Remembering Waterford GAA's darkest night 40 years on

Forty years on from the U21 hurlers' bus crash, those affected recount the three lives lost

The roadside memorial to Tony Forristal, Martin O'Grady and Jimmy Costello. The three were killed in an accident there in 1981.  

Forty years ago tomorrow, Bucks Fizz claimed the Eurovision contest in Dublin with their song “Making Your Mind Up”.

Just as the show was starting in the RDS, the Waterford U21 hurlers were finishing a meal in Tipperary town having played Clare in a challenge game there earlier that evening.
