Midweek Mind-Bogglers
Two for ye:
Maybe this is actually well known, but it’s the first I’ve ever heard of it…a bit of bizarrely impressive trivia that I can’t wait to see what kind of names are thrown out for it… feel free to drop yer shouts…
1. Can you name the only manager to take charge of senior inter-county football teams in each of Ireland’s four provinces?
And a club one that I think I’m fairly accurate on after a fair bit of research but of course will stand open to correction on:
2. Two clubs faced off in Croke Park on St. Patricks Day in one of the most geographically unique All-Ireland Senior Club Finals ever (Football or Hurling). Even though not only did they come from two different counties, but two different provinces, their club pitches are separated by just 24km, or roughly a 20 minute drive from gate to gate - believed to be the shortest distance ever between two competing senior club finalists. Who were the two clubs that faced off?
BONUS QUESTION since the first two were answered a lot quicker than I thought…
Who is the only player since 1990 to finish as the All-Ireland Senior football championship’s top scorer WITHOUT scoring a single goal in that entire championship campaign?
