Derry 1-12 : Down 1-14

One of the all best Gaelic matches ever....a classic

It’s the first round of the 1994 Ulster Championship. Derry are reigning Ulster

and All-Ireland champions and with stars like Joe Brolly, Anthony Tohill and

Henry Downey they are hotly tipped to retain both titles. But Down have other

ideas and their own stars such as Mickey Linden, James McCartan, Greg

Blaney and Ross Carr. The clash of the big two, with home advantage to Derry

in Celtic Park, this game turned out to be a classic and is regarded by many as one of

the best Gaelic matches of all time.
