@numbnut97638772 @McCoyNiall @GaelicGameStats It's prior to 2010 anyway. @Armagh_GAA beat @officialdonegal twice that year, in Letterkenny and Crossmaglen. In my quick scan back, I don't think Armagh have beaten Donegal since. Drawn plenty of times, but no wins.

Here's a table looking back on 2024 with all games played aggregated, i.e., pre-season, NFL and championship. Two points for win, one point for a draw, counties ranked accordingly.

@mccaffederney @Kerry_Official @FossaGaa @davidcliff13 @DubGAAOfficial @bernardbrogan @Armagh_GAA @KilleavyGAA @StevenMcD13 No one is a bigger advocate of @Sean_Quigley15 than myself. He's one of the reasons I set up this account, but that is indeed big bro Seamus Quigley.

The players who hit most points per game 2010-24. 10+ apps only. A @LeitrimGAA man tops the pile no less! @MohillGAA's Keith Beirne hitting the guts of six points a game. @Doiregaa + @GACSlaughtneil's @guigan_shane; & @Kerry_Official + @kenmaregaa's @Seanieos complete the top 3

Very proud of these next two tables. The product of literally thousands of hours of data entry drudge, during which very few podcast rabbit holes were left unexplored. The first is the players with the top average score per game, only those with 10 or more games.

Top apps SINCE 2010, my take. @TyroneGAALive + @ErrigalCiaran1's Peter Harte top on 201. @MayoGAA legends @BreaffyGAA's @AIDOXI & @Gaa_Knockmore's Kevin McLoughlin; POTY, Paul Conroy of @Galway_GAA + @galway_st; and @monaghangaa + @ScotstownGAA's @darrenqz round out the top 5.

At the risk of being one of those 'soon I will expose them all' accounts, these top scorers per game will be mighty stuff.

I've linked up apps and scores so I can now tell you the average score per game (from play and overall total) since 2010 for every player who has scored since 2010. I'll be working up graphics for top apps and top scoring averages over the next wee while.

So long @sweeney_con. One of those players who numbers were in the, 'Wait, let me check that again' category. The @TipperaryGAA and @BallyporeenGAA ace made 143 apps, 85 in championship. Since 2010 he scored 46-462 (600) averaging an amazing 4.2 points/game! A real modern legend.

Fewest players used in NFL since 2010. #Kilkenny lowest here for obvious reasons. Interesting that some of the most successful counties, like #Donegal, #Mayo, #Tyrone and #Monaghan had the lowest churn in terms of players used over the period.

Most players used in NFL since 2010. Once again @LondainGAA way out ahead on this metric. #Down high again, with #Wicklow, #Waterford and #Derry using big numbers too.

Fewest players used in pre-season competitions since 2010. @NewYorkGAA are here by merit of two FBD League 'away' finals. Interesting that @TyroneGAALive used so few players in the McKenna Cup despite probably playing more pre-season games than any other side in the country.

Most players used in pre-season competitions since 2010. @DubGAAOfficial, @MeathGAA, @CLGLaois, @westmeath_gaa, @officialdowngaa and @Kerry_Official are among the counties who liked to cast a wide net in January.
