HistoryIt is claimed that P.J. Riordan from Drombane scored 6-7 of Tipperarys 6-8 when they beat Kilkenny in the 1895 All Ireland final. If true this would make Riordan the highest ever scorer in an All Ireland final beating the current record of 5-4 by Mick "Gah" Ahern of Cork in the 1928 All Ireland final.
