wait.

I couldnt help myself... it was such a great game to boot and I got caught up in it all...

After we lost to Dublin in 1995, I was sure this was going to be the one, alas no! And again in 2003, when Peter the great lifted Sam I dont think there was a dry eye in the house.

I cry after matches on a regular basis, only championship though. I'm not a crier, only when it's to do with GAA. In 2007 I cried when we beat Tyrone. I cried for a week when Limerick beat us in 2008. I cried when Galway beat us in 2001 (I was only 6 and everyone else seemed so upset). I cried again this year when we beat Mayo.

I'm a strange person really... Not many 14 year old girls around who only cry at sporting events.

Brendtheredhand,

I shed a few tears in 2003 myself when a 20 stone Tyrone supporter jumped on my foot trying to get onto the pitch !!

A few times.
Won an u-16 championship in 1998 a junior in 2004. Got quite emotional on both occasions. Won several leagues but never shed a tear after them.
When Leitrim won the Connacht champ in 1994.
Also when Sligo Rovers won the cup in 1994.

I cried for different reasons after the UEFA cup final of 2003 and after the FAI cup final last year and when Ireland lost on penalties to Spain in 2002.

in fairness i think that one hurt more then the kerry defeat last year , i remember getting to croker early , standing on the hill at about 3 o clock , with the floodlights on , i remember dublin couldnt catch a ball in the warm up and thought , good god this game will either be very scrappy full of mistakes , or it will be an amazin game of ball from both counties in terrible weather , i remember thinking too that i may never ever experience a championship game under lights that throws in at 4 .. i was absolutely soaked , we got absolutely butchered , fair play to tyrone but the fact we bottled it so bad really hurt , it was the first time i experienced such humiliation , i remember leavin croker that day and the sun came out and i just thought whoever is up there is havin a right feckin laugh at me right now ..
