The decision by the Donegal Board of the GAA to deposit its large collection of historical material to the County Archives was a foresighted and generous one. Donegal County Archives is all the richer in receiving its first major sporting collection which is of significance for the twentieth century history of Donegal and Irish sport. Furthermore, it must be acknowledged that this collection is also of great importance to people or institutions interested in studying the social history of the county through turbulent and crucial periods in Irish life over many decades. The collection’s contents are many and varied, from financial records to minutes of meetings, from photographs to posters and programmes, and are from all parts of the county. The Archives Service, Donegal County Council would like the thank the County Board of the GAA for the deposit of their archives with the Archives Service with special thanks to Charlie O’Donnell, former secretary of the Donegal County Board. Donegal County Archives is delighted to be the recipient of this collection and would particularly like to acknowledge the generosity of the Donegal Board of the GAA in depositing the archives. The Archives Service would like to acknowledge the hard work put into this project by Ms Ciara Joyce who researched and wrote the booklet and listed the entire collection.

More detailed accounts have been comprehensively researched and told by local historians and published in local and in national publications. I am heavily indebted to those authors for some of the information contained in this booklet. Only a small number of GAA officials have been mentioned in the text, those whose service is noted due to the number of years serving in a senior position. The GAA of course has been served diligently by large numbers of dedicated volunteers over the years, too numerous to mention in this brief introduction. 08 09 Archives of the Donegal Gaelic Athletic Association County Board THE FOUNDATION OF THE GAELIC ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION On the 1st of November 1884 a meeting took place in Hayes Commercial Hotel, Thurles, County Tipperary. In attendance were men of varying backgrounds and interests, who all had the desire to establish a national sporting body for the preservation and promotion of Gaelic Games. This historic meeting resulted in the establishment of the Gaelic Athletic Association for the Preservation and Cultivation of National Pastimes, An Cumann Lúthchleas Gael. Ireland in the late 19th Century: A number of issues dominated politics during the later 19th century in Ireland: the Land War, Parnell and the Irish Parliamentary Party, Home Rule and the rise of Nationalism. Hand in hand with events in the political arena a cultural renaissance was taking place in Ireland. This movement, called the Gaelic revival, included aspects of Gaelic culture, from language and literature, folklore and history to music and traditional sports. The formation of this national identity, which had its roots in ancient Ireland was generally romanticised by the literary movement of the time spearheaded by writers such as W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory. This image was of Ireland as a Gaelic nation with its own traditions, and would lead to the establishment of a number of organisations promoting this ideal in 19th century Ireland. The Gaelic Union was established in 1880 by Ulick Bourke (1829-87), one of the new idealists who sought to preserve Irish identity through the Irish language. The Gaelic Union would go on to form the foundations of the Gaelic League established by Douglas Hyde and Eoin MacNeill in 1893. The League aimed to promote the Irish language but also to unite Irish people of different religions and political loyalties in cultural activity. They believed that all members of Irish society, regardless of religion or political persuasion could be united under the common banner of language and culture. The Gaelic League spread successfully throughout Ireland and it is not surprising that many members of the GAA in the early years were also members of the Gaelic Union and League, with many of its members becoming founders of county boards of the GAA across the country. Many of the founding members of the GAA also had fenian sympathies or were supporters of the Home Rule movement. 10 Archives of the Donegal Gaelic Athletic Association County Board During this period there was a general fear of the anglicisation of Ireland and that native traditions were being lost. Organised sport emerged in England in the late 19th century. With migration back and forth between Ireland and Britain, English codes and games began replacing traditional games in Ireland. Soccer and cricket were popular among the middle classes and the native style of football was in decline. It was against this background that the GAA was formed in November 1884. Michael Cusack had long been involved with Gaelic games in Dublin and called for the Irish to take ownership of their own games. With the support of Maurice Davin they called the first meeting. Michael Cusack (NUIG) Cusack (1847-1906) was a school teacher from County Clare and himself a good athlete. While living in Dublin he became disillusioned with the established sports organisations, which excluded working people and did not include traditional sports. He himself was a native Irish speaker and a member of the Gaelic Union. In 1883, he helped establish the Dublin Hurling Club and later the Metropolitan Hurling Club. He increasingly