Notable player achievements in GAA

Fine haul alright OP, but has Galvin actually won a Munster snr Club title? i thought divisional teams were excluded from the Munsters.

Also, Kerry manager Eamonn fitzmaurice was Full forward for Finuge and scored 2 points

Oisín McConville

I also believe Dermot Earley (Roscommon) was the only player to represent his county in Minor, U21, Junior and Senior in the same year - 1966 when Ros won the All-Ireland U21.

Well not according to this post:

Championship points from play

1. Eddie Keher - 135
2. John Mullane - 128
3. Henry Shefflin - 123

I'm sure that stat is a couple of years old.

Shefflin is definitely top from play now, Mullane is second now I think ahead of Keher. I know Mullane has hit something like 140 since '04 so the above stat would be wrong.

I think Mullane is in the 150's from play with Shefflin in the 160's, though I'm not exactly 100% sure about the actual number.

I think Dessie Dolans achievements are admirable because if you had pointed him out when he was a young lad in Garrycastle you wouldn't think he'd achieve all he has:
1. Westmeath and Garrycastle were not very successful
2. He was and still is not that big (although he is very strong for his size)
We all know there is no way Westmeath/Garrycastle would have achieved all they did without him.

6 Westmeath Senior Football Championships (2001, 2002, 2004, 2009, 2010, 2011)
5 Westmeath Division 1 Leagues (2001, 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009)
3 National Football League Division 2s (2001, 2003, 2008)
2 Leinster Under-21 Football Championships (1999, 2000)
1 Leinster Senior Football Championship (2004)
1 All-Ireland Under 21 Football Championship (1999)
1 All Star (2004)
1 Leinster Senior Club Football Championship (2011)
1 Freshers All Ireland NUIG (1998 - 99 Class)

Possibly Dolan played for Ireland in international rules while still being a Fresher which is a pretty rare achievement. Think he was 19 at the time.

Jimmy Murray was the first player to captain his county (Roscommon) to two All-Ireland titles in successive years.

Jack Lynch is the only player to win Senior All-Ireland titles at inter-county level for 5 years in a row (4 hurling, 1 football)

Oisin Mc Conville

County
1 AI
7 Ulster Championships
1 NFL
2 All Stars

Schools
Every schools medal except McRory and Hogan. So that is D'Alton, Cor na nOg and Rannfast.

Club
Senior
16 county medals
10 Ulsters
6 All Irelands and hopefully 1 more to come

I don't know how many leagues we won, I think I have 4 so he has at least that and a few more. If you want to throw in under age we won everything from u12 to minor league and championship so he has all those as well as 4 county u21s.

In total at senior level he has 40 championship medals, club and county. I'd say very few will beat that.

Graham Reilly top scorer from play in last years championship playing midfield.. ahead of brogan, gooch and the likes. i dont think it was ever done before

This goes under the radar quite a bit.
