For the first time ever a club from Armagh – Keady Lámh Dhearg – qualified for the Ulster final. That game turned into the most one-sided decider in the history of the championship as Loughgiel Shamrocks won by twenty-four points. Thurles Sarsfields qualified for the Munster final for the very first time in their history. The Leinster final between O'Loughlin Gaels and Oulart-the-Ballagh, originally fixed for 28 November, was postponed due to a heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures across the country.http://www.independent.ie/sport/horse-racing/freezing-weather-wreaks-havoc-2439389.html Freezing weather wreaks havoc 2010-11-28 Irish Independent 2010-11-28 Referee John Sexton took charge of the Munster final just twenty-four hours after his father Johnny's funeral. The Ballyhea whistler had the sad duty of having to blow the whistle to start and end the minute's silence in memory of his late father before the throw-in.http://hoganstand.com/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=139077 Ref takes charge of final after father's funeral 2010-11-29 Hogan Stand 2010-11-29 A mere 1,613 people attended the Munster final as the country was gripped by a sudden cold spell.
