Cork. ii AUTHORS NOTE & ACKNOWLEDGEMENT When the Cork Constitution Club celebrated the centenary of its foundation I had the privilege of writing the history. Now I have been entrusted with updating that chronicle. While obviously the emphasis will be on the events of the last twenty-five years - the most momentous period in the history of rugby union - as a tribute to the founding fathers, the first chapter of the original history will yet again appear. While it would not be practical to include a detailed history of the first 100 years chapter two is a brief resume of the achievements of the first fifty years and likewise chapter three embraces the significant events of the second fifty years in the illustrious history of one of Ireland’s great sporting institutions. There follows the detailed history and achievements, and they were considerable, of the last twenty five years. I owe a considerable debt of gratitude to many people for their help during the compilation of this book. In that regard I would particularly like to thank Noel Walsh, the man with whom I liaised during the writing of the book.

Zurich Insurance plc is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland. 2 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE It is an honour and a privilege for me to have been elected President of Cork Constitution for the 2016/2017 Season, the 125th anniversary of the founding of our great club. Cork Constitution Football Club is a Rugby Club with a proud history and tradition which is a great source of pride to all involved. As part of our 125 year celebration we embarked on a pre season tour to Canada that included visits to St Johns in Newfoundland and also Montreal. The tour party comprised 24 players and 12 club officials and we had two games with some very promising young talent emerging who grasped the opportunity to lay down a marker for the season ahead. It was a highly successful tour and the players really enjoyed the experience and they were wonderful ambassadors for the club. Last season was a tremendous success both on and off the field culminating in our Senior Team winning the All-Ireland Bateman Cup and Munster Senior Cup Double and our Under 20’s winning the Munster Donal Walsh trophy and the Frazer McMullen. These fantastic achievements do not come without extreme hard work, sacrifice and determination from players and coaches alike which is a credit both to them and the club. We have set the standard for Youth and Juvenile rugby for many years and I would like to thank the unsung heroes, our coaches and trainers, for all the generous time and effort they put into developing our future players.

Zurich Insurance plc is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland. 2 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear Member, It is my honour to write to you as our Club embarks on the challenges of the 2017/18 Rugby Season. It was most appropriate that in our 125th Year the Club enjoyed the level of success achieved and, as always with Cork Constitution, we must strive to emulate the performances and campaigns of previous years, thus maintaining the traditions of our Club. Our Club Captain Niall Kenneally leads the senior squad for another year and they are really looking forward to the challenge before them with great enthusiasm. Our Juvenile and Youth Sections, the future of our Club, are also back in action and it is my pleasure to confirm that in the Spring of 2018, it is hoped that both our Under 13s and Under 18s will undertake trips overseas to France and Canada respectively. Much hard work is required in the planning and funding of these tours and I would encourage all members to assist where possible. A special word of thanks to our Sponsors who continue their vital financial support, all of which they have seen put to very good use. We very much appreciate their help and we are confident that, in like fashion, their association with Cork Constitution continues to be of benefit. Peter O’Mahony’s selection as Lions Test Captain last June brought a further most significant chapter in our Club’s history with Peter joining Tom Kiernan amongst a very select group of Con and Irish rugby players who have been chosen to lead a Lions Test team.
