OVER DEZE AFLEVERING

What Happened Between Christy Ring And Galway In The 1953 All Ireland Final?

The 1953 All-Ireland Hurling Final brought Cork and Galway together in Croke Park, with Christy Ring chasing yet another chapter in an extraordinary career. But this was no ordinary final. A fiercely contested game produced incidents that would be debated for decades, with Ring at the centre of a controversy that didn't end when the final whistle sounded. Michael Foley and Ciarán O’Hara go back to the contemporary accounts to ask: what really happened between Christy Ring and Galway in that final and it's aftermath.