began to believe that Irish sport needed its own organisation and drew support for his belief from a number of people including Maurice Davin. Davin (1842-1927) was a well known and successful athlete, born in County Tipperary. He supported Cusack’s call for a Gaelic games organisation and chaired the first meeting in Thurles, becoming the GAA’s first president. A natural administrator, he drafted the first constitution of the new body as well as drawing up early rules for football and hurling. Davin’s fame as an athlete (he had dominated Irish athletics from 1875-9) no doubt helped the organisation in those early months. Davin was also a moderate in his views on national politics, which helped balance out Cusack’s strong and sometimes overwhelming personality. There were also a number of I.R.B. members at the first meeting, despite an effort to keep politics out of the organisation and to make it allinclusive. In attendance in Hayes hotel were: John Wyse-Power (County Kildare, editor of the Leinster Leader), P.J. O’Ryan (County Kilkenny, Solicitor), John McKay (Reporter 11 Archives of the Donegal Gaelic Athletic Association County Board with the Cork Examiner), J.K. Braken (County Tipperary, Building Contractor), Thomas St. George McCarthy (Inspector in the RIC) and Patrick Duffy (County Mayo). The group also received 60 letters of support from people who could not attend the meeting including one from Michael Davitt. At the first meeting it was decided that the new sporting organisation would be open to all Irishmen, regardless of political persuasion, although its choice of patrons clearly indicated its political leanings. Thomas William Croke (1824-1902), Archbishop of Cashel and Emly; Charles Stewart Parnell (1846-1891), MP and member of the Irish Parliamentary Party and Michael Davitt (1846-1906) founder of the Land League, were invited to become patrons of the Association and undoubtedly their support helped greatly with its success in the early years. The GAA spread quickly and by 1887 there were 600 clubs affiliated, with Cusack travelling widely to promote the organisation. One of the reasons for the success of the organisation was Davin’s decision to divide the organisation along county and parish boundaries in 1887. This led to county and parish rivalries which helped bolster support for teams and promote pride in the successes of local teams. Clubs were based in local communities, giving them a strong footing from the beginning. Players played for fun, to escape the stress of everyday life, but also for the honour of representing their parish, becoming local heroes in the process. The support of the Catholic Church and Archbishop Croke’s patronage also helped. Early games held by the organisation showed up regional differences in Gaelic games and the need to standardise rules. The long tradition of hurling in Ireland had been in decline since the famine, and was still badly affected by emigration. Gaelic football was an amalgamation of a variety of traditional games, which was standardised for the first time by the Association. To turn traditional games into modern sports rules were drawn up, which were gradually accepted by teams across the country. Although athletics and handball were included in the GAA intended programme of games, they became overshadowed by hurling and football. Eventually athletics in Ireland were taken over by the National Athletic and Cycling Association (NACA) which was established in 1922, and the GAA focused on its more popular games. Ongoing championships encouraged pre-existing teams to join the GAA, as they needed to be affiliated to participate in competitions, therefore the numbers increased. Growth was so rapid that by 1887 there was a need to set up county committees. 12 Archives of the Donegal Gaelic Athletic Association County Board The first All-Ireland Championship took place in 1887, with Limerick winning the football title and Tipperary the hurling. The early years of the organisation and the spread of the GAA were not without its problems. Cusack’s confrontational manner had a tendency to alienate people and he was removed as secretary of the organisation in 1886. Davin also resigned in 1889 due to the increasing influence of the I.R.B. in the Association. He later served as a member of the Tipperary County Board in 1897. The organisation also came under criticism for its nationalist leanings. Rule 21, a ban on British security forces playing Gaelic games, was instituted in 1886 and not lifted until 2001. The biggest blow to the organisation in the 19th century however was the Parnell ‘split’ in the Irish Parliamentary Party, demonstrating how closely the fortunes of the Association were linked to politics. Parnell’s naming in a divorce petition by Captain O’Shea against his wife Katherine caused a huge scandal in Ireland. There was a split in the party between those who supported him and those who sought his resignation. This split extended to members of the GAA and caused a rift in the organisation that was slow to heal. A number of Parnell supporters left the Association, which meant that progress was slow in the 1890s, even after Parnell’s death in 1891. Early years of the 20th century: In the early years of the 20th century Gaelic games continued to increase in popularity and the games themselves took on a more familiar format, closely resembling the modern games. In 1905 the Railway Cup began followed by the Sigerson Cup (University Football Championship) and the Fitzgibbon Cup (University Hurling Championship) in 