Programme Plus – Vol PROGRAMME PLUS – VOL. 2, NUMBER 2, MARCH 3 rd , 2017 Hello readers, and welcome to the 14th edition of Programme Plus which comes to you in the midst of a very busy period for games in both codes. With the Allianz Leagues in full swing, not to mention second and third level colleges competitions drawing to a conclusion, there’s plenty of material out there for the enthusiast to get their hands on. I’m going to start this month with a simple plea, and I would urge as many readers as possible to take heed. There’s only so much material I can generate on my own, and there’s a strong likelihood that after a certain period the well will run dry. A small number of collectors have been extremely helpful and supportive in terms of supplying material and general assistance, but I’d like many more to step up. I love receiving contributions from elsewhere, because it keeps the content fresh. I don’t want to continue supplying 90% of the material because if this persists I will get fed up and spend the time it takes to put this bulletin together concentrating on my own collection instead. Believe you me, it need attention! A case in point was the plea for help in compiling a database of club histories, made in the last edition following a suggestion from Tony Sheehan. Tony has done a lot of work on the Cork angle, and I’m also very grateful to Joe Lonergan and Patrick Donegan for their contributions on Tipperary and Offaly respectively. Wexford will be taken care of too, but that leaves a lot more counties to be tackled. I’m holding off on publishing the first version of this database in the hope that some more collectors will lend assistance to the project. I know of several readers with extensive collections of club histories, so it would be nice to hear from them with information as it will help considerably in lightening the load. In another attempt to increase participation levels, I’m hoping to introduce a regular feature which caught my eye in ‘Programme Monthly & Football Collectable’, the self-proclaimed ‘world’s greatest football programme & memorabilia magazine’. To be fair, I would concur with that view, and I read it from cover to cover when it arrives on the last Tuesday of every month. The latest issue is number 432 and, even if you have no interest in soccer programmes, I would heartily recommend the magazine if only to be made aware of the great possibilities that exist for our hobby that haven’t been explored yet. Anyway, the regular feature on the inside cover is ‘My Favourite Things’, with collectors telling everyone about their favourite possessions every month. Readers are asked four questions with three answers required for each, and a short explanation if necessary. It would be a big addition to get it off the ground here too, so without further ado here’s the questions/categories as per ‘Programme Monthly’: • Three favourite programmes from my collection • Three programmes I would most like to add to my collection • My three favourite G.A.A. books • Things I would like to see improved in our hobby If you would like to participate, simply send me the answers to the above and, if possible, illustrate them with a few photographs of those favourite programmes and/or books. PICK UP A PROGRAMME: Thank God the Allianz Leagues are back, not just for the competitive matches to attend in both codes, but also for the improved quality of programmes after enduring a month of teamsheets. Collector Keith Heffernan of Maynooth via Portlaoise came up with an excellent suggestion in my opinion a few days after the last edition was distributed. The ‘Pick Up A Programme’ idea was his brainchild, and it’s a simple and effective means of extending help to fellow collectors. I’m sure you’re all aware of how it works by now, but here’s a re-cap: if you are attending a match, and are willing to get programmes for fellow collectors, please let me know before 12 noon every Friday. In turn I will send an e-mail to all subscribers with the full list. If something catches your eye, then please make direct contact with the collector in question. Some might be happy to swap whatever you want with a programme from the game you’re attending yourself, whereas others may prefer a cash transaction. That’s entirely up to the two collectors concerned, but the bottom line is that the scheme has been put in place to assist everyone. I get the impression that many collectors have no interest in National League programmes, so it might only grow in popularity later in the year when the championships are in full swing. Some collectors mightn’t like the hassle, or the extra expense, of buying additional programmes, but remember that you’re the boss and can limit it to whatever suits you. For example, you could decide only to cater for the first five requests you get and then draw the line at that. As a matter of interest, the most individual requests I have received for any one programme has been three which certainly isn’t a lot. I feel that’s worth stressing for collectors who might be reluctant to get involved for fear of having to spend a small fortune on match day to keep others happy. Thanks to the collectors who have been willing to help thus far, and hopefully more will gradually come on board. PROGRAMMES OF THE MONTH: I’m opting for a shared award this month, although