    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?
  • desmondg47 said:
    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.

    Hugganstown GAA were to merge with in 1928 in commemoration of the Battle of Carrickshock in December 1831. Carrickshock won the All-Ireland Inter Club Hurling Championships in 2017.
  • Deirge Del said:
    Just noticed the date of this photo was seemingly at the end of the year before the amalgamation in 1928, this piece seems to give some background to events in December 1927.

    The "suspenders" remind me of the adverts for Threadgolds Thoroughgrip Garterettes which were a feature of the newspaper columns of Beachcomber (no relation?) and the radio and TV programs they inspired
    A dustman was emptying dustbins
    In the heart of a horrible slum,
    Where no Viscount's white foot had e'er trodden
    And no Marquess would venture to come.

    How taut were the socks of that dustman
    Would show that he didn't forget
    The people's best friend in all troubles
    Threadgold's Thoroughgrip Garterette.