1911. In 1910 side posts (small posts five yards on either side of the goal posts) were abolished, followed in 1913 by the reduction of the number of players to 15 a-side. Most significantly, in 1913, the GAA purchased a field on Jones Road, Dublin, for the development of its headquarters, which they decided to name after the Association’s first patron, Archbishop Croke. The growth of the organisation in the 20th century was again stifled by social and economic factors beyond its control and external politics with the beginning of World War I in 1914. Many members were also members of the Irish Volunteers and supported John Redmond’s call to join the British army in support of Home Rule for Ireland, leaving the playing field for the front. Despite this a national day of demonstration of 13 Archives of the Donegal Gaelic Athletic Association County Board Archives of the Donegal Gaelic Athletic Association County Board the games was organised to help promote the Association. This was held on the 4th of August 1918 and became known as ‘Gaelic Sunday’. The spread of the railways, with the opening of new lines also helped the growth of clubs. It enabled clubs to travel for inter-county games and to access remoter parts of the country with greater ease. This was especially true in Donegal. Railway companies provided special trains, laid on for matches, enabling people to travel, with special fares offered as an enticement. Later 20th century: Despite the years of unrest brought by the War of Independence (1919-21) and the Civil War (1922-23), support for the GAA remained strong. In 1924 the Tailteann Games were held in Dublin to celebrate national independence. Croke Park was completely refurbished for the event and the games were a great success, the two week programme of Gaelic games drawing in huge crowds. In 1926 national leagues at inter-county level for football and hurling were introduced and by 1935, 1600 clubs were affiliated. However, the GAA continued to be criticised for what was seen as the promotion of a sectarian ethos. In the 1930s increasing efforts were made to enforce Rule 27, which forbade members of the GAA from playing in or even attending ‘foreign’ games (This rule was not abolished until 1971). Vigilance committees were established by county boards, to report on members breaking this rule. In 1938 Douglas Hyde, President of Ireland, was removed as patron of the organisation for attending a soccer match in his official capacity as President. This ban only helped to alienate sections of the community and to further associate the organisation with extreme nationalism. Many officials over the years objected to the exclusion of foreign games. Aspects of these excluding rules were relaxed in 1971 but it was not until 2007 that the ban on playing of games other than Gaelic games on GAA grounds was temporarily lifted (Rule 42), allowing the playing of rugby and soccer at Croke Park. Irish Language: From the beginning the GAA has been associated with the Irish language with a crossover of membership with the Gaelic Union. Cusack’s insistence on the use of the language by the Association has created a relationship at official level which has also been encouraged at club level by officials and players. Irish is used in reports, correspondence, at functions and by players accepting trophies. 14 Suggestions for promoting the Irish language in the Club Women and the GAA: Women have been involved in Gaelic games from the early years, although not in an official capacity. Many of these women were members of the Gaelic Union, similar to their male counterparts. Camogie clubs were established in Ireland in the early years of the 20th century with practices taking place in the Phoenix Park in Dublin. By 1904, five camogie clubs were playing in an organised league in Dublin. On the 25th of February 1905 An Cumann Camógaíochta was established, at North Fredrick Street, Dublin, with Máire Ní Chinnéide elected as its first president. The spread of the organisation was slow and it was decided to re-launch the Cumann in 1911 when Eleanor Dowager Countess of Fingal was appointed President and the game spread with greater success. The first official inter-county game was played in the summer of 1912 between Dublin and Louth, and the Ashbourne Cup, the oldest camogie competition, was established in 1915. 15 Archives of the Donegal Gaelic Athletic Association County Board Although the organisation was growing it was badly funded and progress was slow. It was not until the second re-launch of the Cumann Camógaíochta in 1932 that the organisation really established itself as a national body. The first camogie All-Ireland championship took place in 1932 and was won by Dublin. By the 1960s camogie was well established as a national sport, with leagues, championships, school and university competitions. THE GAELIC ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION IN DONEGAL Long before the famous meeting at Hayes Hotel in County Tipperary, Gaelic games had been played in Donegal. The origins of these games are uncertain but the presence of a 15th century grave slab in Clonca, near Carndonagh, depicting a camán and ball indicate a long tradition of the original forms of the game. Ladies Camogie Team Ninety years after the establishment of the GAA the Ladies Gaelic Football Association was established on the 18th of July 1974, in Hayes Hotel, Thurles. Ladies Gaelic football has gone from strength to strength with growing support for the games, helped no doubt by the sponsorship and