    Hurling : Cork v Tipp 1984 Munster hurling final or either the 1987 draw or replay. Or Cork v Waterford in 2003 or 2004 or 2006 AI semi final. So many classics down the years in hurling, most of them between Munster teams.

    Football: Down v Derry 1994

    Cavan 3-13
    Down 2-12

    Breffni Park in 2004.

    Cavan were 8 points down at one stage after Benny Coulter had scored two first half goals. Then Dermot McCabe entered the fray at half time....

    In terms of serious open football and attacking play, look no further than Galway Cork minor semi 2010. It's on YouTube iirc. Absolute cracker, Galway threw it away though..

    Yeah, great game, eight goals in it, unreal comeback by Cork to win it but they weren't playing a cynical team. They did in the final though where they threatened a similar comeback but the Tyrone youngfellas all started dropping like flies and rolling around with 'cramp' to waste time. Another reason why I hope Mayo do the double on Sunday.

    The '87 replay was the first game my Dad took me too and he wonders why I'm addicted to the game ever since, what an introduction to intercounty hurling and a great day in Killarney :D

    The second of the 3 games between Kildare and Meath in the Leinster semi final in 1997. The 1st game and both replays were great games but the 2nd game in particular was EPIC!

    Best Limerick games I've been to in hurling and football as follows:

    Hurling Limerick V Waterford 2007 all Ireland semi final. Scored 5 goals and Waterford still nearly beat us. Andrew OShaughnessy with an absolute rocket of penalty to win it and Donie Dozer Ryan scoring 2 goals on instinct to send us to a final for the first time in 11 years. Was a great day for us.

    Football: Limerick V Wexford qualifiers round 4 2011. Think the final score was 1 18 to 1 17. Was great to be there to see the lads finally get to Croke park considering not many Limerick people get behind the footballers but the heart breaking narrow defeats to Cork and Kerry the previous few years were forgotten for a few minutes at least. John Galvin did his cruciate at the start of the year but was still on the sideline as a maor uisce. Down to 14 men but got a late goal and a controversial point to win it. For excitement alone it was a brilliant game.

    Best hurling game watched would have to be the Cork v Waterford Munster final in 2004 (I think). Game was how hurling should be played. A great day for Waterford.

    Hurling
    Offaly Limerick 1994, best finish to a game I've ever seen.

    Football, I'm too biased to answer. I did like the old meath Cork games.

    Mayo vs Tyrone All Ireland Minor Football Final 2013.

    Mayo vs Tyrone All Ireland Minor Football Final 2013.

    Serious? I thought it was an awful game. Late Tyrone goal flattered them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,594 ✭✭✭eigrod


    For atmosphere and colour, Cork v Dublin replay in 1983. Unreal.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,211 ✭✭✭gaffer91


    I really enjoyed the 2008 semi final replay of Kerry v Cork in 2008 where Cork pegged back a massive Kerry lead but Kerry kicked on at the end with a goal by Gooch. Also really enjoyed the 2007 semi final defeat of Dublin. Best game I've been at where Kerry lost would be the 2008 final v Tyrone. Special mention as well to the Donegal Kildare 2011 quarter-final which I had the good fortune to be at.

    Hurling- probably the 2007 semi final where Limerick beat Waterford.
