It looks like Killkenny Beat Tipperary 4-2 to 2-6 though the date I see is 9 Sept. but the reliabilty is suspect (from Wikipedia as the GAA website is awful). Wikipedia seems to be calling it the 1922 Championship but played in 1923 (as I first looked up the 1923 Champioship which they say was played in 1924 - arghhh).

murphman61 Arghh, indeed! Now you see why I gave up in all the confusion. Oddly though, our metadata says that Kilkenny were at Croker to play Dublin - would you say that's wildly inaccurate? Dating, etc. usually pretty good on these W.D. Hogan photos.

That might be at the Leinster Final. Wiki, again, shows Kilkenny winning Leinster in both 1922 and 1923 with Dublin shown as runner-up the same years. The Kilkenny website has them winning All-Ireland in 1922 (maybe Wiki WAS right after-all in saying the 1922 Final was held in 1923 - doesn't make much sense but maybe the whole set-up was much different) Wow, I had no idea it was so difficult just to find a good list of champions and Finals. The GAA needs to find a good website developer.

murphman61 Wondering if 1922 Final may well have been played in 1923 because of Irish Civil War??

If memory serves me right (No! I was not around then) from reading about All Ireland's in the past the World War, the Troubles(?) and the Civil War had thrown things out of kilter around that time. So it is logical to think that the finals were delayed. There was also the small matter of Bloody Sunday which would not have helped?

Depending on how badly weathered that chap beside the captain is, and assuming it's his own name on the stick, he's one of two people: John Feehan or Edward Feehan: www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/results.jsp?searchM...

With a bit of faff, we can see that the captain's stick is called Baker. Possibly also the captain. If we limit ourselves to Waterford City (no idea where this crowd were based, but Feehan is in the city), he's 20-ish year old Thomas Baker. www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/results.jsp?census_...

derangedlemur As they won the Waterford Hurling Championship they're based in Ferrybank.

Sharon Corbet It's a bit of schlepp up from John's hill or Kneef's Lane but not so far that you'd rule it out. The lads are clearly less lazy than me or they wouldn't be playing hurling.

This is the only Hector in Waterford City in the census.

Bob Mockler was the Dublin Captain on the day. I was at Croke Park yesterday - still very disappointed by the result.

Don't forget. EDIT Found this about the above photo. Michael Collins addresses the Kilkenny team before the Leinster Final against Dublin, Sept 1921. From left: Paddy Donoghue(Dicksboro), Mattie Power(Dicksboro), Dick Grace(Tullaroan), Michael Joyce(Callan), Martin Egan(Threecastles), Bill Kenny(Lisdowney), Jack Holohan(from Johnstown, played with Tullaroan), Michael Collins and Harry Boland. Collins and Boland(Chairman, Dublin County Board and Sinn Féin TD for Roscommon), though great friends, found themselves on opposite sides in the Civil War which would claim both of their lives within a year.

Mockler Played for Tipperary in his early career and Dublin later on. Note it was a Seventeen man game then!!!. We have come across Mr Mockler before. Robert "Bob" Mockler (born 1885) was an Irish hurler who played as a midfielder for the Tipperary and Dublin senior teams from 1909 until 1924. Mockler made his first appearance for the Tipperary team during the 1908 championship and was a regular member of the starting seventeen for the next few seasons. He subsequently enjoyed a decade long career with Dublin before retiring from the game after the 1924 championship. During that time he won three All-Ireland medals, five Leinster medals and one Munster medal.[1] Mockler captained Dublin to the All-Ireland title in 1920. Mockler began his club career with Horse and Jockey before later winning six county championship medals with Faughs in Dublin from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Mockler

DannyM8 Hadn't forgotten, just really liked this one. Saw blurry photo of Bob Mockler somewhere, and I've put a note on who I think he might be in the shot - absolutely willing to be corrected!

I think that is Bob to the Right of Collins see and