televising of the games by TG4. The GAA today: The GAA is Ireland’s largest and most successful sporting organisation, which now has a worldwide presence, with clubs established by the Irish diaspora throughout the world. Many would say that the Association is intrinsic to Irish identity and most communities. Clubs are based in the communities and survive only because of the hard work of an army of volunteers with the GAA providing a social outlet for the community in return. GAA clubs are open to all, and the amateur nature of the organisation means that there are teams for all levels of ability. The social life that surrounds the clubs also means that those not interested in playing the games themselves become involved in events such as Scór (cultural competition established in 1969 for clubs to promote Irish culture, dancing and singing) and the under-age competitions, bringing children and their families in contact with the Association. Comórtas Peile na Gaeltachta also brings together people from gaeltacht areas, to share their common love of the games and the Irish language. 16 Archives of the Donegal Gaelic Athletic Association County Board There are reports of clubs in East Donegal as early 1888 in Burt and Newtowncunningham. These clubs played regional variations of the games different from the other clubs that also existed in the west of the county in places like Ardara, Inver, Kilcar and Donegal Town. In these areas camán, an early variation on the modern hurling game, was more popular than football. Camán, in east Donegal used a special type of hurley stick, known as the Burt hurley which had a narrow boss and ridge along the heel, whereas in the southern areas of the County a broad boss hurl was used. The earliest clubs established included the Burt Hibernians in 1888 as well as Cahir O’s in Buncrana. In 1899 a Gaelic football club was established in Bundoran called Irish Hearts. These early teams looked to Derry, where a County Board had been established in 1888; in fact the Burt Hibernians took part in the Derry hurling championship in 1889. The foundation of the GAA in 1884 had little impact in Donegal. Thurles was a long way from the North West and with poor communication and infrastructure Donegal had closer links to Scotland than it did to Munster. The First County Board Like the GAA nationally, the foundation of the GAA in Donegal had its roots in the Gaelic League. Seumas MacManus of Mountcharles, the well known writer and secretary of the Donegal Town branch of the Gaelic League, began a press campaign to bolster support for the establishment of the GAA in Donegal. His campaign was supported by the local clergy, which helped greatly. MacManus called the first meeting, which was held in MacIntyre’s Hotel (known as Cassie Mac’s), Mountcharles, on the 23rd of October 1905. MacManus chaired the meeting and the board were elected. The newly formed GAA chose the Rev. Dr. Patrick O’Donnell, Bishop of Raphoe as patron, Dr. Edward Maguire P.P. was elected president of the board. Other officials included 17 Archives of the Donegal Gaelic Athletic Association County Board Archives of the Donegal Gaelic Athletic Association County Board secretaries Alex McDyre, N.T. Kilraine (Glenties) and J. Dowds (Stranorlar), treasurer Rev. Charles Boyce C.C. and board members Edward Daly (Bundoran), John McGahern (Donegal Town) and P.M. Gallagher (Donegal Town). The County Board was divided into two for administrative purposes, east and west, and teams were given three weeks to affiliate with the newly established Board before leagues were drawn up. The west division included the areas of Croagh, Ardaghy, Inver, Mountcharles, Bundoran, Killybegs, Ballybofey and Donegal Town. The east division included Newtowncunningham, Burt, Gweedore, Fahan, Cresslough, Letterkenny and Churchill. MacManus had rules for playing Gaelic games published in the local press on the 28th of October 1905, with the Board issuing its manifesto a short while later. Initially the Association did quite well and early games were well attended. Support for the organisation was strong in particular in the south west of the county in Mountcharles, Donegal Town, Bundoran and Ballyshannon and in areas where there was already good support for organisations such as the Gaelic League, Cummann na nGaedheal (est. 1900, a nationalist political organisation) and the Ancient Order of Hibernians. The first football championship was held in 1906 and won by Lámh Deargs of Letterkenny. The Burt Hibernians won the County Hurling final and went on to win the Ulster Championship. Despite the initial good start to the Association, Gaelic games in the county could not compete with the popularity of soccer. Many Donegal people worked seasonally in Britain and brought the interest in soccer home with them. The county also presented many practical problems for the Association. It is physically a large county and transport was a problem. Board members also found it difficult to find time to attend meetings, the lifestyle at the time involving long working hours and little leisure time. Donegal also had other economic problems, with large numbers emigrating, especially among the youth of the county and the GAA lost these young potential players and supporters. This is a problem that would always affect the GAA in Donegal. Communication was also lacking between the two divisional boards in the county and a lack of cohesion between the activities of the two boards developed. Support from the clergy was also declining. Dr. Maguire became