That was my first time at an all Ireland final, with my Dad, I remember it so we’ll still to this day, it also cemented my love for Gaelic football, which I began playing at that time& had the pleasure of playing & winning on the hallowed ground two years later with Drimnagh Castle in 1966, wonderful memories, but I can’t help thinking of how the modern game is so much quicker, I don’t think any of the past teams would live with the modern game today. Great video thanks for sharing
5;14 Noel Tierney catches.What was the free for? Galway were denied a penalty towards the end. The ref was from Wicklow and probably knew some of the Dubs. This game should have been the start of a four in a row for the westerners.
I met a girl in Lancaster who told me that her great grandfather was hated in Galway. She explained that he was a referee at some football final in Dublin and refused a penalty to Galway. She didn’t know dates or any other details but he used to tell his family not to mention his name in Galway or theyd be kicked out. She told me his name, Eamon Moules, from Wicklow, I did a bit of research and found this match. God bless her she was telling the truth
Galway should have won that game robbed if you ask me that sideline kick in the square and Dublin inside and nearly the full way in the goal batted it in very fortunate to get away with the win in that game Galway would have won and dublin got a soft free in that game as well

This was just the beginning of great things for that magnificent Galway team. Inexperience probably cost them that day.

The referee's mother and father were from Dublin. LOL
