History

The final play of the 1994 Leitrim Senior Football Championship between Allen Gaels and Aughawillan proved contentious as Martin McGowan of Allen Gaels, who was playing with a dislocated spine, stood to take a free.[1] Aughawillan's full-back, Martin Flanagan, took up a position behind his goalkeeper, Martin Prior. McGowan struck the ball and expressed certainty that it was two yards over the bar. However, Aughawillan's Flanagan gave Prior "a bit of a hoosh" and Prior, with his shoulders close to level with the crossbar, caught the ball.[1] Referee Enda Stenson did not penalise the move and then blew the final whistle.[1] Thus Allen Gaels were denied a replay and Aughawillan secured a third consecutive championship title.[1]
