1984 was a special year in the annals of
Gaelic games as it was the centenary of the foundation of the
Gaelic Athletic Association. Because of this a series of events celebrating the occasion were planned to take place throughout the year. The festivities were officially launched on 18 March at the
Michael Cusack cottage in
Carron,
County Clare. Ash trees were planted to mark the occasion and a plaque was also unveiled in memory of the founder of the association. The
Railway Cup finals were later played in
Cusack Park,
Ennis. A £100,000 film was also commissioned by the centenary committee. Made by
Louis Marcus the film was designed to be a portrait rather than a chronological history of the GAA. ==Results==
