  • 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.

  • 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”.

    Irish Under-Age Athletics Champions 1891-2017 To be forgotten is to die twice Hereunder, is an attempt to compile the list of Irish Under-age Athletics champions from 1891 to the present day. This has been a challenging task to say the least, due to the sheer amount of underage events & titles available on an annual basis. Alongside this, the older (pre internet era) results are only available in newspapers and there are number of results which simply went missing or were regretfully never recorded at a central level. The compilers warmly welcome any spelling corrections, additions and amendments you notice and ask you to email them so that history can correctly record all the great young Irish athletes who spent their early lives training exceptionally hard in pursuit of that elusive Irish title.
