2015 WAS ANOTHER memorable year for GAA but this isn’t an article to look back on the sumptuous scores and majestic matches but rather celebrate the strange, wonderful and controversial moments that got people talking during the championship.

Richie Hogan makes his second appearance in this list by dint of this poignant Whatsapp screenshot. This is almost definitely a fake but it was a fitting way for Henry Shefflin to exit inter-county hurling in the smartphone era.
