For the Record by Tom Morrison
For the Record is the first detailed history of the second biggest competition in the GAA calendar, the National Football and Hurling Leagues. It describes all the National League finals in chronological order, from the inaugural finals in 1926 to the deciders of 2002, over 180 games. Many finals drew greater crowds than provincial finals. All 32 counties, plus New York, were involved in either a final or semi-final. 14 counties won football league finals, with Kerry holding the most, while Tipperary top a group of 10 in hurling. Each match report is followed by complete line-outs, over 5000 player names, including christian names. Over 80 team photographs have been unearthed to compliment the text and accompany lineouts. There have been some classic contests in the competition, perhaps none more so than the 1993 hurling league final between Cork and Wexford, when it took 210 minutes, three games, to decide the outcome. This story of stirring matches attempts to do justice to the great players who graced these games and is a worthy salute to their followers who travelled in their thousands.
