Oral History

Members of Toomevara GAA Club

The group discusses Toomevara tradition and history as a hurling club. They remember the great characters involved in the club and the great successes they enjoyed. They pay particular attention to 1960 and 2001, when Matt and Tommy respectively, captained the club to a County Title and led Tipperary to All-Ireland success. They emphasise the importance of the underage structures they have in place, and the impact this has had on their senior teams. Neil describes the devlopment of the juvenile section of the club and his role in it. Willie sings songs at regular intervals throughout the interview and they also read passages and poems from the club history. Throughout, they establish a sense of continuity and of community within the club, from its establishment in 1885 to the present day.
