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. -
Irish Universities Athletics Champions 1873-2020 Updated March 2020
Irish Universities Athletics Champions 1873-2020 Updated March 2020 University athletics have played important roles in the foundation and evolution of track and field in Ireland. The first athletics meeting took place in College Park on Saturday 28 February, 1857, under the auspices of Trinity College Dublin Football (rugby) Club, termed ‘The Dublin University Football Club Foot Races’. This athletics meeting was only preceded by meetings organised by The Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, London in 1842 and at Exeter College, Oxford in 1850. What became known as "The College Races" continued through until 1986, except on eight occasions – 1878 and 1879 when the Board of the College refused permission because of a drunken riot by students in 1877, WWI (1915-1919) and 1921 because a female student spectator had been shot dead by an I.R.A. sniper from Nassau Street during a cricket match. The first All-Ireland Track and Field Championships were held in College Park under the auspices of Irish Champion Athletic Club on 7 July, 1873, with some 8,000 spectators watching 91 entries in the 13 events. Henry Wallace Doveton Dunlop, a Trinity graduate, was the founder of the I.C.A.C. His lasting achievement was the building of Lansdowne Road Rugby Ground, the oldest international rugby ground in the world, as a multi-sport complex for athletics, cricket, rugby, tennis, archery and bowls. College Park and Lansdowne Road would continue to be prime venues for international athletics matches and meetings and Irish championships for over a century. The Queen’s University of Ireland was established formally by Royal Charter on 3 September 1850 as the degree-awarding body for the Queen’s Colleges of Belfast, Cork and Galway, which had been established in 1845. -
Schools in Ireland? Analysing Feeder School Performance Using Student Destination Data
Munich Personal RePEc Archive Which are the "best" schools in Ireland? Analysing feeder school performance using student destination data Borooah, Vani and Dineen, Donal and Lynch, Nicola University of Ulster, University of Limerick, University of Derby 2009 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/75680/ MPRA Paper No. 75680, posted 21 Dec 2016 17:11 UTC Which are the "best" schools in Ireland? Analysing feeder school performance using student destination data+ Vani K. Borooah* University of Ulster Donal Dineen** University of Limerick Nicola Lynch*** University of Limerick February 2010 Abstract This paper represents an investigation of the broad factors which underpin the success of feeder schools in terms of the proportion of their “sits” who proceed to third-level education and, also, in terms of the “quality” of their educational destinations. It distinguishes between three school types: public (non-fee paying, English language) private (fee paying, English language), and Gaelscoil (non-fee paying, Irish language). Both private schools and the Gaelscoileanna reported much better results than public schools. From this, the paper disentangles the nature of this advantage by investigating the extent to which private school and Gaelscoil advantage over public schools was predicated on better circumstances and/or on better responses to circumstances. Our results show that private schools and the Gaelscoileanna had a response advantage over public schools: if private schools and the Gaelscoileanna were constrained to responding to their circumstances in the manner in which public schools responded to theirs, the performance of private schools and the Gaelscoileanna would suffer. By constraining the coefficient responses of all three types of schools to be that of public schools, we arrive at a revised list of the "best performing" twenty five feeder schools in Ireland. -
Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 Updated June 15 2015
Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 Updated June 15 2015 In February 1916 Irish Amateur Athletic Association (IAAA) circularised the principal schools in Ireland regarding the advisability of holding Schoolboys’ Championships. At the IAAA’s Annual General Meeting held on Monday 3rd April, 1916 in Wynne’s Hotel, Dublin, the Hon. Secretary, H.M. Finlay, referred to the falling off in the number of affiliated clubs due to the number of athletes serving in World War I and the need for efforts to keep the sport alive. Based on responses received from schools, the suggestion to hold Irish Schoolboys’ Championships in May was favourably considered by the AGM and the Race Committee of the IAAA was empowered to implement this project. Within a week a provisional programme for the inaugural athletics meeting to be held at Lansdowne Road on Saturday 20th May, 1916 had been published in newspapers, with 7 events and a relay for Senior and 4 events and a relay for Junior Boys. However, the championships were postponed "due to the rebellion" and were rescheduled to Saturday 23rd September, 1916, at Lansdowne Road. In order not to disappoint pupils who were eligible for the championships on the original date of the meeting, the Race Committee of the IAAA decided that “a bona fide schoolboy is one who has attended at least two classes daily at a recognised primary or secondary school for three months previous to 20 th May, except in case of sickness, and who was not attending any office or business”. The inaugural championships took place in ‘quite fine’ weather. -

GAA Club – Overview
CIT Student GAA Club – Overview Camogie – Gaelic Football – Hurling – Ladies Gaelic Football - Handball As befits a County with Cork’s tradition in Gaelic Games, GAA has occupied a central role in the development of sport in the Cork Institute of Technology. The Cork Regional Technical College, as it was formally known until its change of title in 1997 to Cork Institute of Technology, first occupied its Bishopstown campus in September 1974. The new college buildings were officially opened by that great Cork GAA exponent and Taoiseach of the day, Mr. Jack Lynch, in December 1977. A student GAA football team was formed in 1975 and the hurling team commenced playing activities in 1976. In the same way the campus has evolved and expanded so too has the GAA Club which as well as being the oldest sporting club at the Institute, with over 400 active members is also the biggest.
