Passion and history unite in this account of Gaelic games at the
University of Limerick and its predecessors on the Plassey campus,
the National College of Physical Education, Thomond College of
Education and the National Institute of Higher Education. It is a
story of forging an identity in challenging institutional and
sporting contexts. The Plassey clubs were clearly different from
community-based GAA clubs but at their foundations were the
Association's traditional spirit and ethos. The strength of the UL
club is testament to the rich history that it has inherited.
Plassey's Gaels have known glory and failure, joy and heartbreak.
The brilliant Thomond team of 1977 - 78 won All-Ireland club
football honours. Among the club's sweetest victories was the
Fitzgibbon Cup hurling triumph of 1989, having previously been
denied access to the premier intervarsity competitions. There have
been emotive boardroom wrangles and off-field controversies. Some
of the finest players of the modern era have the worn the jerseys
of NCPE, Thomond, NIHE and UL, including Pat Spillane, Brian
Mullins, Fiona O'Driscoll and Seamus Hickey. The campus has evolved
dramatically over the last forty years but the collegial experience
has remained constant and essentially undiluted. It is about love
of the games, camaraderie and friendship.
