1985 Ford Open Draw Cup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1985 Ford Open Draw Cup was a Gaelic Games competition arranged by the Gaelic Athletic Association as follow-on to the high successful 1984 Centenary Cup. This was a far less popular event and there was widespread resistance. A number of counties refused to participate. The hurling competition was won by Tipperary and the football competition was won by Kerry.

Hurling

[edit]
  • Limerick objected to the competition and refused to enter into the hurling comp.
