Tipperary’s All Ireland wins feature in new GAA BoxSets
Sideline Productions & Beaumex Entertainment have teamed up with the GAA and RTE Archives for the biggest ever celebration of All-Ireland finals ever.
Now close to 4000 minutes of RTE All-Ireland final broadcasts covering nearly 50 matches are on sale in 6 individual exclusive DVD gift box-sets. And with Christmas looming GAA fans are advised to buy early as only 1,000 box sets were produced for each release.
Disc 1 - 1964 v Kilkenny
Kilkenny were the defending champions and were tipped in successive years to beat an experienced but ageing Tipp team. But the Premier County easily won 5-13 to 2-8. The following year Tipp’s greatest ever team beat Wexford (2-16 to 0-10) to make it four All-Irelands in five. If they had not lost the 1963 Munster final to Waterford they could have won the first (and only) All-Ireland hurling five-in-a-row.
Disc 2 1989 v Antrim
Tipperary, managed by county legend Babs Keating , were playing Antrim who were only making their second ever appearance in an All-Ireland final, some 46 years after they lost to Cork. The game was a personal triumph for Nicky English who set a single player’s scoring record (2-12) to win his first All-Ireland. The victory for Tipperary, eighteen years after their last in 1971, also preserved their unique record of winning in every decade of the GAA's existence up to then. The final score 4-24 to 3-9.
Disc 3 1991 v Kilkenny
It was Tipperary’s third appearance in the final in four years, having lost in 1988 and won in ’89. Kilkenny were in their first final since losing to Galway in ’87 and hadn’t played Tipp in a final for 20 years (when they lost). Tipperary were red-hot favourites and Kilkenny had only scraped past Antrim in the semi-final. Tipperary had a few points to spare with a merited 1-16 to 0-15 victory.
Disc 4 2001 v Galway
Tipperary last appeared in the 1997 final when they were beaten by Clare in the first all-Munster All-Ireland final. Galway lost to Kilkenny in 1993 and last raised the Liam MacCarthy Cup when they defeated Tipperary in 1988. But this time the tables were reversed. Tipperary won their first All-Ireland title since 1991 in a thrilling match 2-18 to 2-15.
Disc 5 (Double DVD)
2010 v Kilkenny
This was a repeat of the 2009 final with Kilkenny attempting to win a fifth All-Ireland title in-a-row, a feat never achieved in either hurling or Gaelic football. The game was watched by the highest ever Irish viewership for an All-Ireland Hurling Final live on RTE. The match turned out to be a mighty disappointment for The Cats as Tipperary triumphed 4–17 to 1–18.
2016 v Kilkenny
This was the fifth final between Tipperary and Kilkenny in 7 years, with The Cats leading the series 3-1 and also chasing three in a row. A couple of hours after the minor squad won their All-Ireland title, the seniors clinched their 27th All-Ireland title (2-29 to 2-20) ensuring Tipperary won their first minor-senior double since 1949.
