From 11 o’clock large crowds were streaming into the grounds, and at 12 o’clock, the advertised starting time, it was estimated that about 5,000 spectators were present. The ground was in surprisingly good order, while no fault could be found with the playing pitch. Ald. Nowlan, President of the Association, together with the representatives of the Central Council and members of the Provincial Councils, looked after the arrangements, which, in the hands of the Secretary, Mr. L.

He also won 3 senior medals himself in 1932, 1933, and 1935. In this interview for the Black and Amber DVD he talks about his life and times in the Kilkenny jersey. Was there much hurling around Tullaroan when you were growing up? In every parish there was a recognised hurling field. You had men hurling in one part of it and boys in the other and boys at school would use that field at lunch time as well. There was a field belonging to my father - God be good to him - on the old homeland. That field was always recognised as the hurling field. All the hurlers used to go there especially in the summer evenings. On Sunday evenings there could be 40 men there and teenagers. Then in another part of it you had all the youngsters and they were hurling away and then up in the other corner you had the handball alley. Where did the idea for a handball the floor and side walls. Where a rural area was Kilkenny’s first win in an All Ireland alley come from? concerned it was fairly good you know.
