Introducing Week That Was, a new series from Over The Bar – The GAA History Podcast, where we turn back the clock to revisit the games, stories and controversies that made GAA history during this week in years gone by.
In our first episode, we look at four remarkable Championship stories from August 10th to August 16th.
We revisit the dramatic 1981 All-Ireland Hurling Semi-Final replay between Galway and Limerick, go back to 1936 and Mayo’s first ever Championship victory over Kerry, examine a contentious Connacht Final in 1946, and remember 1991, when the Leinster Final was played later in the year than it had been for half a century. Four games. Four very different stories. All played during the same week in GAA history.