head of the newly established Saint Eunan’s College in Letterkenny and due to his commitments there was unable to devote the same time to the Association. The Rev. Hugh Maguire of Kilcar, who also had other commitments, replaced him as patron. The GAA, as an official body, began to go into decline. List of Inter-county Matches 18 19 Archives of the Donegal Gaelic Athletic Association County Board Seumas MacManus was elected president of the County Board in 1907 but spent much of his time in America, eventually becoming a Professor at the University of Notre Dame in 1908. Donegal GAA therefore lost one of its most influential supporters. The County Board had joined the Ulster Council in 1905 but it is unclear if the board received any real guidance from the council. Gaelic games continued as before at local level but without the guidance of a strong County Board. Competition at county level virtually ground to a halt and a number of clubs were disbanded. By 1909 the County Board seems to have ceased to exist. For ten years it looked like the GAA would remain dormant indefinitely in Donegal. The First World War (1914-1918) did not help the situation, as many young Donegal men joined up. The Reconvened County Board The Ulster Council/Comhairle Uladh had been established in 1903 in Armagh, part of the overall restructuring of the GAA and the establishment of Provincial Councils. In 1919 it held its annual convention in Derry and a number of Donegal delegates attended, sparking an interest in the Association in the county. The County Board was reconvened and held its first meeting in Letterkenny. Seán O’Flaherty, a native of Castlefin was elected chairman of the Board and John Curran of Letterkenny was appointed secretary. At the same time a Letterkenny man, Dr. McGinley, was elected vice - president of the Ulster Council. The foundation of the Donegal Democrat newspaper in 1919 helped bolster support for the reformed County Board and its reporting of the Association’s activities helped raise its profile in the county. Bundoran won the first County Championship of the reconvened County Board in 1919, having beaten Killygordan after two rematches. Killygordon however were victorious in the 1920 championship and apart from a break in 1950 and 1966 the championship has run successfully every year since. The War of Independence and the Civil War slowed progress of the Association and the backlog of games that built up over this period was not cleared until 1924. In the later 1920s however the GAA in Donegal really took off. There was an upsurge in nationalist feeling during this period and soccer was seen by many as a ‘foreign’ game, with people turning to Gaelic games for the first time. A number of other factors helped the Association gain a foothold in the community. The establishment of the 20 Archives of the Donegal Gaelic Athletic Association County Board Garda Síochána brought young men from around the country to Donegal, many of them Gaelic games players or supporters, bringing with them this tradition. New Clubs were formed in the county during this decade including Ardara (1921), Glenties (1921), Maghery (1923), Kilcar (1924) and Donegal Young Tír Conaills (1924). Aodh Ruadh’s of Ballyshannon was also re-launched in 1924 (originally First Ballyshannon Team to win the Donegal established in 1909), having been one Senior Championship, 1929 of the more prolific clubs during the years the County Board was dormant. The involvement of national school teachers also bolstered the numbers in the Association. At a meeting of the County Board in 1937 an appreciation of teachers’ ‘promotion and fostering of our gaelic games’ is recorded, demonstrating the value of their contribution which was recognised by the Board. The re-establishment of the Association was also helped by improvements in communications and transport links in the county. This enabled more people to travel to games, bringing Gaelic games to a wider audience and establishing it as a popular pastime. Seán MacCumhaill Two teams were established in the twin towns of Ballybofey and Stranorlar in the early years of the GAA, Éire Ógs in Ballybofey and Sarsfields in Stranorlar. The teams joined together in 1926 to form Erin’s Hopes, winning the Dr. McGinley cup in 1932 and 1940. In 1944 the club made efforts to secure a permanent home for its team by purchasing a field which was in the town boundary of Ballybofey, but the owner was unwilling to sell. During Civic Week celebrations in 1946, a friendly match was played on the site between Sligo and Donegal. The match was such a success that a Park Committee was set up to secure the field from its owner Mark Byrne, who eventually agreed to sell the site to the GAA. In May 1949, Seán MacCumhaill, the then secretary of the County Board died. MacCumhaill, a former teacher from Stranorlar, had become involved in national politics after witnessing the Bloody Sunday massacre in Croke Park in 1920. This involvement would continue for the rest of his life. He spent numerous periods in prison for his 21 Archives of the Donegal Gaelic Athletic Association County Board Archives of the Donegal Gaelic Athletic Association County Board activities and went on hunger strike in the Curragh. He was held in Drumboe Castle during the War of Independence and was again jailed from 1936-1941 for trying to resurrect a campaign against partition. MacCumhaill brought his high idealism to his involvement with the GAA in the county. He served as county secretary from 1946 until his death in 1949 at the age