Note: League split after one Round-Robin of 9 matches into two Groups of 5 (A & B) based on position with a further round-robin with records carried forward.

Report

Galician Gaelic Football started in 2010, when efforts were made through social media and posters to start a few clubs, with Fillos de Breogan the first. Teams entered the Iberian Championship but, soon, enough exponential growth among villages led to creation of the Galician Gaelic Football League in 2013.

Estrelos de Velmelha (Red Stars) won the first two Championships in 2013-14 and 2014-15. Irmandinhos would win the title on points difference from Fillos de Breogan in 2016-17 and in 2017-18 would win again with a perfect 13-0 win-loss record.

Quarter-Final – Corofin 3-8 Fulham Irish 1-4

Fulham Irish raced out to an early lead, scoring a goal from Marty Hughes, and a point in the first four minutes, but Corofin replied with two goals in quick succession from Jason Leonard and Colin Brady to stamp their authority on the match. Ian Burke added another goal for the Galway side as they went into the half-time break leading by 3-3 to 1-3. There were less scores in the second half as both Corofin and the Londoners built up their wides tallies, however the lack of competitive mactches meant Fulham’s early hopes of a surprise win were dealt a fatal blow. Corofin won by 10 points in the end, 3-8 to 1-4 to book a semi-final spot against Moorefield.

GAA Poc Fada Hurling All-Ireland Championships 1989 [Reference: 2]

Report

Cork’s Ger Cunningham picked up his sixth All-Ireland GAA Poc Fada Hurling Championshop in 1989, but he was pushed all the way on the downhill part of the course by Galway’s Michael Shaughnessy, who surprisingly picked up on the downhill side and finished equal with Cunningham on 57 Pocs. In the event of a tie the distance past the finish line of the Final poc decides the Champion, and in this case it was Cunningham who won, managing a distance of 18 metres to Shaughnessy’s 3 metres. [Reference: 2]

About GAA Poc Fada

An Poc Fada – ‘the Long Puck’ is a Gaelic Game where players use a Hurley to hit a Sliotar (ball) up the side of a mountain and down the other side in as few pucks or shots as possible.

The sport would have a similar origin to the Scottish Game of Golf. It is mentioned in the myths and legends of Ireland, when Setanta took his Hurley / Hurl and hit his Sliotar all the way from Co Louth to Co. Armagh in one go. The All-Ireland Poc Fada Championships have taken place in the Cooley Mountains in Co. Louth since 1961 in commemoration of the legendary feat.
