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.

  • From the Telegraph June 4, 2008 Lawrence Dallaglio Volunteers for Duty at Twickenham Again to Aid Help for Heroes
    From The Telegraph June 4, 2008 Lawrence Dallaglio volunteers for duty at Twickenham again to aid Help for Heroes By Brendan Gallagher Lawrence Dallaglio has absolutely no intention of doing a Frank Sinatra on us but the former England captain and World Cup winner looks set to lace his boots one more time at Twickenham. Dallaglio, less than 72 hours retired, was back at Twickenham yesterday lending his support for a special charity game at HQ on Sept 20 in aid of the injured and maimed British Servicemen who are returning from Iraq and Afghanistan in disturbing numbers. Initially pencilled in as non- playing captain and recruitment officer for the Help the Heroes XV, Dallaglio was on top table when his opposition non-playing captain Scott Gibbs, a firm friend from Lions days and Heroes: Scott Gibbs with Trooper Adam looking fit after recently Cocks, who was injured in Afghanistan and Lawrence Dallaglio training for a marathon, suddenly declared his intention of playing as well. The gauntlet having been thrown down, Dallaglio immediately offered his playing services to Phil de Glanville who will manage the Heroes XV. "Scotty Gibbs always plays to win so if Phil de Glanville needs me on the field as well I'm available," said Dallaglio. "I will also be on the phone later to see if Mr Hill and Mr Back are free and fancy a final run out together. "This is going to be a great day in which rugby people can honour all our unsung British heroes in the Services from all the theatres of war, some of whom pay a terrible price for their country.
