This is likely a photo of the Cavan football team at the time of their Gaelic football match against Leitrim in 1914. The New York Times reported the match as part of the Fifteenth Annual Games of Local 20, International Union of Steam and Operating Engineers, held at Celtic Park (Queens) on Sunday, July 26, 1914. The next photo in the LOC stream, captioned "Leitrim football (soccer) teams (LOC)" depicts the Leitrim team photographed at the same time. In the background of the Cavan team photo (above) is a Leitrim player in a striped LYM shirt, looking on.

How do other people feel about looking at photographs from the distant past when you know everyone has long since passed away? For some reason old sport team pictures really bring a sense of my own mortality to the forefront of my consciousness. Life is precious and only temporary.

Is it certain this is a soccer team and not a Gaelic football ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaelic_football ) team? There are too many players for it to be soccer.