of 48. A local hero, it was decided to name the acquired grounds in Ballybofey after MacCumhaill. In 1956, the President of the GAA, Mr. Seán Mac Fearain, officially opened the grounds and a plaque in memory of the late Seán MacCumhaill was unveiled. Erin’s Hopes also changed its name to MacCumhaills. MacCumhaill Park is now Donegal GAA’s main grounds along with Fr. Tierney Park, Ballyshannon and O’Donnell Park, Letterkenny. Hurling in Donegal Growing interest in Gaelic football gradually eclipsed the popularity of hurling in Donegal in the 20th century. Despite this the game survived in the areas where it had always been strongest, in the east of the county. Over the years these 19th and early 20th century clubs continued to dominate the county Hurling club championships, and title holders included Aodh Ruadh’s (Ballyshannon), which won the championship 1924 and 1925, Letterkenny which won numerous times in the 1920s and 1930s and Burt, which dominated in the 1950s and 1960s. In more recent times it is Inishowen clubs that have fielded the strongest teams, including Burt, Naomh Mura and Carndonagh, with Setanta from Killygordon also coming to the fore. The most recent winners of the County Championship were Seán MacCumhaills, Ballybofey, which won the title in 2010. At inter-county level Donegal has had small but no less noteworthy success, particularly at junior level. Burt began by beating Antrim in the 1906 Hurling championship (the county club champions representing the county at the time). The Donegal team would again beat Antrim in the Ulster final in 1923 and 1932 and win Ulster titles in 1947, 1948, 1972, 1989, 2001 and 2003. Donegal continues to play in Division 3 of the National Hurling League and in the Lory Meagher Cup. In 2011, after reaching the final for the third consecutive year, Donegal won the Lory Meagher Cup, beating Tyrone in the final, on the 4th of June with a final score of 2-12 to 0-17. Members of the Board The County Board and Donegal GAA were driven forward by a number of officials in the 1920s, including Seán O’Flaherty, P.J. Ward and John Curran. P.J. Ward of Killybegs served as chairman of the County Board for this period of growth from 1923-24, 22 Donegal County Board letterhead followed by Seán Cassidy who served from 1925-1930, by which time the GAA was firmly established in the heart of the community in Donegal. In 1933, the County Board reorganised the divisional boards. The County was divided into West Donegal, East Donegal, South-West Donegal, North Donegal and South Donegal, each with its own divisional board, demonstrating how complex the administration of the Association had become, growing continuously in the ten years since the War of Independence. Members of the board who were prominent in the 1930s include Seán Kennedy (Secretary 1934-1937, Chairman 1939-1940) and Donal Ward (Secretary 1938-1943) followed by men such as Seán MacCumhaill in the later 1940s. Hugh Daly would take over as secretary after the death of Seán MacCumhaill and remains the longest serving secretary of the County Board, seeing to the administration of the board until his death in 1973. Seán Conaghan (Glenties) and Seán Cassidy (Dungloe) were both long serving treasurers of the board from 1926 to 1946. They were followed in the 1950s and 1960s by other dedicated members, Conall Ferry (Gweedore) and Danny Boyle (Glenties). The first woman to serve as secretary of the board was Noreen Doherty, who took over the position in 1991. Championships In 1926 the County Board decided to set up the Dr. Maguire Cup, which from 1927 was presented to the County Champions. The Donegal Democrat also presented a league championship cup to the County Board in 1926. In 1931 the minor championship began. The Dr. McKenna Cup (Corn Dr. Mhic Cionnaith) began in 1927. This football 23 Archives of the Donegal Gaelic Athletic Association County Board competition was played between Ulster Counties (and later also by the Universities in the Province). The cup had been donated to the Ulster Council in 1924 by the Rev. Dr. McKenna. Donegal had to wait until 1963 to bring the cup home, but has since won the competition numerous times. The Dr. Lagan Cup (Corn Dochtúir Uí Lagáin) was another inter-county football competition in Ulster, limited to five Ulster Counties. Donegal won the cup four times, in 1952, 1965, 1966 and 1967, after which the competition was discontinued. In club football, over three decades the game went from strength to strength. Successful teams included Ardara in the 1920s with Ballyshannon and Dungloe dominating in the 1930s. Gweedore won the championship four Match Programme, 1957 years in a row from 1944-1947. Dungloe and St. Eunans, Letterkenny dominated in the following decade before MacCumhaill’s came to the fore in 1959. In 1969 a new competition got off the ground, spearheaded by Anthony O’Carroll from Gweedore and his friend from Kerry, Anthony de Bairéad. The two college friends, in a desire to bring football teams from Gaeltacht areas together, arranged a match between Gweedore and Ballyferriter, County Kerry, to be played in Gweedore in January 1969. The meeting was such a success that it was decided there and then to set up a competition for Gaeltacht teams, and Comórtas Peile na Gaeltachta began, with Gweedore man Seán Delap elected president. To date Gweedore has won the competition a total of seven times. Archives of the Donegal Gaelic Athletic Association County Board Anthony Molloy, beat Dublin, 18 points to 14 in the All-Ireland final. The momentous