The Famous Four-In-A-Row – by Shane Magee

And now for something completely different! "I was out for a run earlier this week which took me up the northside of Dublin. Running along the canal, the huge spectre of Croke Park rose in front of me. Croke Park is the Mecca of Irish sport, the headquarters of our two main games, Gaelic football and hurling, and since its recent redevelopment, now the third biggest stadium in Europe." Ireland has long been a country where too much Gaelic football is barely enough – and Shane Magee brings us a passionate and informative recollection of a game between Meath and Dublin in 1991.
