This has been followed up by the establishment of a National Club Committee chaired by Mick Rock. As part of this initiative a new survey aimed exclusively at clubs has been compiled and recently sent out to all of our club secretaries which will hopefully help set the agenda for the gathering later this year. We want to know about the challenges facing clubs like recruiting volunteers, demographics, games programmes, and upgrading facilities. Access to county players and views on underage development squads will also be prioritised. Among a wide list of criteria clubs will be canvassed for suggestions regarding the assistance offered via the National Club Draw, Player Injury Scheme and Club Development Grants. Make sure your club is making its voice heard. Only one response per club is required so make sure your club are involved. All clubs who complete and return the survey by the due date of July 16 will be entered into a draw for two complimentary All-Ireland Final tickets of your choice. Five Pairs in total are available.

    A Seed Is Sown 1884-1900 (1) Before the GAA from the Earliest Times, The

    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.

    GAA Oral History Project on the Understanding That the Content Will Not Be Used in a Derogatory Manner

    REFERENCE NO. (OFFICE USE ONLY): Q1: Describe your earliest GAA memory and how you became involved in the GAA? I don't have a specific first memory as such, but I recall most of my rather large family crowding into the sitting room at home to watch matches on tv from the mid to late 80s on. As the youngest I was usually squashed into the edge of the couch. My first visit to Croke Park was for the 1990 All-Ireland semi-final when Galway beat Offaly by 1-16 to 2-7. Cork beat Antrim by 2-20 to 1-13 in the curtain raiser. That year I joined Tullamore GAA club playing hurling at first and football soon after. It seemed a logical progression as I had always shown a great interest in sport growing up. I dipped in and out of the club over the years, not that my interest or love of the games waned. I had other commitments that my parents sometimes deemed more important and I also lacked confidence as a player. Q2: Did your family have a tradition or history of GAA involvement? Yes, somewhat. My father, I am told, was a talented player in his youth until a knee injury and other commitments cut his career short. My older brothers would have dabbled in the games without any great success. None of them would have had the same obsessional interest in the games as I had or have. In later years, my second cousins, Barry and Ronan Mooney, played football for the county but I wouldn't suggest that the lineage was connected in that regard.

Add in all the training sessions and discussions associated with each team and the impact of this voluntary activity is truly enormous. As the country faces into difficult economic times, it is heartening to see such endeavour complemented with characteristics like passion, spirit and hope. These qualities are not in short supply in Ireland and if we can harness them properly we will overcome our problems. The club itself was overcome with joy in 2010 with the marvellous four-in-a-row senior hurling titles – an achievement that places the club among the ranks of great clubs.
