Micheál Cronin

Michael Cronin recalls his GAA experiences as a boy in Waterford, where he grew up during World War II. Resources were scarce but hurling was popular and Michael and his friends liked to play. When he was older he went to a Christian Brothers school in Dungarvan and played hurling there. He played on a Harty Cup team and recalls some of the games they played, as well as some memorable Waterford games and GAA figure. He later emigrated to London and whilst there saw Kilkenny play at Wembley Stadium. After a few years he moved to Dublin, becoming involved with the Raheny club and other organisations.
