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.

Steltzner The copyright of this thesis vests in the author. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non-commercial research purposes only. Abstract This thesis explores and traces the history of the clarinet in South Africa. After discussing the problems of researching western European music history in South Africa from the arrival of the Dutch in 1652, and briefly summarising that music history up to the first clarinet reference, the thesis goes through the existing clarinet references. These have been sourced from travellers’ journals, newspapers, military histories, other theses, etc., with particular emphasis on the 19th century, since the clarinet was introduced to South Africa near the beginning of it, and the most unknown part of the clarinet’s South African history is within it.

  • Leinster Schools 1924
    Leinster Schools Athletics Champions 1924-2021 The origins of Leinster Inter-Schools Sports/Championships can be traced back to 1914 under the Dublin Schools League of the GAA. The Dublin Schools' League farmed out athletics events to be held with schools’ hurling/football championship finals. However, as GAA club names are given for winners it is not possible to identify schools. The Irish Amateur Athletic Association (IAAA) organised All-Ireland Schools’ Championships from 1916 and the GAA, All-Ireland Schools’ Championships from 1917. The IAAA did not organise Dublin The National Athletic and Cycling Association of Ireland (NACAI) was founded as the National Governing Body for athletics in July 1922 through the amalgamation of the IAAA and the Athletic Council of the GAA. The now titled “All-Ireland Schools and Colleges Championships” were inaugurated in 1923 under the NACAI. Dublin Inter-Schools’ Athletics Championships were revived in 1924 and organised by the Co Dublin Board of NACAI through to 1930. The Dublin Inter-Schools’ Athletic Union (DSAU), under the aegis of the NACAI, was founded at a meeting of representatives of schools and colleges in Jury’s Hotel on 18 October 1930 to take charge of the organisation of the (County) Dublin Schools and Colleges Athletic Championships. The first Hon. President was Mr Patrick Lynch, Attorney General, and the inaugural Chairman, Rev A. Murphy (Castleknock). From 1930 through 1936 the DSAU ran the Dublin Schools and Colleges Athletic Championships. At a meeting of the Dublin Schools’ Athletic Union in Jury’s Hotel on 3 March 1937 a motion to transform this Union into the Leinster Schools’ Athletic Union was passed unanimously.

    “In the beginning” A Celebration of One Hundred Years of Dolphin R.F.C. 2002 - 2003 Compiled, and written by Ger Hodkinson. Layout by Kieran Dwyer. “In the beginning” A Celebration of One Hundred Years of Dolphin R.F.C. 2002 - 2003 © 2002 Dolphin Rugby Football Club 1st Edition Printed in Cork, Ireland by Watermans Printers Acknowledgments With the Centenary season fast approaching I was approached by Paddy Clery, Club President 2001/2002, to work on the club history. “Sure you have a lot of it done already”, referring to a few paragraphs I had done for the Club Newsletter. What a “hospital pass” it turned out to be. Where do you start on such a project, the club records were destroyed in a fire many years ago. Jerry Healy started on the Club History a few years ago, with the aid of our oldest member Sidney Mahony. He put together the short history which was contained in club programmes and membership cards over the past few years. Sidney has been very helpful; he can remember the mid 1920’s as if it were only yesterday. In recognition of this, the title of this book is the same - “In the beginning”. A Club is only as strong, interesting and colourful as it’s members. During my research I found many fascinating stories about “The People of Dolphin”. What I hope is that I have been able to capture these stories and do the many characters justice. This book could not be written without the assistance of many people, but where does one start.

  • Irish Schools Champions 1916
    Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2021 Updated May 2021 To be forgotten is to die twice 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 20th May, except in case of sickness, and who was not attending any office or business”.
