Even if you're not interested in sport or even if your interest in sport only goes to a particular sport or your particular county or team, I think you'd have needed a heart of stone not to have been moved yesterday by what happened at Croke Park. It wasn't just the excellence of the Mayo performance in beating Kerry, but that release of raw motion at the end of the game that just lifted Croke Park and I think lifted everybody else who would have been watching outside of the ground on television, as I think was particularly well put by the GAA president, Jarlett Burns, in his presentation of the Sam Maguire. We have, coming up in just a little while, we'll talk to a man who lifted the All-Ireland for Galway, Ray Silk, who was with us last Friday in previewing the game.
We'll talk to Keith Duggan of the Irish Times, who wrote a book a number of years ago, House of Pain, about Mayo football. And we'll have Willow Callaghan with us from Off the Ball as well. But Martin Kearney, who you've met many times on this programme before, former Mayo footballer, Martin, I think it's correct to say, isn't it, you were on the bench, weren't you, for Mayo back in 1989 in the defeat to Cork?
Yes, I was on the bench that year in 89. I tell you, I was basically on my last legs at that stage. And John O'Mahony was very good to keep me on it. But that was a particularly, you know, raw occasion in the sense that we lost. But it was a magnificent occasion in that it was the first time Mayo had reached an All-Ireland in 38 years. And it probably was the start of that period for Mayo all of a sudden got a sense that they were capable of getting to All-Irelands.
Indeed, but Martin, I have to just go through the list here because when you lost to Cork in that final, This will take a little while. You lost in 96 to Meath after a replay. You lost in 97 to Kerry. You lost in 2004 to Kerry. You lost to 2006 to Kerry. There's a couple of themes coming off here. You lost to Donegal in 2012, to Dublin in 2013, to Dublin in 2016 after a replay, to Dublin in 2017, to Dublin again in 2020, and then in 2021 you lost to Tyrone. And you came back yesterday and nobody gave you a chance of beating Kerry, the reigning champions, for all sorts of reasons, but also because this narrative had developed that Mayo had become losers. But by God, you buried that yesterday.
Now, you've buried it in a big way yesterday, Matt. And I mean, the person that has to be really, really applauded for actually orchestrating that is Andy Morne. I mean, Mayo got an absolute trimming against what's common in the championship this year in April. They lost the second half of that game by something like 117 to seven points. And honestly, everybody at that stage just had thrown their hat at it. But he got his troops, he regrouped them, he implemented a system That, to me, was an expression of the free spiritness of the male people. He rejigged his full forward line, which I think was the key to actually the success that was achieved yesterday.
What reaction did Mayo’s All-Ireland win provoke across Croke Park and nationwide?
He put two youngsters in the corner. Well, Coby McDonald is only doing his leaving cert. He hadn't even done his leaving cert then. He put Reiner Dunhuet full forward. Reiner spent a lot of his time at centre forward. And he put another young fella, Dara Byrne, in the other corner. And those three guys between them all of a sudden kind of clicked and formed a very, very potent inside line. And it was their particular, I think, influence on games, as well as the spirit that Andy Mourne managed to inculcate into his team, that all of a sudden transformed them and brought them to the stage where they became All-Ireland champions yesterday.
