Football Club Years Of
125YEARS OF Cork Constitution FOOTBALL CLUB Edmund Van Esbeck Published by Cork Constitution Football Club, Temple Hill, Cork. Tel: 021 4292 563 i Cork Constitution Football Club wishes to sincerely thank the author, Edmund Van Esbeck and gratefully acknowledges the assistance of the following in the publication of this book: PHOTOGRAPHS Irish Examiner Archieve Sportsfile Photography Inpho Photography Colin Watson Photographey,Montreal, Canada John Sheehan Photography KR Events Martin O’Brien The Framemaker Club Members © Copyright held by suppliers of photographs GRAPHIC DESIGN Nutshell Creative Communication PRINTER Watermans Printers, Little Island, Co. Cork. ii AUTHORS NOTE & ACKNOWLEDGEMENT When the Cork Constitution Club celebrated the centenary of its foundation I had the privilege of writing the history. Now I have been entrusted with updating that chronicle. While obviously the emphasis will be on the events of the last twenty-five years - the most momentous period in the history of rugby union - as a tribute to the founding fathers, the first chapter of the original history will yet again appear. While it would not be practical to include a detailed history of the first 100 years chapter two is a brief resume of the achievements of the first fifty years and likewise chapter three embraces the significant events of the second fifty years in the illustrious history of one of Ireland’s great sporting institutions. There follows the detailed history and achievements, and they were considerable, of the last twenty five years. I owe a considerable debt of gratitude to many people for their help during the compilation of this book. In that regard I would particularly like to thank Noel Walsh, the man with whom I liaised during the writing of the book. -

Zurich Insurance plc is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland. 2 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE It is an honour and a privilege for me to have been elected President of Cork Constitution for the 2016/2017 Season, the 125th anniversary of the founding of our great club. Cork Constitution Football Club is a Rugby Club with a proud history and tradition which is a great source of pride to all involved. As part of our 125 year celebration we embarked on a pre season tour to Canada that included visits to St Johns in Newfoundland and also Montreal. The tour party comprised 24 players and 12 club officials and we had two games with some very promising young talent emerging who grasped the opportunity to lay down a marker for the season ahead. It was a highly successful tour and the players really enjoyed the experience and they were wonderful ambassadors for the club. Last season was a tremendous success both on and off the field culminating in our Senior Team winning the All-Ireland Bateman Cup and Munster Senior Cup Double and our Under 20’s winning the Munster Donal Walsh trophy and the Frazer McMullen. These fantastic achievements do not come without extreme hard work, sacrifice and determination from players and coaches alike which is a credit both to them and the club. We have set the standard for Youth and Juvenile rugby for many years and I would like to thank the unsung heroes, our coaches and trainers, for all the generous time and effort they put into developing our future players. -

LEAVING CERTIFICATE HISTORY CASE STUDY The GAA to 1891 LATER MODERN IRELAND: TOPIC 2 MOVEMENTS FOR POLITICAL AND SOCIAL REFORM, 1870-1914 A resource for teachers of Leaving Certificate History, developed by the National Library of Ireland in association with the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment Written by: Dr Brian Kirby Steering Committee: Dr Ciaran Brady, Mr John Dredge, Dr Noel Kissane, Mr Gerry Lyne Contents Introduction 3 Biographical Notes 6 Glossary 9 Documents included in case study 11 Documents 13 2 Introduction Since 1884 the Gaelic Athletic Association has had a place in Irish society that goes beyond what is normally expected of a national sporting body. The Association was founded on 1 November 1884 in a hotel billiard room in Thurles. The meeting was attended by only a small group of men who agreed to form ‘The Gaelic Athletic Association for the Preservation and Cultivation of National Pastimes.’ The main proponent of a revival of Gaelic games was *Michael Cusack, a schoolteacher from County Clare. Although not active in politics, Cusack was a committed nationalist. The documents selected for this case study attempt to place the origins of the GAA within the historical context of Ireland in the 1880s. Charles Stewart Parnell’s leadership of the Irish Parliamentary Party reaped unprecedented electoral success for Irish nationalism in 1885 and 1886. This led the nationalists to rally to Parnell’s call for constitutional action to secure Home Rule for Ireland. However, the 1880s also witnessed the revitalization of the *Irish Republican Brotherhood as a well organized, popularly supported and militant alternative to Parnell’s vision. -
