Programme Plus – Vol
PROGRAMME PLUS – VOL. 2, NUMBER 3, APRIL 7 th , 2017 Hello readers, and welcome to the third edition of ‘Programme Plus’ so far this year, and the 15th in total. This information bulletin received another welcome boost in the programme for that classic Allianz NHL game between Tipperary and Kilkenny in Semple Stadium recently when avid reader and collector Seamus O’Doherty devoted three very interesting pages to our hobby. The piece was embellished by the stylish layout deployed by Tom Beirne, with the use of various images bringing the text to life. Thanks to the initiative shown by Seamus, the spotlight was shone on programme collecting at one of the biggest games of the year thus far, and I received numerous e- mails in the days that followed from additional personnel requesting inclusion on the mailing list. There was a crowd in excess of 14,000 for the game, and the programme was a sell-out. Now, there’s an endorsement for the worth of the ‘Pick Up A Programme’ scheme if ever I saw one. A couple of collectors had offered their services for the match, and if you made contact and asked for assistance you have no worries as regards procuring the programme. On the other hand, if you didn’t bother, and didn’t attend the game in person, then you might find it difficult to get the programme now! The moral of the story? When help is offered, take it at every opportunity! Regular readers will recall the journey I took before Christmas, covering hundreds of miles all over the country primarily in my desire to procure the numerous club histories published in 2016.

'Ducksy' Walsh Reaped a Golden Harvest by Lorcan O'rourke The
‘Ducksy’ Walsh Reaped a Golden Harvest By Lorcan O'Rourke The sad news we were expecting during the first week of August, but hoped would never come, eventually came when 'Ducksy’ went to his eternal reward on Thursday 4 August. His passing is a tremendous loss, firstly to his wife, Sheena, their children, Dylan, Megan and Niamh, and his siblings, to Irish handball, the international handball fraternity, his friends, neighbours and the GAA in general, especially in Kilkenny where he was so highly regarded, honoured and respected. His achievements on the handball court will never be equalled. He amassed an amazing 108 All-Ireland titles, four World titles, a Texaco Award and innumerable National and Provincial medals as well as a host of tournament trophies. And he deserved every accolade, title, medal and honour which came his way. He earned them all and worked so hard to achieve the ultimate in perfection to reach the top of the sport. He was a genius, an artist, a complete master of his craft who gave of his best, who wanted to be the best and who achieved that. His astonishing cache of 38 All-Ireland senior medals is equalled by the combined total of All-Ireland senior hurling medals won on the field of play in Croke Park by Henry Shefflin (10), J J Delaney (8), Jackie Tyrrell (7), Tommy Walsh (7), and Noel Skehan (6). What an amazing feat between 1985 and 2001! We can name any number of well-known sportspersons – for example, Jack O’Shea, Henry Shefflin, Angela Downey, Brian O’Driscoll, Sonia O’Sullivan, Roy Keane, Bernard Dunne, Pádraig Harrington –and ‘Ducksy’ was their equal in his own sport: he was meticulous in preparation for every match, respected every opponent, had fierce determination to win and always did everything necessary to make it happen.

This year our Senior Championship was played on a new (or was it the old) system and it proved to be a great success, bringing great freshness and a renewed interest in hurling to the Division. We were treated to a number of very close enjoyable games, culminating in taday's unique final pairing of Burgess and Kildangan. Both of these team have come from Intermediate ranks as recently as 2004 and 2005 so a new Club name will be inscribed on to the Frank McGrath Cup in 2008. Kildangan's two previous successes were before the present Trophy came into being in 1962. With little form to go on, 1 look forward to a cracking, sporting game and I wish both learns the best 01 luck.
