‘THE Complete All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, 1887-2019’ has just been published by Litter Press and includes the first full record of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship from it’s first year through to the 2019 final.
The book uses original archival and documentary research and includes county-by-county breakdowns, an introduction to the championship and some overall analysis.
Down Gaels have had plenty of glory days after being starved of success in the early years of the Championship – only winning two games before the late 1930s and their first final in 1940. Since then, particularly 1958-1975 when Down only missed out on two Ulster finals, there has been much to celebrate.
Since the book is aimed primarily at a GAA audience, Litter Press is facilitating GAA clubs ordering copies directly. The recommended retail price for the book is £15 but GAA clubs can order copies at the wholesale price of £10 (terms and conditions apply*).
*If the club sells 10 or more copies buyers can purchase the book for the discounted rate of £10. For further information contact Gerry Morgan on Secretary.loughinisland.down@gaa.ie and the closing date for the offer is 14th February, 2020.