reception that the Sam Maguire Cup and the victorious team received upon their arrival in Donegal is an indication of what the win meant to GAA supporters in Donegal and how much the Association has become part of the fabric of the community. More recently the county team won the National Football League Division 1 title, the first senior Donegal team to win the title, beating Mayo at Croke Park on the 22nd of April 2007. In 2011 Donegal also won its first Ulster Senior Football Championship in nearly two decades. The county team broke a nineteen year drought in the championship by beating Derry with a final score of Donegal 1-11 Derry 0-8. Role of the GAA It is impossible to sum up in a few short lines what the GAA means to people across the county. It is an intrinsic part of Irish society, in existence for a relatively short 127 years but so embedded is it in local communities it gives the impression of always having been there. It is perhaps better to rely on the words of a Donegal man who clearly held Gaelic games close to his heart. ‘They are more than mere games played for relaxation or amusement, although they adequately fulfil both these desirable purposes. They are an expression of the characteristics of our race, the motivating spirit of our being, and it is in that spirit they should be played – that spirit of rivalry, combined with the sense of comradeship of the Gael. We are the Guardians of great treasures – treasures that are of the spirit rather than of material things. Let us do all we can to promote the games, the language, the music, the traditions – the culture of the Gael. By doing so we can live up to the high ideals set up by the illustrious founders of the G.A.A.’ Sean MacCumhaill (1901 –1949) The county team has had numerous successes over the years, including winning the Ulster Senior Football Championship in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s as well as a number of victories in the Dr. McKenna Cup and titles in the Minor league, Under 21 and school competition level. All-Ireland titles were won in the Vocational Schools Football Championship in 1984, 1985, 1995, 1996 and in 2002 as well as Under 21 football championships in 1982 and 1987. The GAA in Donegal however, had to wait until 1992 for an All-Ireland Senior Football title. Donegal, captained by Ardara player 24 25 Archives of the Donegal Gaelic Athletic Association County Board The Archives of the Donegal GAA County Board : An Introduction The Archives of the Donegal GAA County Board were deposited with the Archives Service of Donegal County Council in July 2006. This significant collection dating from 1927 was in the care of the then County Secretary, Charlie O’Donnell, who, recognising the value of the collection sought a permanent home for the archives. With funding from the Heritage Council, the collection has now been catalogued and is available for research at the Archives Service in Lifford. The Collection: This collection, dating from 1927 to 2009, contains a wide variety of material, reflecting the range of activities of the GAA in the county. The records of administration include minute books, correspondence, financial records and numerous reports, which reflect the inner working of the board. A large number of records also exist from the various committees of the County Board, including the regional boards, minor and hurling boards and also the Parks Committee and Oifigeach na Gaeilge. The earliest document in the collection is a correspondence book with copies of outgoing correspondence written by Secretary Seán Ó Caiside, covering the period 1927-1937 (GAA/1/6/2). Letters include references to fixtures, teams, players and grievances. The GAA in Donegal really took root in the 1920s and the bulk of administrative material in the collection dates from the 1930s onwards. It is unfortunate that no material from the early years of the Association in the county has survived as part of the official collection, especially from the years 1905-1907 when the first County Board was established. It is possible that this material was lost when the Association went into decline in Donegal. Archives from the turbulent years of 1919-27 are also missing. It is possible that material from this period survives in private hands and will come to light at a later date. A large amount of material has survived from the 1930s, particularly from 1933. This material relates primarily to Seán Conaghan, treasurer of the County Board from 1925-1933, and includes invoices and correspondence. A large amount of financial material from the later 1930s and 1940s, relating to Seán Ó Caiside’s term as treasurer, has also survived. As well as administrative material at a county level the collection also contains a small amount of material from eight clubs in Donegal. Material includes programmes, 26 Archives of the Donegal Gaelic Athletic Association County Board correspondence and yearbooks from Ardara, St. Michaels (Dunfanaghy) Kilcar, Red Hughs (Ballyshannon), Saint Nauls (Inver) and Four Masters (Donegal Town). Material produced by the GAA at national level also forms part of the collection. This includes circulars, rule books, fixtures booklets, programmes and reports. Most notable is the report of the GAA commission set up under the 1969 convention motion, to investigate all aspects of the affairs of the Association with special reference to: the structure of the Association at all levels, financial management, youth, grounds, communications, hurling, discipline and sponsorship (GAA/10/6). Programmes