    I'll start the ball rolling with a fairly easy one, whoever answers can give the next one. Needless to say, don't google if you don't know.

    Which player has won five consecutive All-Star awards in five different positions?

    Tommy Walsh is correct. Now for a bonus point...

    Name the only father/son to have won All-Stars in Hurling.

    Cork have at least three dual All Star winners – Jimmy Barry Murphy, Brian Murphy and Ray Cummins. Offaly’s Liam Currams also won hurling and football All Stars.

    Correct, one of my uncles was at the Leinster Final in 1961 and he told me about it. It seems to be a theme of Dublin's Hurling history what happened in the AI final. They have lost 14 AI finals and won only 6.

    Knew it was 2004 when Dublin last didn't win Leinster, but couldn't remember the team who we played. A quick check over a programme from that year tells me it was versus London in round 1 of the qualifiers on the 12th June.

    You are correct, best remembered for a big win and Scott Doran trying to kill Paddy Christie by ramming him into the wall near the clubhouse.

    Answer I had was Brian Greene who played Munster Hurling with Waterford, Ulster hurling with New York and Connaught football with New York. Didnt know about Comerford, did he play senior championship with The Exiles in both codes? They must have been really hard up to get a Killkenny man to play football for them:P
