Hurling




Antrim's Aaron Graffin (right) representing Ulster in the 2008 Railway Cup hurling semi-final against Munster


Ulster has always been the weakest of the provinces in hurling terms, possibly due to the difference between the hurling promulgated by the early Gaelic Athletic Association and the "commons" game played in Ulster. The Ulster hurling team have only won four Railway Cup semi-final games in their history (1945, 1992, 1993 and 1995),[4] they however lost in each of those Railway Cup deciders.[4]


There have been some successes over the years, mostly by Antrim teams:



  • 1943: Antrim defeated Galway and Kilkenny, but lost to Cork in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship final

  • 1982: Gerry Goodwin (Tyrone) won the All-Ireland Poc Fada Championship

  • 1983: Loughgiel Shamrocks (Antrim) won the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship

  • 1989: Antrim defeated Offaly, and subsequently lost to Tipperary in the All-Ireland final

  • 2010: Graham Clarke (Down) won the All-Ireland Poc Fada Championship
