GAA 125th Anniversary Celebrations
Micheal Hogan Memorial Weekend in Grangemockler GAA Club
The small Tipperary village of Grangemockler takes centre stage in the GAA’s 125th anniversary celebrations on the weekend of May 16/17. A weekend of events is being organised by Grangemockler, the home club of Michael Hogan who was buried in the village following the events of Bloody Sunday 1920.
The celebrations start with a commemorative mass in memory of Michael Hogan which will take place in St Mary’s Parish Church in Grangemockler at 7.00pm and a wreath-laying service directly after mass.
A historical talk on the history of the GAA and the events of Bloody Sunday will also take place on Saturday evening at 8.30pm in the new Sports Hall. Speakers include historians, Vincent Comerford, Prof. Paul Rouse & William Murphy.
The highlight of the weekend’s activities takes place on the Sunday with a commemorative plaque to Michael Hogan being unveiled by Uachtarán Chumann Lúthchleas Gael, Criostóir Ó Cuana at 6.00pm.
Two exciting challenge matches take place either side of the unveiling with a football match between great rivals Kerry and Dublin at 4.30pm. Jack O’Connor and Pat Gilroy will again lock horns following their recent exiting league draw. The second match between Brian Cody’s triple All-Ireland winners Kilkenny and Liam Sheedy’s Tipperary will commence at 6.30pm.
These two matches come at a crucial time for teams that find themselves at an advanced stage of their championship preparations and the respective management teams will be anxious to put the finishing touches to their championship line ups.
Admission to the games is by cash payment, adults €15, senior citizens €10 and under 16’s free of charge.
A great weekend is promised for young and old with the emphasis on the pride and passion of club and community which is central to the ongoing success of the GAA.
