An otherwise entertaining game was made infamous by some unruly incidents most notably a stamping by one of the St Thomas' players Richie Murray where he was seen to stamp on the Loughrea full back and the infamous Johnny Maher striking incident which later became a YouTube sensation. Maher was subsequently suspended for eight weeks following the incidents in the match.https://www.rte.ie/sport/hurling/2012/1206/357118-johnny-maher-gets-eight-week-suspension/ Johnny Maher gets eight-week suspension following Galway SHC final 6 December 2012 RTE Sport 6 September 2026 St. Thomas's were appearing in their first ever final having overcome reigning champions Gort 1–16 to 1–15 at the semi-final stage.https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/arid-20212962.html.html St Thomas reach first final 5 November 2012 Irish Examiner 18 May 2022 John Fallon Results Semi-finals 28 October Semi-final Loughrea 1-12 - 0-7 [Report] Turloughmore J Maher (0-7, 0-6 frees), K Colleran (1-0), Pa Hoban (0-2), S Sweeney (0-1, free), J O’Loughlin (0-1), N Keary (0-1) R Badger (0-3, all frees) C.
