Back Issues
Welcome to The Green and White Website
Compiling The Green and White Magazine gives us a unique insight into how Cumann na mBunscol works in Limerick. Without a doubt, it is a vibrant organisation that’s going from strength to strength. Compared to 16 years ago, when The G&W was a raw baby with 16 small (but very cute) pages, there is so much going on nowadays that a monthly magazine treble the size wouldn’t do the Cumann’s activities justice. (Finances, however, dictate that it makes more sense to continue with the G&W’s policy of issuing one magazine per term, for the time being).
Secretaries
Secretaries in each division are working around the clock to ensure the successful roll-out of new competitions, Go-Games blitzes and other exciting initiatives. Their diaries are chock-a-block with notes in the section marked ‘Things To Do’. There are fields and referees to be booked, medals to be bought, reports to be written, fixtures to be arranged, results to be gathered, and meetings to be called. Information must be communicated to all the relevant people—and e-mail, snail mail and telephone calls have to be dealt with. Our Cumann na mBunscol secretaries and the teachers, coaches, parents and other volunteers who work to ensure Gaelic games are played and enjoyed in our schools must not be taken for granted. The value of their work is inestimable. The value of saying ‘thank you’ should not be underestimated.
‘Gooch’, Gavin & Graeme
In this issue, readers get a fascinating insight into one of the icons of Gaelic games, Colm ‘Gooch’ Cooper. ‘Gooch’ visited Ballybrown NS this term and our young reporters were on hand to bring you the full story. We also feature a trip to Ethiopia undertaken by Limerick senior hurlers, Gavin O’Mahony and Graeme Mulcahy. In the process we learn about a very worthwhile initiative known as, Playing for Life.
School & Divisional Competitions
Features on the Sarsfield Cup, Larkin Shield, Celtic Image Shield, Ard Scoil Ris Hurling Academy Tournament and the County Football Shield await you inside. As usual, we publish a comprehensive list of results from the County’s four divisions—and more team and school-group photos than you could shake a long stick at!
And the Rest...
That’s right, there are puzzles, cartoons, interviews and articles you won’t find anywhere else in this, the 47th issue of Limerick’s favourite sports magazine. Míle buíochas to all who helped with the compilation of this issue in any way.
Luimneach Abú!
