Just watched this again after being down in the Pairc yesterday for the Teddy Mac tribute games. Savage achievement by Cork and of course by the late great Teddy boy Mc Carthy. Gone, but never forgotten !!! 🙏🙏🙏
I was a little too young to enjoy either properly, started going to Cork games in 1991, defeats in Killarney and Thurles and a decade of hurt mostly :(
@Aidan Holland If Dublin did it we'd never hear the end of it! Only one county has done the double since 1900, and that was Cork and Cork only. Sadly we haven't had much success in both senior codes since 1990. Four senior all Irelands in the last thirty or so years, that's a very poor return for a county of our history, heritage, size and playing numbers. We made history in 1990 though. No one can ever take that away from us. A Galway or a Dublin may equal it one day, but they'll never better our 1990 double. They won't have two all Ireland winners from both panels either. Teddy McCarthys place in history is secured forever.
I agree. And I for one wouldn't begrudge Galway one bit, if they do achieve it. In the meantime, we remember the great Teddy Mac, and his amazing achievement in 1990 !!!

God rest Teddy Boy x
The greatest achievement of any county in the history of the GAA.

the wests awake .. galway in 1980 - but mt god the cork boys were the best to loose to ...
Great memories 🏆🏆🇦🇹👍
Should have been 2 cork player's with double all Ireland, Denis Walsh, Teddy mac
cork won hurling all ireland.....OMG Never knew that
Tou dont have cork vs kilkenny 2019 do you?
Mayos attitude was cork lost 2 allirelands in row they deserved to win 1
Don't be Surprised if Galway could do the double in next 10 years. Just like Cork did in 1990.
They're by far the best-placed county to do it.

Very unlikely. Galway would need to concentrate on winning just one.
