take city out of the mix and I’d watch a GAA game over a premier league game any day of the week.

Could have sworn it was hurling, but record seems to show you are right.
Gaelic footy? Was in about 1965. Maybe a hurling semi. Time plays tricks with the memory. Could be Munster footy final, Kerry won it all thru 60s.
I remember the Guiness!
Even I am not quite old enough for 1891 final.

I imagine it's the same in many small towns across Ireland but I live not far from a place called Kinvara and have seen convoys drive through the village with car horns blaring.....and thats when the kids win!
My dad, a Mayo man, had a lifetime (almost) of hurt following his team from over here.
The Sunday afternoons hearing him listening to the game and the inevitable disappointment. The shouts of ‘come on yee whores!’ on a Sunday afternoon used to reverberate around Hulme.
And it even got a mention at his funeral!

Lived in Cork for a time, got into hurling quite a bit, class game. It was the 2013 final + replays, not seen such a buzz around a town even with big City matches.

“The Curse” (or “The Excuse” depending on who you talk to!)
Mayo out to banish All-Ireland 'curse' in bid for holy grail
Victory over six-in-row chasing Dublin in Sunday's All-Ireland decider would end Mayo's agonising 69-year wait for the biggest prize in GAA.
