  • Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 Updated June 15 2015
    Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 Updated June 15 2015 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 20 th May, except in case of sickness, and who was not attending any office or business”. The inaugural championships took place in ‘quite fine’ weather.

Tá súil agam go mbainfidh sibh an taitneamh as an cluiche seo inniu. I wish to extend a warm welcome to all the players, Management teams and officials along to Austin Stack Park, Tralee today. Unfortunately, we won’t have any supporters for this year’s League campaign but all going well, by Championship time a limited number of supporters will hopefully be allowed attend the games. Galway travel to Kerry today for their first competitive match since last year’s Connacht championship defeat to near neighbours Mayo and Kerry are in a similar position with this being their first competitive match since last November’s Munster Championship loss to Cork at Páirc Uí Chaoimh. Today is a very important game for both teams but Kerry in particular will be hoping to pull off a win at home. Given the long lay off and the compressed nature of this year’s competition, it is difficult to predict how the league will unfold for Counties this year. The condensed nature of the League will I believe prove very challenging for all Counties in the prevention and management of injuries which will be a key consideration.
