DEC 1, 2015
Hurling enthusiasts around the globe will be delighted to learn
of a new DVD video release of rare and unseen inter-county action from Ireland in the 1960s.
The Irish Film Institute recently launched at Croke Park,
Dublin, the DVD ‘GAA Hurling Gold 2: All-Ireland Hurling
Final Highlights 1960 – 1968’, the latest release in a series of AllIreland Hurling and Football highlights DVDs. The series has
proven very popular to date and should prove enticing over the
forthcoming Christmas holiday period.
‘GAA HURLING GOLD 2: ALL IRELAND HURLING
The compilation includes rare footage of some legendary players of the game, including Tipperary’s John Doyle who can be
seen equalling Christy Ring’s record of winning eight All Irelands in the 1965 match – believed lost until it was recently discovered in the IFI Irish Film Archive. Also featured is Dublin’s
last appearance in an All-Ireland Hurling Final in 1961, and
Cork’s magnificent 1966 win under Gerry McCarthy, after a decade in the doldrums.
The collection should be a wonderful piece of nostalgia and
history for any GAA fan, capturing the enthusiasm of the crowds
at the matches along with footage of some glamorous
guests, including Prince Rainier and Princess Grace
of Monaco who was at the 1963 final.
