GAA beats rugby at Whyte’s sale of sport and entertainment memorabilia

The scoreline at Whyte’s sale of sport and entertainment memorabilia on Monday could be summed up as GAA one, rugby nil. And James Bond trumped Madonna.

A 1912 nine-carat gold medal inscribed: ‘All Ireland F’ball C’ship 1912. Won by Louth’ sold for a hammer price of €6,400.

The county won two All Irelands in the three years from 1910-1912. They won another in 1957 and have not won since.
