Summary
On 15 July 1890 Fohenagh, captained by Tim Glynn, played Gurteen at a big Gaelic tournament in a field lent by the Cormican family. After fifty minutes of 'spirited stopping and blocking' the teams were called off. The score? Nothing all! Around the same time Fohenagh beat Kilconnell 2 goals 1 point to 1 goal in a Caltra football tournament, and lost 1 goal 3 points to nil at Glentane.
