To win a county senior hurling medal Is possibly the second. Many people would reverse these and argue, as I do, that the winning 01 a county senior hurling title by a parish does more, much more, for the parish spirit and pride than an All-Ireland. Two teams have the chance to raise the spirits to high heavens In their respective parishes today. One, 01 necessity must lose out and hopelully theirs wilt be another day. I hope that todays programme will serve as a suitable souvenir of the occasion lor both players and spectators.

  • Evolution of Irish National Records 1861-2019 Event Note Athlete Competition Venue Date
    Evolution of Irish National Records 1861-2019 Event Note Athlete Competition Venue Date The task of developing a table of the Progression of the Irish National Records, from before the birth of organised Athletics in the late 19th Century up to the present day, inevitably presents the compilers with a number of difficult problems. First, of course, is the difficulty that arises from the existence of parallel governing organisations during significant periods of this history and the practice of their maintaining non co-ordinated sets of records. We have also needed to recognise that up until almost the last quarter of the 20th century performances achieved outside Ireland were not accorded status as Irish National Records. Thus, most notoriously perhaps, the winning performances of Bob Tisdall and Ron Delany at the Olympics of 1932 and 1956 were never, in their day, recognised as Irish Records. But there were many others, perhaps less prominent, which because they were achieved outside Ireland were never subjected to those levels of appropriate scrutiny which are customarily accorded to Irish record performances. A further problem arises from the fact that until sometime in the early-1930s the National Record was deemed to be the best authenticated performance made in Ireland whether by a local athlete or by an overseas visitor. Thus an Official List of Records published, for example, in 1924 credited Irish Records to Wyndham Halswelle (SCO., 440y), Hugh Welsh (SCO.,1 Mile), Alvin Kraenzlein (USA, 120yH), and Ralph Rose (USA, Shot Putt). The particular significance of this in the context of our project is that, therefore, a performance by an Irish athlete superior to an earlier Irish Record but inferior to that achieved by an overseas athlete, was not considered for ratification and so, not subjected to the higher levels of scrutiny customarily applied when considering whether to award the accolade of “Irish Record” to a particular performance.

  • Annerville Awards to the 2008 Tipperary Sports Stars
    Tiobraid Árann Abú - United Sports Panel 1959-2009 in conjunction with Bulmers Ltd Golden Jubilee Presentation of the Annerville Awards to the 2008 Tipperary Sports Stars 1 in Hotel Minella, Clonmel on Saturday, 31st January, 2009 United Sports Panel 2009: Back Row (left to right) Eamonn Wynne, Johnny O’Loughlin, Dave Hallinan, Seamus McCarthy, David Clancy, Liam Ó Donnchú; Front Row (left to right) Jimmy Cooney, Seamus King, James Holohan, Ken Conway, Richie Blanche. 2 Foreword When a number of sports enthusiasts got together in 1959, little did they realise that they were starting something that would stand the test of time and be still a force 50 years later. Led by Sean Barlow and the late Sean Lyons the United Sports Panel was formed. They felt the time was right to have an Award Scheme in the county to honour amateur sports stars in their chosen sports annually. In fact, one should note that these were the first such awards in the country. As well as honouring Tipperary’s outstanding amateur sportspersons the United Sports Panel had another aim, as expressed by the second chairman, the late Tom Halpin, when he presented the awards in 1964. He expressed the hope ‘that functions such as these, which brought the stars of various sports together, would help to promote unity in sport.’ Like all innovations, it was not without its teething problems. Finding ways to finance it and getting venues were just two of them. In the early days businesses in Clonmel were canvassed to sponsor the trophies. This problem was eliminated for the 1964 awards when Messrs Showerings Ltd.
