United Nations, Now York 10017 -ii- Introduction During 1982, many gover ants and organizations zeaffirmed their c tmxx tent to boycott apartheid sport. Several have taken further action tomard that end. Some sports aes and atdmnistrators, hoever, have continued to provide support for 2arted dundr the pretext of separation of sports and politics. 7he South African idgine, desperate for inteanaticnal competition, engaged in further manoeuvres to deceive world opinion while increasing intiidation of non- racial sports bodies in South Africa. At the sane time, emczbitant amounts of mney were offered to international sportsman to visit South Africa. It has been comservatively estimated that in 1982 alone, South Africa spent $10 million to attract overseas sportsn. Such expenditure by any one country is utec nted. While South Africa was able to entice som sportsmnnt and sportswmn, public opinion in their respective countries was outraged and this led to greater anti-athi activity. Meanghile, there has no,- been sufficient progress in the boycott of South Africa in certain sports, such as motor cycle and motor car racing, professional golf and tennis, as well as professional bcing organized by the iorld Boxing Association. A large percentage of the persons naned in this register have competed in those sports. 2me relevant developaents are briefly revieved below. Readjustments and repression 7he readjustumts made by South Africa, whid axe widely publici2ed as removing all racial discrimination in sport, ae essentially meant to daosive world opnion. Racial discrimination continues both in sport and in all other aspects of life. The only change is that "honorary white" status is now being conferred on some blacks for the duration of certain "bona fide" sports fixtures ilr ving international participation. After such sporFix5tures, they have to return to the humiliation of aparthed. bst blacks have rejected this concession which is devised mainly toTe--iWBthe whites to me-enter international sport. Dr. Nthalo -btlana, dairman of the Saweto Committee of Ten, edced the felings of South Africa's oppressed people when he said that sport is part of the whole political situation in South Africa. "Sports in South Africa will only be integrated when the whole country is no longer segregated. 7he danges being made now are purely ametic," he went on to say. Y 2e recent dangs in regulations for government-approved sports fixtures were exposed when several black spectators were charged outside the Ellis Park Sports Stadium for not carrying their passes. -iii- 7he racist rgim and sports bodies have increasingly attacked black resistanoe to such cosmetic dhange as "politically motivated". 2be non-racial and anti-apartheid South African Comil on Sport (SAOS) - which rot only refuses to co-operate with the white govermntiar gnized sports bodies but also constantly exposes the mn -eu of the id r&me - has becam the main target of the r6gime and of the dte sports admiistros. Dr. Gerrit Viljoen, the Minister in charge of sports, has fuequently attacked SAS and called its officials 'political agitators'. Ue ihite South African Oly pic and National Association (SAKW has placed full page wdvertimts in nespapers to Aiscredit SACUS and its officials. Mr. Oppermn, president of SNAIM, alleged that SACOS ws controlled and adinstmd by a mall group of Asians and Coloureds, and claimed that the majority of blacks were idth his association. However, at the reoa- so-called "National Sports Congress" acnverrd by SQMr, there wre hardly any blacks. When asked by an erseas journalist why there we so few "black faces, Mr. Oppeutman said he believed most blacks imft administration to others, could not get off rk, and were "not keen" on meetings. 3 A statment isud by SI MC, to explain the reason why South Afria has been isolated ftu international sport, ccmpared the "cold war of sport" with the "war on the borders". Y Various plys haw been used to sabotage sports activities arranged by SMOs. At the SM sports festival held in Cape TMmn in Cbober thousands of misleading puuphlets were distributad to divert suorters to wong venes. At cne vene, where a gymastics display was to be held, the organizers foun that the Cape Ton City Council had duped loads of soil on the mface of the sports field.

The Governments of Denmark and Sweden have now initiated actions to strengthen their previous bans on South African teams and to ban individual South African sportsmen fran participating in sports fixtures in their respective countries. In March, the Danish Government banned several South African tennis players from carpeting in the 1982 Danish Indoor Chanpionships. The Swedish Goverment also banned two South African players from carpeting in the Stockholm Indoor Tennis Championships held in November 1982. * The Netherlands Government has informed all Dutch sports organizations that South Africa will not be allowed to participate in any sports event in the Netherlands. It has also advised Netherlands sports bodies not to have any contact with South African sports. The Canadian Goverment has announced that it will no longer subsidize Canadian teams for international events outside the country if South Africa is allowed to participate. It had alrady taken such action as regards travel of Canadian teams to South Africa and invitations to South African teams to ccmpete in Canada. The rugby unions of Canada, Hong Kong and Singapore took action against players who participated in an international team which visited South Africa. The Singapore Rugby Union banned its captain, Song Kooh Poh, for life while the Canadian Rugby Union banned its players for one year. Tokkie Smith, a South African now resident in Hong Kong, who organized the tour, was sacked by the Hong Kong Union as its vice-president. The Hong Kong Golf Association alos announced that it will bar South Africa from carpeting in the World Amateur Golf Championships scheduled for Hong Kong for 1984.

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.
