Recap

Galway ended an agonizing sequence of two All-Ireland Final defeats in two years by defeating Kilkenny 1-12 to 0-9 in a tense and low-scoring All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship (SHC) Final at Croke Park on 6th of September 1987. [Reference: 23]

The All-Ireland Finals series had begun in Casement Park, Antrim where London, the British Provincial Champions and All-Ireland Senior Hurling B Champions had put up a brave fight against the Ulster representatives, who had no opposition in the Championship prior to meeting the exiles. Antrim eventually prevailed 3-14 to 1-15 [Reference: 20].

Likewise, Galway, with no opposition at this level in Connacht, were playing their first game of the Championship when they defeated surprise Munster Champions Tipperary in the Semi-Finals by 3-20 to 2-17 [Reference: 21]. Antrim were not the pushover that was expected against Kilkenny in the Semi-Finals in what was turning out to be an entertaining and highly competitive Championship [Reference: 22]. Kilkenny eventually saw off the gallant Ulster county 2-18 to 2-11, before succumbing to the Tribesmen in the All-Ireland Final. [Reference: 22-23]

About the GAA All-Ireland SHC Finals 1987

The 1987 GAA All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship (SHC) Finals featured the Provincial Champions of Leinster (Kilkenny) and Munster (Tipperary) as well as Galway (the sole Connacht representatives at this level); and in a Quarter-Final Qualifying game Antrim (the sole Ulster representatives at this level) versus London (the winners of the GAA All-Ireland Senior Hurling B Championship) in a single elimination (knockout) Championship for the Liam McCarthy Cup. The SHC was at the time, and still is, the highest level Hurling Inter-County Competition in Ireland. [References: 19-23]

Recap

Tipperary won the Munster GAA Senior Hurling Championship (SHC) for the first times in 16 years in 1987, after coming out on fire in Extra Time versus Cork in the Munster SHC Final Replay to win by nine points [References: 13, 19]. Tipperary had run a marathon to win the Munster Championship by the standards of the day in 1987, having to first defeat Kerry in Round 1, before needing a replay against both Clare (in the Semi-Finals) and Cork in the Final [References: 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 19] . After Clare almost pulled of the shock of the Munster Championship at Killarney, the Premier County “went on the rampage” in the Replay, outscoring Clare by 4-17 to 0-8 [References: 8, 10].

In other matches the Deise had also come close to causing a shock in the First Round, losing 1-14 to 2-15 to Limerick [References: 7], who were defeated by Cork in another Semi-Final Replay [References: 9, 11]. After Tipp’s momentous victory they went forward to meet Galway, the Connacht representatives in the All-Ireland Semi-Finals [References: 12-13]

ABOUT THE Munster GAA SHC SENIOR HURLING CHAMPIONSHIP 1987

RECAP All-Ireland SHC B Home Championship

Carlow defeated Down by a single point in the GAA All-Ireland Senior Hurling B Home Championship Final at Trim on 21st June 1987 and would go on to take on London for the All-Ireland Senior Hurling B Championship and the right to play Antrim in the GAA All-Ireland Senior Championship. [References: 8]

The SHC B Home Championship had started with a preliminary game in Newbridge in early May where Meath easily defeated host Kildare by 2-13 to 0-6 [References: 1]. The First Round games later on in May were hit by the withdrawal of Mayo, who with only 45-50 Hurling players in the county and a large amount of injuries could not take the pitch at Aughrim versus Wicklow who received a walkover to meet Carlow in the Semi-Finals [References: 2] . Carlow had knocked out Meath by five points in Round 1, winning by 3-17 to 4-9, in a high-scoring encounter [References: 3-5]. The other Semi-Final was to be contested between Roscommon, who had little trouble defeating Armagh; and Down, who had a lucky escape against Derry, needing a replay after a last minute equaliser against the Oak Leaf county in the first match [References: 4-5].

