Just thought I'd raise this topic after reading the report on the Offaly vs D.I.T Walsh shield game.. I am aware that the game went to extra-time but even so the 16 point return from Joe Bergin was nothing short of sensational with 7 points coming from play.. This must surely be up there with the all time highest tally in a single game!

Sounds impressive to me. Is he a hurler or a footballer?

I can remember Nicky English scoring 2-12 in an All Ireland Final against Antrim. Hard to beat that feat I reckon.

Mick O' Dwyer once scored 2-11 in a league match in the late 60s...........against Tipperary I think.

Nothing beats Matt Connor's 2-9 against Kerry in the 1980 All-Ireland Semi-Final though, made all the greater as it was against the greatest team of all time..............what a player, makes me want to go on YouTube and admire his skills.

Declan D'Arcy scored 2-13 for Leitrim against London back in 1997 if my memory serves me right - can't be too many footballers out there who have achieved that regardless of the opposition's standard.

Sure it's a bad day at the office for a free-taking hurler that doesn't score close to that.

Galway fans will know if this is true or not. Did Joe Canning not get close to 0-20 in a hurling match for LIT one time?

Nicky Horan scored 2-15 for the meath hurlers against Kildare in 2002

I assume that is Joe Bergin the Offaly hurler not the Galway footballer? I know - that's a bad joke!

ya joe canning has come up with some huge totals.he got 2-12 against cork in his 3rd game at senior level and 1-16 in fitz cup final 2008.
king henry has scored 2-11 a few times down through the years and eoin kelly of tipp and waterford have both beaten that total.

apparently marty clarke was supposed to have scored something like 18 points in a schools match one time

Highest i can think of I maybe was it 2002/2003 didn't Rory Gallagher from Fermanagh score something like 3-8 or 3-9 against Monaghan, in an Ulster champ game. Ian Ryan from Limerick got 3-7 v Meath in that mad game about 3 or 4 years ago in qualifiers too.

In hurling, I'd say Pat Horgans 3-11 v Laois in last years qualifiers has to be well up there. There was 1 goals scored so it was a good day to break some records!

All my ones are from championship. There cud well be others who scored more in Div 4 league games v Kilkenny that prob hold record.

Nicky Rackard scored 7-7 against Antrim in an All Ireland semi final back in the 50s.
But in modern times, it's Nicky Horan's 2-15 against Kildare.

I think I heard that Marty Clarke got something like 3-20 at an under fourteen match when he was younger.Thats pretty ridiculous really.

Scored 6-9 in a game for the School myself years ago playing Midfield. Was one of the Ulster Colleges competitions in the early rounds.

Dotsy O'Callaghan scored 3 - 10 in a Dublin club game. Only mention that to remind the person who was allegedly 'marking him' that day :-)

Are these mentions of scores in underage/schools games serious?