for matches are the most numerous of documents in the collection, amounting to over 300 items. These programmes cover club matches, for leagues and championships as well as programmes for Ulster and All-Ireland matches and from the National football league. A small number of programmes covering hurling matches are also preserved in the collection. As well as providing details of individual matches these programmes also tend to publish additional information, for example histories of clubs or the games in a given area or time period as well as biographical details about players and officials. Early programmes generally consist of one printed page but the programmes become more detailed over the years. Other ephemera includes tickets for matches and officials’ passes, invites, posters and souvenirs of dinner dances and fundraising events. Other publications include yearbooks and annuals, newsletters and magazines, histories and books of GAA facts as well as commemorative publications produced to mark anniversaries, openings of club grounds, winning teams and of course the centenary of the GAA in 1984. The collection also contains material relating to Comórtas Peile na Gaeltachta, the Marion Camogie Club, (Ballybun, Castlefin) Handball, Scór na nÓg as well as a large selection of newspapers, including special supplements produced to mark the All-Ireland Senior Football title win in 1992. Anthony Molloy receives the Sam Maguire Cup, 1992 27 Archives of the Donegal Gaelic Athletic Association County Board Archives of the Donegal Gaelic Athletic Association County Board Also of interest is the substantial amount of financial material from the 1930s. Invoices from this period show the day to day workings of the organisation. The sheer number of invoices for transport demonstrates how difficult it was to transport players and officials to matches. The majority of these invoices are from local businesses providing a picture of services available in the towns at this time. One document of particular interest is a letter from the Garda Síochána in Letterkenny from the 16th of November 1933 stating that the GAA owes money to a number of businesses in the town and the merchants are looking to be paid. This letter also includes a full list of businesses and the money owed to them (GAA/1/5/3/2/2(20)). Comórtas Peile na Gaeltachta Programme / Ardara Yearbook / Centenary Programme Unfortunately less than a dozen photographs are preserved in the collection. The Archives Service is hopeful of acquiring donations of photos from GAA enthusiasts in the future. Archives of note include the County Board minute books dating from 1933-1996. These minute books are of key importance to the history of the County Boards. Information recorded includes reports of the divisional secretaries, finances, fixture lists, election of officers to the board, training and referees’ reports. Also of interest are the Annual Convention reports, detailing the annual progress of each committee and plans for the continued development of the Association. These reports were an opportunity for committee members to highlight their successes and also to voice their frustrations over things that needed improving. Other items of importance include printed bye-laws of the Donegal GAA dated 19281932, published by the Donegal County Board. This document includes an article entitled ‘Our Gaelic Games’ from the Derry People, a list of officials of the County Board as well as a list of affiliated clubs and their kit colours. It also contains a detailed list of rules and bye-laws and also a list of inter-county matches participated in since the reorganisation of the Association in 1919 (GAA/4/1). 28 Arrangement This collection has been arranged with the original order and structure in mind. Where possible the collection has been left as officials of the board created them, for example correspondence for the treasurer of the board is separate from the general correspondence, which would have been received by the county secretary. This is how the collection came to the Archives and when possible little or no changes have been made. In the same vein, material has been arranged by its creating committee or board or by function. Within these groups documents are arranged by document type and then placed in chronological order. The majority of the documents relate to football. A small number of items relating to other games have been separated out and listed under hurling, camogie, ladies football and handball. As Irish is the official language of the organisation, a significant amount of the collection is in Irish. Published material is generally in both English and Irish although some material is in Irish only. There is a variation in the spelling of certain placenames or clubs in the Irish language material. Where this is the case the material has been listed with the name as it appears on the document. Material has Young Camogie Players 29 Archives of the Donegal Gaelic Athletic Association County Board Archives of the Donegal Gaelic Athletic Association County Board also been listed with the Irish title if the document is titled in Irish. The research potential of this collection is inherent. The documents contained in the archives give a unique insight into the working of the organisation at county level and show its development over time. They are also a valuable piece of local history, recording the activities of local members, teams, clubs, volunteers and businesses which provided services or sponsorship to the Association.
