Hi all,
I’ve been tasked with compiling and writing a history of GAA activity in the primary schools, e.g. North Finals/ County Finals, Primary Game, INTO mini sevens etc.
The more recent history is fairly well documented, however older records are sparse. I don’t want to leave anyone out!
If you are aware of any noteworthy GAA related facts from 1987 to present in relation to Fantane NS, St Theresa’s GNS, St Patrick BNS or Scoil Naomh Cualán please get in contact with me at scoilnaomhcualan@gmail.com. Or you can drop photos, newspaper cuttings etc. into the school and I’ll photocopy or scan what’s needed.
I’m looking for photos of teams, photos of Primary Game representatives, write ups from finals, coaches that were involved over the years, pupils who went on to represent Tipperary in the various codes, GAA quiz winners etc.
Many thanks for your help,
Michael Small
Pic of the Past
The Glebe House, Glenkeen
In 1785, a few years after the erection of the Protestant Church in Borrisoleigh (which was located where St. Brigid’s Cemetery is today), Glebe House was built as a residence for the Protestant Minister. After the execution of the Act of 1869 many local Protestant business families left the parish, while others joined the Catholic Church. The Protestant Church was closed and Glebe House was sold in 1870 to Martin Ryan, an ancestor of the present-day owners.
