    There's a great range of ages, some promising moustaches and some mature ones. They were no inter -cert classs at any rate. Look at the banding on the hurl of the young lad to the priests left? It is almost a lethal weapon with that metal banding. I had a hurl like that once and it was positively dangerous and a threat to life, it lasted for years but! The writing on the hurl held by the man third from the left in the middle row says "Coolagown" which is a place near Fermoy in Cork and seems to have had strong Waterford connections.

    Best to remember that it was a teacher training college and thus attracted students from all over. Funny though, most people in Waterford never use the word hurl, except when throwing things. Hurley is the preferred description, Perhaps that explains a lot?

    A wonderful old photo and taken at my old school. When I went here in the 70's there were boarders from all over the country there.

    Paul O'Farrell Ah, a De La Salle boy! And desmondg47 when did it stop being a teacher training college?

    I believe it was in 1936 when the Minister for Education Tom Derrig (FF) refused to have it made a constituent college of the NUI.

    A lovely family photo indeed! The lad on the right is growing out of his suit while the chap on the left reminds me of me when I was his age. Angelic on the outside...

    O Mac Sounds about right, as Tim Flood was born in 1927. From Ita Bailey's obituary, the kids are Martin, Tim and 2 of Ita, Nellie and Eilish. ETA: And the mother's name is Nora.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Martin Flood's obituary mentions that "He had one brother Tim, the famous inter-county hurler, and two sisters Ita and Nelly." He was 83 when he died in 2005, so he would have been born in 1922. So from left: Nora, Tim, Ita (standing), Nelly (sitting), Martin, Gerald.

    Castleboro was a demesne with a Big House just north of the village of Clonroche, 1900 acres at one time (OSI 25" link). The house is now a standing ruin (Bing aerial view) This is well after that house was burned in the Troubles in the early 20s.