both programmes come from the same source, edited by proud Tipperary man Ed Donnelly. In recent weeks Ed has compiled a 48-pager for €3 for the Dr. Harty Cup final featuring Our Lady’s (Templemore) and St. Colman’s (Fermoy), followed seven days later by the Corn Uí Mhuirí decider involving Kerry rivals St. Brendan’s (Killarney) and Tralee C.B.S. (36 pages for €3). A great deal of care and devotion went into ensuring that these programmes were worthwhile souvenirs for two of the biggest days on the second level schools front. And with respect to the other provincial final offerings I have seen from elsewhere thus far, these two are out on their own. Having said that, I would expect to see the high standards maintained when the MacRory Cup final takes place in Ulster on St. Patrick’s Day. While the Harty programme is twelve pages bigger, in terms of visual attractiveness I prefer the Corn Uí Mhuirí. This comes back to a point I’ve made before in this bulletin regarding the printers used by the Munster Council. Others may disagree, but on a personal level I believe their Kerry printer is superior to its Limerick counterpart. Referees are often ignored in programmes or simply mentioned in passing, but that’s not the case here as Rory McGann and Fergal Horgan fill a page in a Q&A format in the Harty programme. Paddy Ryan previews the final over two pages, and then there’s another spread on the Templemore C.B.S. victory of 1978 as seen through the eyes of Tipperary Star columnist Cúlbaire (John O’Grady). That includes a captioned colour photograph of the squad and mentors, and after the recent emphatic Our Lady’s victory this fine feat from nearly 40 years ago is no longer the one stand-out moment from the town’s Harty history. After an address from Our Lady’s school principal Patricia Higgins, there’s a player profile of one of their key men, Tipperary All-Ireland Minor winner Paddy Cadell. John Costigan contributes two pages from the Templemore viewpoint, while Denis Hurley’s report from the semi-final win over Ardscoil Rís is re-produced. The Templemore panel pic shows the squad in school uniform rather than playing gear and is fully captioned. In contrast, the Rice College (Ennis) Senior ‘B’ finalists are photographed prior to a match. They met John the Baptist of Hospital in Limerick, with those line-outs immediately before the centrespread. The Templemore player profiles are on 20 and 21, with name, date of birth, club, favourite player and thumbnail photograph for all panel members. The focus after the fold moves from Templemore to St. Colman’s, with the same features repeated. There’s a useful list of upcoming fixtures in the All- Ireland series, plus news on the launch of the new Munster Post-Primary Schools website and the live streaming of the finals in a welcome new departure. The St. Colman’s panel picture isn’t captioned and that’s one small gripe, but the rest of the programme more than makes up for it. There’s fine coverage of the Fermoy school’s Harty final replay win over 2003 over St. Flannan’s, with Brendan Larkin’s report carried over a spread. The roll of honour page is brightened by a photograph of the cup, while the paths to both finals are on the inside back cover. The corresponding football final programme follows a similar template in terms of items featured, with both captains profiled along with David Clifford who was on the victorious St. Brendan’s team of 2016 and has gone on to study in I.T. Tralee. There’s excellent biographical details on the backroom teams, and the slightly smaller size can be explained by the absence of a curtain-raiser and subsequent reduction in required pages.

  • PROSPECTUS ST KIERAN’S COLLEGE KILKENNY a Welcome from the Principal
    St Kieran’s College Kilkenny Founded 1782 SCHOOL HISTORY St Kieran’s College was established in 1782, ‘the first Catholic College in the Kingdom’ to open its doors after Grattan’s Parliament had relaxed the penal Laws in the same year. The College was situated in a number of different locations, Burrell’s Hall (now St Mary’s Cathedral) before the foundation stone of the present neo-Gothic building was blessed in 1836. In keeping with the aims of the College founders, we, at St Kieran’s College strive to prepare educated, committed and resilient young people, keeping in mind its particular role in promoting solid Christian values. MISSION AND ETHOS St Kieran’s College, as Ireland’s oldest all-boys Catholic Secondary School, continues its founding aim of the pursuit of real excellence in education and formation, in the light of the Gospel, so as to allow all our students to realise the fullness of their potential. Academically, spiritually, physically and emotionally our students are encouraged to strive for all that is possible in the relentless pursuit of perfecting their individual gifts and talents. In so doing they bring to life the joy intended by our motto, “Hiems Transiit”, for themselves, those they love and the community where they will live, serve and lead. ST KIERAN’S PRAYER That I may, reach as high as is possible; believe with all my being; learn with all my power; give with all my heart; and pray with all my soul. That I may teach in ways that are gentle, and carry victory and loss in perspective.

  • '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.
