Oral History

Jimmy Gray, Cathal Ó Feinneadha and Bertie O'Boyle

Jimmy Gray, Cathal Ó Feinneadha and Bertie O'Boyle revisit the origins of their club, Na Fianna. Formerly known as CJ Kickhams, the new club was formed after a dispute which was followed by an acrimonious split. They three recall the ins and out of that split, discussing in detail how it originated and who the central players were. They also describe how the new club got off the ground - fielding teams, raising funds, securing grounds and enlisting members. They talk about their own playing days and the characters they encountered along the way as a new community was forged by the members of the nascent Na Fianna.
