Derrydonnell Senior Hurling Champions 1911
Home » Other Publications » Publication
“There was great jubilation in Derrydonnell last Sunday night, bonfires and torches blazed in all directions to greet the hurlers who defeated Claregalway… a meeting was held at which team captain Patrick Keane, in a few well chosen words thanked the members of the team for bringing home honours. They fought some tough struggles during the year and he felt sure none of them wondered at their success today. Regret was expressed on all sides at the accident that befell Jack Ruane in the first few minutes of the game and the team were unamimous that were it not for the accident the score would be much larger. After the meeting the team adjourned to where the cailíní were assembled and a dance was held in honour of the event that lasted until the small hours of the morning.” The Connacht Tribune
