Oral History

Declan O'Brien, Shane Crean and Enda Gorman

Shane Crean, Enda Gorman and Declan O'Brien tell the story of Prague Hibernians, the club in the Czech Republic which they helped to start. They talk about the beginnings of the club and the search for players, training facilities, sponsors and competitive games. A young club in relation to some its European counterparts, there are many struggles in order to make it sustainable. Competitive games are essential if players are to maintain their commitment, and it is important to try and involve more Czech people as this would ensure that the club has a stable future. Shane, Enda and Declan are fiercely committed to making Prague Hibernians a success. There is no room for complacency but they are more than happy to give it their all, as their GAA experiences abroad in the short space of time that the cub has been in existence have given them memories that they treasure dearly.
