Though failing to break the 1.5 million barrier, the turnout at championship games this summer represented a 121,994 hike on the 1,326,566 patrons who filed through the turnstiles in 2014.

The rise in crowd-numbers is welcome news for Croke Park top-brass after attendance figures had fallen last year by 3.5% compared with 2013.
