PROGRAMME PLUS – VOLUME 1, NUMBER 9, OCTOBER 13Th, 2016 PROGRAMME PLUS – VOLUME 1, NUMBER 9, OCTOBER 13th, 2016 Welcome readers to the latest edition of ‘Programme Plus’, coming to you somewhat later than scheduled and hoped for due to various work-related matters; simply put, there’s not enough hours in the day right now! However, I did manage to escape from the toil in order to attend Mealy’s Rare Book and Collectors’ Sale in the Ormonde Hotel, Kilkenny, on September 28th. This was the equivalent of letting children loose in a toy shop leading up to Christmas, as programme enthusiasts from all four provinces turned out in the hope of securing something new to adorn their respective collections. It was a good social exercise for our small community as much as anything else, and I was delighted to put faces to names and meet the likes of John Nagle, Gerard O’Donnell, Joe Lonergan, Paddy Quill, Seamas O’Reilly and Bobby McIlhatton for the first time. Bobby had the longest journey of all, from Loughgiel in the Glens of Antrim, but he travelled with a smile on his face as the club had won back the Antrim Senior hurling title on the previous Sunday. The attendance also included more familiar faces to me such as Dominic Williams, Liam Rabbitte and James Lundon, along with a few more collectors that I didn’t get a chance to meet. It was my first auction so I went with an open mind, interested in the dynamics of the event itself as much as adding to my collection. Having said that, I didn’t want to return home empty-handed so I plunged for a box of mainly Tipperary-related items at the off. Later on when I sensed from the room that there wasn’t much interest in the 1961 and 1962 All-Ireland hurling final programmes, I grabbed them too as I needed a swap of the latter. I found it encouraging to note the general camaraderie between collectors. For example, if someone wanted an item and made it known to the rest, he was usually given a free passage to secure it without having to enter into a bidding battle. Most people abided by these gentlemen’s agreements, but not all; however, isn’t that the way of the world anyway, and you all know the old saying about really having to fight for anything that’s worth having. I was happy to sit back and let others bid for items they had set their hearts on; I’m not sure I’m cut-throat enough for these live auctions, but I more than made up for it the following week in Peter Geoffrey’s latest mail bid sale when 14 of my 18 bids were successful, and I also scooped up four of the unsold items for good measure! Back to the events in Kilkenny: one keen observer and active participant in the auction was well- known journalist Enda McEvoy, and he penned a most interesting piece covering the back page of the following day’s ‘Irish Examiner’ sports supplement. Here’s the article in full in case you missed it: BUYING INTO SPORTING HISTORY BY ENDA McEVOY ‘Big news. I’m off to an auction of GAA memorabilia and I mean business. Serious business. I’ve studied the catalogue inside out and back to front. I have put on my best suit. I’m even wearing a dickie bow, although unfortunately it quickly comes loose and has to be discarded. Pity. I was determined to cut quite a dash in the photo. ‘The auction is part of a Rare Books and Collectors Sale organised by Fonsie Mealy Auctioneers, the venue the Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel. Along with the usual selection of old match programmes, this particular event features the medal collections of Phil Shanahan (old Tipperary hurler) and Joe Barrett (even older Kerry footballer and the first man from the county to lift the Sam Maguire). ‘The room, then, shimmers with GAA history. It also contains its share of familiar faces. There’s Donie Shanahan, chairman of Toomevara GAA club, here to keep a proprietary eye on the fate of the Shanahan (no relation) collection. There’s Dominic Williams, the Wexford GAA historian. There’s Seamus O’Reilly from Clare, a familiar ponytailed photographic presence on big days at Semple Stadium and the Gaelic Grounds and a man who, having started collecting at the age of 10, has all but 11 of the Munster senior hurling championship programmes issued since 1946. ‘There’s also a charming couple up from Douglas, Pat and Bernadette O’Connell. Pat is the vendor of lot 711, the programme from some match or other played in Thomond Park on October 31 1978…Pat was there. Yes, really. One of the communion of saints who actually saw Munster beat the All Blacks, as opposed to one of the millions who claim, a la the GPO in 1916, to have been there. He appreciates it now more than he did at the time, he says. “Oh, I came home very happy afterwards. But now that the match has taken on such mythic proportions, I’m even happier I was there. I didn’t realise at the time it was one of the best days of my life.” His and Bernadette’s three sons live in Yorkshire, Australia, and San Francisco. No point in giving the programme to any of us, the lads told them. “We want to see it live on, and this is the way to do it,” says Bernadette. It realises €380. Very respectable. ‘Other items of interest include an eclectic collection of autographs that features the signatures of such luminaries as Jerry Lee Lewis, Gazza, Paul Newman and, um, Maxi. An Arsenal jersey signed by their 2015 FA Cup winners prompts Larry Ryan of this parish to maintain text communication with me until such time as it sells for €210, which is €190 more than Larry’s limit. Bidding for a hurley reputedly used by Nickey Rackard in the 1955 All-Ireland final starts at €400. It finishes at €1,200. ‘My riding orders are straightforward: Attend, observe and report. On no account bid for anything, which leads to horrible visions of me coughing or rubbing my head at the wrong juncture and ending up in some Mr Bean sketch as the unwitting, unwilling owner of a priceless artefact. The Examiner’s finance department would just love that, alright. ‘Guess what, though? After a while, the bug bites me and I completely forget my orders. A programme for the 1939 All-Ireland hurling final - World War Two, thunderbolt and lightning, very very frightening, all that jazz - comes up, complete with ticket stub. Deadly. Anyway, I’m dying to wave that paddle thing they use at auctions. ‘In I duly plunge at €200. Up it goes, much too rapidly, in increments of €20. Three hundred, 320, 340, 360, 380. I am rapt in this Centre Court rally, the problem being I’m facing Rafa Nadal. The gent on the other side of the net has an irritatingly swift return for every one of my volleys. Bastard. At €400, common sense belatedly kicks in and I cry halt. Damn. On second thoughts, undamn. I can afford to eat this weekend. ‘The Shanahan collection, which includes his three All-Ireland medals (1949-51) and a raft of Munster, Railway Cup and Tipperary club honours with Toomevara, goes for €19,000. ‘Then, it’s time for what Fonsie describes as “the piece de resisténce of this sale - of any sale”: Joe Barrett’s collection, with its All-Ireland, provincial, club and War of Independence medals. It was withdrawn by Barrett’s son Jojo from the GAA museum in Croke Park as a mark of protest over the playing of God Save the Queen at the Ireland/England rugby international there in 2007. Sometimes, with the GAA, as William Faulkner might have said, the past is not dead. In fact, it’s not even past. ‘The bidding starts at €28,000. In a flash it hits €38,000, then €39,000 before a phone bidder offers €40,000. ‘Wow. ‘Afterwards Donie Shanahan says he hopes that the new owner of the Shanahan collection will see fit to make it available for special club occasions in Toomevara, while Seamas O’Reilly reveals he’s filled in two of the gaps in his collection. One that remains is a Kerry/Waterford clash of the 1950s. It’s his holy grail and he’s not optimistic about finding it. ‘”I doubt it even exists.” ‘As for me, I’m 500 quid better off than might have been the case. Auctions of GAA memorabilia are fascinating, but I’ll be giving them a wide berth in future. No more suits, no more dickie bows, no more temptation.’ Readers who weren’t in Kilkenny might be interested in the prices realised for the various G.A.A. lots, and I’ll start with the match programmes. Lot 774 (€340): four Munster SHC programmes from 1944, 1945, 1946 and 1948. Lot 775 (€300): ten Munster SHC programmes from 1950 to 1959. Lot 776 (€150): 15 Munster SHC programmes from 1960 to 1969. Lot 777 (€140): eight Munster SHC programmes from 1960 to 1973. Lot 778 (€120): ten Munster SHC programmes from 1971 to 1975. Lot 779 (€150): three Munster SHC programmes from 1948 and 1949. Lot 780 (€280): twelve Munster SHC programmes from 1950 to 1959. Lot 781 (€620): eleven Munster SHC final programmes from 1949 to 1959. Lot 782 (€260): six Munster SHC final programmes from 1960 to 1965.

    A Seed is Sown 1884-1900 (1) Before the GAA From the earliest times, the people of Ireland, as of other countries throughout the known world, played ball games'. Games played with a ball and stick can be traced back to pre-Christian times in Greece, Egypt and other countries. In Irish legend, there is a reference to a hurling game as early as the second century B.C., while the Brehon laws of the preChristian era contained a number of provisions relating to hurling. In the Tales of the Red Branch, which cover the period around the time of the birth of Christ, one of the best-known stories is that of the young Setanta, who on his way from his home in Cooley in County Louth to the palace of his uncle, King Conor Mac Nessa, at Eamhain Macha in Armagh, practised with a bronze hurley and a silver ball. On arrival at the palace, he joined the one hundred and fifty boys of noble blood who were being trained there and outhurled them all single-handed. He got his name, Cuchulainn, when he killed the great hound of Culann, which guarded the palace, by driving his hurling ball through the hound's open mouth. From the time of Cuchulainn right up to the end of the eighteenth century hurling flourished throughout the country in spite of attempts made through the Statutes of Kilkenny (1367), the Statute of Galway (1527) and the Sunday Observance Act (1695) to suppress it. Particularly in Munster and some counties of Leinster, it remained strong in the first half of the nineteenth century.

It gives me great pleasure to extend a warm welcome to you here to Semple Stadium Thurles on this most significant occasion and a match that forms part of the landmark that is the start of the 2020 inter-county GAA Championships, and also draws down the curtain on the Allianz Hurling Leagues. It is fair to say that there have been several moments when it looked as if we would not be here in this position. In many ways the world we knew and took for granted last March seems a lot longer than seven months ago. So much has been lost, and more important than the freedoms and privileges we so badly miss are the lost lives of the more than 2,500 Irish people all over the island who passed away at the hands of the coronavirus and left a void in the lives of the loved ones who mourn them. As we return to inter-county action the perils of the world we find ourselves in still exist.
