Connacht Sentinel 20 Oct 1953: Maree 4-2, Fohenagh 2-3: the 'travesty' at Loughrea

Excerpt

Fohenagh led 1-3 to 0-0 at half-time, then Maree hit three quick goals and a Fohenagh goal was ruled out. In the closing minutes the hurleys were swung more like cavemen's clubs than camáin, and the referee gave up trying to line the teams up again. Happily the paper says nobody was seriously hurt. Maree went through 4-2 to 2-3.
