melonstar

i have three of the answers but not sure of the railway cup one
fingers crossed ill find the answer. tough questions though

david78

I see Melonstar that you have 3 of the answers. That's very good going. Im stuck with the Railway cup question as well.

Just wondering could you give me a hand on the 4th question also. Do you have a famous cork player as your answer as I can't find a mention in his records to say he won a Junior title but he won everything else or is the answer someone else.
It would be great if you can help me out I dont mind trading some answers with you if you are stuck with any as Im sure there will be more difficult questions to come when the next 8 questions are revealed. As they say 2 minds work better than 1. The prizes are well worth winning.

Good luck
David

melonstar

smashey

Did you never hear of sharing?

Yavvy

ha ! sharing indeed .. thats the talk of a midfielder or defender. Im a corner forward. Never pass. Never Share. its a sign of weakness.

melonstar

ill share my answers when someone gives me the answer to the railway cup question from last night

david78

Thanks Melonstar for yesterdays answer Tony Davis to Q4. I had a different Cork player in mind but I couldnt find a Junior title win for him.

Q1 I think is Mick Gill, I presume thats who you were referring to. I can't find a more recent winner either of hurling titles with different counties.

I must look into what you said about Roscommon link to Railway Cup question.

Best of Luck

melonstar

tonights questions were handy enough

MementoMori

On Thursday we'll announce four finalists picked from those who get all, or the most, questions right and bring them back on-air on Friday for a knock-out style final.

Unless you have a pretty good knowledge of GAA anyway, there's not much point in researching the answers unless you are willing to go on the radio and be shown up a bit.

mechanic11

Don't think that last won is right - is it not Tony Davis?

On the three cork men - ring 8, lynch 6 and cummins 6 is 20 in total - am I mising one

culabula88

Martin o Doherty
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_O'Doherty

I think one of the milleunium team won a club all ireland as well.. was this one counted in the 21?

Did Tony Davis win a club all ireland - was it with nemo?

dxhound2005

I listened to the final. Dessie never said how many questions the people who qualified answered correctly or if anyone got them all just said they were picked at random. He had put one quesion on the web which had been asked on the radio as "which footballer" as "which player" resulting in 2 possible correct answers so they had to have 2 sets of 4 finalists. Jimmy's one about Cork players with 21 All Ireland's included a man born in Cork who won 7 All Irelands with Kerry, wonder if anyone got that one right. The link has not been updated with the answers or the names of the second 4 qualifiers.

Man from Carlow and another from Kildare got the prizes, good luck to them. I noticed that not one of the 8 qualifiers came from north of a line from Dublin to Galway.

keeperg12

the 3 cork men on the team of the millenium with 21 all ireland medals are
jack lynch 6
Christy ring 8
Dan o'keefe 7 (was born in fermoy co.cork. won 78 all irelands in goal for kerry)
