Annual Sports Event Set for August 27th at Markets Field
The annual sports event, scheduled for Sunday, 27th August, at the Markets Field, has found capable secretaries in Mr P.J. Hayes and Mr J. McSweeney. Both renowned representatives of the Young Irelands club and Limerick County Board, their energetic management promises a successful event. With Messrs. W. Sheahan and P. Meany as treasurers and Mr P.J. Hayes and Mr P.J. Leahy taking on the important task of handicapping, the event is set to be a resounding triumph.
Annual Convention of Limerick Gaels
The Gaels of County Limerick eagerly anticipate the annual convention, scheduled to be held in the Town Hall on Wednesday, 2nd August. Discussions have arisen about the participation of recently affiliated clubs in the convention. Mr Roche proposed that clubs that hadn’t paid their fees before 1st February should be barred from participating. This suggestion was met with approval from Mr Meany, who believed it would ensure that only dedicated Gaels took part. However, the matter was set aside as the convention seeks to foster unity and cooperation amongst all participating clubs.
