Need help finding 1957 all Ireland recording (louth)

chem

Hi all,

I need help in finding a video or audio recording of the Louth v Cork all Ireland final, from 1957. A man I know who was on the Louth team, would love to hear or see the match again. It would mean the world to him.

I have tried the net but cant find anything.

It would be great if someone could put me on the right track, and it would make an old mans day, for him to relive one of his greatest days.

Thanks all.

Have you tried contacting RTE? They may be able to point you in the right direction.

As my esteemed colleague has said, RTÉ would most likely be the best place to look, they have an archive centre that maybe able to help you

The GAA have released a dvd during the week of the All Irelands between 1947 and 1959 i think there is about 10 minutes coverage of each final on the dvd if that helps.

Their is one in the family here and I will ask about to see who has it, I think it was changed to colour as well..

Also I think British Pathe covered some All Irelands, you could be lucky and that could of been one of them.

Cant track it down, but Im sure if you call into Frank Lynch's office in Dundalk he will sort you out with one.
