Programme 2023.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8th 

"Cricket in South Meath, 1860-1950"
is the topic of the next Meath Archaeological and Historical Society lecture which will take place on Wednesday 8 November at 7.30pm in the Oak Centre, Dunboyne (off Maynooth Road, beside St Peter's Church of Ireland). The speaker is Adam Burke, MA, a native of Rathcore and teacher at Coláiste na Mí, Johnstown, Co. Meath. Adam's research, as documented in his recent publication,  Wielding the Willow, has opened up the history of cricket in south Meath, revealing a game that "extended beyond the preserve of the elite" and became the game of the farm labourer and general labourer in the decades after the Great Famine and well into the 20th century.  
All welcome.
