Episode 7: 1958 Sigerson Cup Anniversary
In February 2019 Queen's GAA celebrated the 60th anniversary of its first Sigerson Cup triumph. It was the first time that cup had visited Ulster as Queen's defeated perennial contenders UCD.

John O’Neill, Tom Scullion (Derry), Barney McNally, Paddy McGuckian, Mick Brewster (RIP) (Fermanagh), Frank Higgins, Gerry O’Neill (Derry), Charlie Murphy, Leo O’Neill (Derry), Eamonn Flanigan
Dessie O’Rourke, Kevin Halpenny, Paddy O’Hara (Manager, RIP) (Antrim), Hugh O’Kane (Captain), Dr John Macaulay (RIP), Seamus Mallon, Brendan Donaghy.
