    Roll of Honour Irish Athletics Champions 1861

    Roll of Honour Irish Athletics Champions 1861 - 2019 Comments, additions, corrections to Pierce O'Callaghan [email protected] & Cyril Smyth [email protected] as at December 2019 The Irish Champion Athletic Club (Irish Champions AC) was founded during late 1872/early 1873 and organised the first Irish Championships on Monday July 7, 1873 in College Park Dublin. These championships have been held every year since and are the longest running national championships in the world. The Irish Champions AC, then foundered quite rapidly, being wound-up in 1880/81. Thereafter the championship meeting was run by an ad hoc committee in 1881, and by the Dublin Athletic Club from 1882 to 1884. After several abortive attempts to establish a national governing body for athletics, two were formed over the winter months of 1884/85. First the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) was formed not alone to encourage and administer athletics, but also to develop and foster the traditional Irish field sports of hurling and football, as well as handball. Their action galvanised the existing athletics "establishment" in Dublin who perceived the formation of the GAA - insofar as pertained to athletics as a usurpation, and so was formed, very soon after, the Irish Amateur Athletic Association (IAAA). The distinction between the two rival governing associations is often explained in purely political terms whereas, in reality, the situation is rather more complex; particularly since both organisations embraced a quite broad spectrum of political aspiration, so that once the initial hostilities subsided the majority of athletes, whatever their affiliations, seemed to have no philosophical problems competing in the promotions of both bodies, open meetings as well as championships.

    Fómhar/Autumn 2016 Drámaíocht/Drama

    Fómhar/Autumn 2016 Drámaíocht/Drama Ros na Rún 8.30pm Tuesdays & Thursdays from 6/9/16 (omnibus Sunday) The flagship drama series comes of age this season (the 21st) and is one of TG4’s best-loved programmes. It has engaging storylines that bring the leading characters through awkward situations and extreme jeopardy. There are many laughs along the way, the kindling of romance and consequent broken hearts for some but not all. The coming season will continue to delight, excite and engage audiences with cliffhanging drama, deception, deceit, death and of course romance and humour. In its unique natural style, Ros na Rún deals with the many social issues which face rural communities in today’s world and excels in the exposure of such matters with insightful writing and acting. Following on from the end of season showdown in the woods, audiences wait to see the fate of Bobbi Lee and Andy and will be intrigued to find out if he was left for dead. Tadhg, the series lynchpin is seriously threatened this season but will he get away with it, or must he spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder? The season opens with much treachery and drama, and viewers will once again be glued to their seats as the season unfolds and death hits the coastal village, depriving the community of one of its long-time residents. Wakes and weddings are part of rural life and a Christmas wedding could be on the cards bringing the village some much needed romance and happiness. With tales of affairs, theft, controversial pregnancies, break-ins and break-ups viewers will have plenty to guess at and gossip about every Tuesday and Thursday night at 8.30pm on TG4 with the omnibus on Sundays at 10.30pm.

Who could have known in mid-March last year when we took the decision to shut our activities down, that the Covid challenge would still be front and centre as the summer of 2021 approaches? The best of the GAA shone as we grappled with profound changes to our lives and the supports provided by our club and county network to those who needed them most was both heartening and reassuring. Our games when they returned were a welcome tonic. The club championships and all of the activity that preceded them helped breathe life back into communities right across the GAA family. Similarly, in the darkest days of winter the inter-county games provided us with a focal point and a welcome distraction as we grew accustomed to supporting our players and teams from afar. In the coming weeks, the Allianz League games will come thick and fast and the interest and excitement will follow. We have shown flexibility in organising our competitions, most notably in football where again a straight knockout approach will apply. I would like to acknowledge the buy-in from everyone concerned in helping to make both last year and this season work, and I have no doubt that the entertainment value and profile of the games will be as high as ever.
