Place & story
Names behind the photographs
Forewords published by East Cork GAA describe Tom Morrison’s work on the history of the Imokilly division, founded in 1924. Micheál Ó Briain recalls that Morrison continued the undertaking after the death of Paddy O’Driscoll, who had established its committee. The work included records of players who represented Cork, medal winners and photographs whose subjects had to be identified. It preserved the contributions of administrators and volunteers alongside the results of hurling and football teams. [2]
