Graigue GAA
Graigue GAA was a Gaelic Athletic Association club located in Graigue, County Kilkenny, Ireland. The club fielded teams in both Gaelic football and hurling. History Located in the Graigue area, on the Kilkenny-Tipperary border, the club had its first success in 1946 when it was awarded the Northern Kilkenny JHC title after an objection was upheld. The Kilkenny JHC was later claimed after a defeat of St Kieran's, Clogga in the final. This win secured senior status for Graigue for the first time. Within three years the club had reached the pinnacle of Kilkenny club hurling when Graigue won the Kilkenny SHC after a defeat of Tullaroan in the final. The club missed out on the Kilkenny SFC title after a defeat by Railyard in 1961. After a period of decline the club amalgamated with nearby Ballycallan in 1969 to form the Graigue-Ballycallan club.

1957 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship
The 1957 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship was the 71st staging of the All-Ireland hurling championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1887.

Since 1922 Galway's hurlers had no competition in the Connacht championship and, as a result, they gained automatic entry to the All-Ireland semi-final every year. This format was seen as hindering the team's chances, however, by being included in the Leinster championship Galway could possibly have more competitive championship games every year.
