The history of O’Loughlin Gaels has been put into print with the launch of a new book detailing their Gaelic Games life.

The Gaels clubhouse was the venue for the unveiling of Under One Banner, a detailed history of O’Loughlins as written by dedicated clubman Conor Denieffe.

The current club PRO undertook the task of compiling the workings of the city club which was formed in 1969. Over the course of the project, which is detailed through its 330 pages, the story begins with the formation and carries right through to the present day. Under One Banner tells of the many games, the scores, the players and personalities, the triumphs and celebrations along with the setbacks and disappointments as the club grew to what it is today.

The book covers all aspects and activities of the club over the years from hurling and Gaelic football to camogie and handball along with primary schools. It also relates the story of the development of St John’s Park, the home of O’Loughlins.

The book is available to buy from the O’Loughlins clubhouse bar and local bookshops.
