Best Last Gasp Scores

Replying To Htaem:  "Some great last minute scores mentioned, as a neutral I think Maurice Fitz v Dublin 01, Cassidy v Kildare 11 and Cluxton v Kerry in 11 were all brilliant dramatic late scores to name but a few. As was Cork's winner v Kerry this weekend in fairness.

As a Meath fan I've seen us get plenty of dramatic late winners and equalisers over the years, particularly when we were a top team (many moons ago) such as Beggy v Dublin 91, Coyle & Reilly v Mayo 96, Murphy v Westmeath 01 and many others.

But one I really enjoyed which is a bit forgotten I think is Cian Ward's brilliant equalizer from the sideline v Dublin in 2007 to take game to a replay. We were down by 5 points in both first and second half of that game but we came on and dragged us back into it."
That was a terrific point. When they talk of Maurice Fitz they should also talk of wardy wonder kick.

mick jacob v all ireland champions kilkenny.it was made all the sweeter by the fact that there was only 20k supporters there,and while 19k were probably from wexford it was still only the really true wexford support who travelled that day. will never forget it.

otherwise,ciaran carey for me is still the greatest.i still remember him powering up the field,his neck pumping as he gave every last ounce he had to it.unreal score.

Replying To SouthsideRossie:  "Spot on Douglas_44, possibly my favourite too. Some other great memories for bruised Rossies out there, Derek Duggans injury time free in 1991 in Castlebar to tie it up was unreal.
However you probably have to give no 1 to Shane Curran's penalty in minor final injury time 2 years before, also in Castlebar. Such drama as he ran past the designated taker (who was under orders to tap it over for a draw) and buried it for a "win. Then all hell broke lose! Great times."
I remember Roscommon went celebrating and were then presented with the trophy not realizing that the referee had disallowed the goal and Galway were in fact champions. I suppose the Connacht council did the fairest thing and ordered a replay. I went to the replay, which was also in McHale Park, out of curiosity but there was no further controversy and Ros won by a couple of points.

Replying To tiobraid:  "Conor Sweeney also got a class score this weekend.

Domhnall O'Donovans point wont be beaten for me. Mick Jacobs goal against KK also lives long in the memory"
That broke my heart. I thought we'd done enough and toned our run hone to perfection. I don't think Cork ever recovered from that to this day.

Replying To catch22:  "If it's an infamous one you want it would have to be big Joe's try v Louth 2010.
Wonder did Sludden ever ref again since."
Yeah he did ! He got to ref a few games in the Heineken cup the following year!