The Semi-Finals saw Down step up against Roscommon, winning 2-19 to 1-5, while Carlow were made to work against Wicklow, prevailing 1-13 to 0-12 [References: 6-7] . The Home Final, played in Trim, saw Carlow again winning narrowly, this time by just a point as they triumphed by 1-15 to 1-14 versus Down, and would go on to meet British Provincial Champions London in the All-Ireland SHC B Final. [References: 8]

RECAP British Provincial SHC B Final

London were made to fight hard to defeat Hertfordshire by just two points at the Hertfordshire home in Watford in the GAA British Provincial SHC B Senior Hurling Championship on 24th May 1987. With the victory London went on to meet Carlow, the All-Ireland SHC B Home Champions, in the All-Ireland SHC B Senior Hurling B Championship decider for a shot at playing Antrim in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Quarter-Finals. [Reference: 8-9]

RECAP SHC B Final (British SHC B Champions v Home SHC B Champions)

British Provincial Hurling Champions London travelled to Carlow for the GAA All-Ireland Senior Hurling B Championship Final where they triumphed 0-20 to 1-15 against the hosts and Home Final Champions, Carlow, and thus joined the exclusive club of GAA Senior Hurling Championship Counties as their reward was to meet Antrim in the SHC Quarter-Finals. [References: 1-2]

Recap

Carlow defeated Down by a single point in the GAA All-Ireland Senior Hurling B Home Championship Final at Trim on 21st June 1987 and would go on to take on London for the All-Ireland Senior Hurling B Championship and the right to play Antrim in the GAA All-Ireland Senior Championship. [References: 8]

The SHC B Home Championship had started with a preliminary game in Newbridge in early May where Meath easily defeated host Kildare by 2-13 to 0-6 [References: 1]. The First Round games later on in May were hit by the withdrawal of Mayo, who with only 45-50 Hurling players in the county and a large amount of injuries could not take the pitch at Aughrim versus Wicklow who received a walkover to meet Carlow in the Semi-Finals [References: 2] . Carlow had knocked out Meath by five points in Round 1, winning by 3-17 to 4-9, in a high-scoring encounter [References: 3-5]. The other Semi-Final was to be contested between Roscommon, who had little trouble defeating Armagh; and Down, who had a lucky escape against Derry, needing a replay after a last minute equaliser against the Oak Leaf county in the first match [References: 4-5].

The Semi-Finals saw Down step up against Roscommon, winning 2-19 to 1-5, while Carlow were made to work against Wicklow, prevailing 1-13 to 0-12 [References: 6-7] . The Home Final, played in Trim, saw Carlow again winning narrowly, this time by just a point as they triumphed by 1-15 to 1-14 versus Down, and would go on to meet British Provincial Champions London in the All-Ireland SHC B Final. [References: 8]

About Hurling

Hurling is an ancient Gaelic Irish Sport, and one of the four Charter GAA Sports of 1884. It is played with a Hurl or Hurley (stick) and a sliotar (ball) and is one of the fastest team sports in the world. It is 15-a-side and Goals (worth 3 points) are scored as well as points (over the bar – worth one point). It is organised on a Club and County basis like most GAA Sports and has County, Provncial and All-Ireland Championships. Within both Club and County Championships there is the Hurling League (usually run over winter) and the Hurling Championship (usually run over summer). There are about 12 Top Level (Major or Premier League in American, English amd Scottish Soccer terms) Counties that play for the Liam McCarthy Cup, as well as the Joe McDonagh Cup (Championship) Christy Ring Cup (League 1), and Nicky Rackard (League 2) and Lory Meaghar Cups (National). Outside of Ireland there are 14 Counties that also play Gaelic Football and sometimes Hurling, with London, Warwickshire and Lancashire taking part in the lower levels of the All-Ireland Championships.

Report

Meath won the GAA Hurling Christy Ring Cup (Division 2 All Ireland) in 2016, by a point over Antrim after a replay. They had earlier beaten Wicklow, London and Kildare. In all, eight counties were eligible for the Christy Ring Cup, Meath. Kildare and Wicklow (Leinster), Antrim, Derry, Down (Ulster), Roscommon (Connacht) and London (Britain). Meath fell 1-7 to 0-1 behind after only 19 minutes, but a dramatic late comeback, spearheaded by substitute Sean Quigley, who only came on in the 64th minute, saw Meath claim a first ever Christy Ring Cup by a point (2-18 to 1-20), or so it seemed, as the score was later shown to be erroneuous, and aReplay needed, this time Meath winning by a point (4-21 to 5-17). Stephen Clynch hit the last-minute point from a free in extra-time in the replay, in what turned out to be a nine-goal thriller.
