The All-Ireland Senior Football Championship of 1990 was the 104th staging of Ireland's premier Gaelic football knock-out competition. Cork won the championship, beating Meath 0-11 to 0-9 in the final at Croke Park, Dublin. Cork's victory completed a unique double for the county, as a few weeks earlier, their hurling counterparts won the Liam McCarthy Cup.
Famous quotes containing the words senior and/or football:
“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“In this dream that dogs me I am part
Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
All moving the same way.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
