Re: Offaly v Galway. All Ireland SF Final 1971
hard see it in either code unless a freak group come at the same time like the minor hurlers in 86/89.hurlers have to try get out of the 3rd tier for a start. footballers are well down the pecking order in leinster? dubs meath kildare laois westmeath def ahead of us. jury out on longford louth. were...
