Revived at Ballybrit, about three miles from Galway city, in 1869, the Galway Races has grown from a small country meeting into the fourth largest horse racing festival in the world. Its feature races--the Galway Steeplechase Plate and the Galway Hurdle--have a rich history, and owners, trainers, and jockeys love to have winners at Galway, where in those brief few minutes after the victory they all enjoy "one crowded hour of glorious life." This book contains an account of the origin and development of the Galway Races and people and horses that were part of this amazing story. Fred Cullen's feat of training all five winners on the card, the first English-trained winner at the meeting in 1904, the panic in Galway when the government announced the centralization of racing during the Great War, and the U-turn that followed when it was realized that the economy of the city depended on the races. The great Galway trainers, including Harry Ussher, Maxie Arnott, Dermot Weld, and Noel Meade; the leading owners, Charles Blake, Pansy Croft, Michael Smurfit; and the famous riders, including Gary Moore, Tommy Beasley, Joe Canty, and Michael Kinane all feature in this book. Events covered also include the winner of the Galway Hurdle that was disqualified because the owner did not pay the entry fee; the angry weather that caused the abandonment of the old Tuam program when run at Galway for the first time; and the changing face of Ireland in the early 1960s, which caught out the Race Committee.

This book is a revealing study of the cultural boundaries between the Kirwan family of Castlehacket, Co. Galway, and their tenants. The Kirwans, the only family among the merchant tribes of Galway to lay claim to Irish ancestry, were atypical landlords whose generosity and sense of justice was recorded in song and story. This study, drawing on local history, folklore and literature, charts the rise of the family from their 16th-century merchant origins through theÃ?Â?Ã?Â?religious conflicts of the 19th century to their eventual demise after the Civil War, and examines how the family wove themselves into the mythology of Knockma, the fairy hill at the centre of their north Galway estate, through their horseracing exploits. The study pays close attention to religious identity, drawing on local folklore to show that the bonds between landlord and tenant unravelled as the family grew close to Protestant evangelists in the 19th century.

Gaelic football has grown into a massive modern entertainment industry, celebrated on summer Sundays at Europe's third largest sports stadium. Yet it has retained a unique relationship with the often small local communities which sustain it. Gaelic footballers and their followers receive no payment, have no transfer system and remain loyal to their home counties as players and supporters. This is more than a sport – it is a subculture of its own, with songs, stories and ceremonies that are unique in the sporting world. In this fascinating book, Eoghan Corry charts the emergence of great Gaelic football teams, players and rivalries whose tactics brought success and whose innovations changed the sport itself. The History of Gaelic Football also outlines how the game became entangled in the political life of Ireland, tracing its course as it weaved and bobbed through political controversy, civil war and Ireland's rapidly-changing society over the course of the twentieth century. It recounts hilarious incidents from the history of Gaelic football, from invading crowds to crazy goals, detailing the rough, the tough and the bizarre that characterise the sport. Above all, it celebrates the players who bring entertainment, excitement and excellence, and who enrich the lives of ordinary people across Ireland and the world.
