Over at the ICU site there’s a fascinating report from Mark Orr, on a hitherto unknown trove of photographs, mostly of the Dublin zonal in 1957, belonging to Joe Keenan and discovered this year by his relative John Shearan (Malahide C.C.).
A summary wouldn’t do this collection justice: take a look for yourself at the link above. My favourite is the one of Pal Benko and Ken O’Riordan at Portmarnock beach on the rest day, with the photo of the participants at An Tóstal, Dublin 1956 a close second.
I also love the way player nationalities at the zonal are given as Gaeilge.
