Place & story
Facilities before the united club
Tipperary GAA’s Lattin–Cullen history dates the acquisition of playing grounds to 1949 and the opening of Canon Ryan Memorial Hall to 24 March 1957. It credits committee members with building the hall voluntarily. Both milestones preceded the 1961 formation of the united club from the parish’s earlier Lattin, Cullen and Shronell teams. [2]
Two brothers remembered differently
Jackie Hannon compiled a history of Gaelic games in Lattin and Cullen covering 1886–2000. The club account distinguishes his contribution as a historian from the person commemorated in its grounds’ name: Hannon GAA Park honours his brother Jimmy, remembered as a player, mentor and administrator. [2]
A walking route around the pitch
In 2020 volunteers developed a walkway around the playing field. Work began in July, with the lights switched on in October. The club’s account describes the project as entirely self-funded, with committee members and past and present players contributing. It added a use for the grounds beyond matches and training. [2]
