Front row, L.-R.: W. Davis, John McMahon, Art Coldrick, Paul Cassidy
John McMahon sent me the very nice photo above in March, from the O’Connell’s School Yearbook of 1958. That season marked the fourth time in ten years that O’Connell’s had won; as John remarked, in those days O’Connell’s and Synge St. dominated.
The front row has three of the Glorney Cup team of 1958, which became the first Irish team ever to win the Cup, finishing ahead of Wales and Scotland; England had, controversially, decided not to participate.
