Route To Winning An All-Ireland

Going off on a tangent. When Kilkenny lost to Tipp in the 2010 All-Ireland, it ended a run of 21 Championship games undefeated (no draws), which started with win against Westmeath in 2006.

good tangent but would Tipp's 2010 run be impressive?

Lost to Cork in Munster
Beat Wexford in qualifiers
Beat Offaly in qualifiers
Beat Galway in all Ireland quarter final
Beat Waterford in all Ireland semi final
Beat Kilkenny in all Ireland final

Yes impressive, but I think Tipp's 2019 run was probably more impressive as they played more games, albeit this was down to the 5 team round-robin series of the provincial championships.

Munster Championship
Beat Cork
Beat Waterford
Beat Clare
Beat Limerick

Munster Final
Lost to Limerick

All-Ireland Championship
Beat Laois QF
Beat Wexford SF
Beat Kilkenny Final

Just throwing it out there, would also be great to hear tales of club AI victories via tough routes!

What about St Vincent's in 2008? They are the only club to beat Nemo and Crossmaglen in the same year to win it. They also knocked out Portlaoise in Leinster.

Great achievement when you consider how many all Ireland club titles those clubs have won in the not so distant past.
