Ohio High School Football 1904 [Reference: Compiled from 1-9]

Report

The Ohio High School Football season of 1904 included one match with a team called Haggerty’s Colts, which was possibly an Irish Youth Club or School Team. The Colts defeated Oberlin High 6-0.

At the time American Football was still known as Gridiron due the way the pitch was marked out in a grid-like pattern and the Ohio League in Professional Football was the top League in America, although it did not yet rival College Football in terms of talent and crowd draw.

Players frequently played for High Schools, Colleges and Pro Teams in the same season, as there were no rules governing player transfers or Official Governing Bodies for any grade.

Western Pennsylvania Pro Football Circuit 1896 [References: 1]

Report

The Western Pennsylvania Pro Football Circuit (American Football) of 1896 was a three-way duel between Greensburg AA Greenies, Latrobe AC and Duquesne Country & Athletic Club Red & Black. While there were other teams playing in the circuit, and the Allegheny AA made a brief appearance after being banned in 1895 by the Amateur Athletic Union for paying players, the AAA only made two appearances, back to back in midweek in November, and the other teams were no match for the top three.

The Washington & Jefferson Presidents and West Virginia University Mountaineersalso played a significant part of their schedule in the Pittsburgh and surrounding areas, with WVU picking up one win from its two games with Latrobe AC and a tie from its two with Duquesne C&AC. W&J managed to go undefeated in its games with the Athletic Clubs, tying with Pittsburgh AC and gaining a win against both DC & AC and PAC.

The Allegheny Athletic Club, which also featured Cycling and Athletics teams, which resigned from the AAA over the Football scandal, the entire club being banned by the AAU, leaving the Football players who made history by pooling their money to play as the first openly-pro Football team in the country. Under “Sport” Donnelly (an Irish name) they paid for the best players out of Chicago, as well as enticing the first unofficial pro, “Pudge” Heeffelfinger, back from the Eastern Colleges, as they scheduled two matches back to back on 10th and 11th of October against two of the top Western Pennsylvania “local” teams, Duquesne C&AC (winning 12-0) and Pittsburgh AC (winning 18-0). after this they all went back to Chicago or the East.

Pittsburgh AC were a shadow of their former selves, apparently out drinking the night before matches, which showed in their final record of 2 Wins 5 Losses and 3 Ties. It was down to a series of games between Greensburg AA, Latrobe AC and Duquesne C&AC for the right to call themselves Western Pennsylvania or “Pro” Champions. Greensburg AA had lost to Duquesne C&AC on 21st November (18-4) but defeated Latrobe AC twice, the second in the last weekend of November by a score of 10-0. However, the DC & AC had lost two late season games against Allegheny AA and then on Thanksgiving to Washington & Jefferson.

The Final Record of the “Big Four” was Greensburg AA Greenies 6-1-1, Latrobe AC 6-3-0, Duquesne C&AC Red & Black 6-3-1 and Pittsburgh AC East Enders 2-5-3. With Allegheny AA fielding players from the Chicago Area, and only scheduling two matches, the victory over Greensburg on 21st November was enough to give them bragging rights among the “Big 4” but the loss to William & Jefferson the following Thanksgiving meant they were only second best among “local” Western Pennsylvania teams, and Greensburg AA had only the one loss, so it was inconclusive as to which team could claim the title.

Ashbourne Shrovetide Football (Derbyshire Medieval Football)

Report

According to historical sources, Roman Legions played their British counterparts in a game of Football on Shrove Tuesday in Derby in 217 AD, with the Britons winning. It is hard to believe that Ancient Britons, still Celtic, and before the arrival of both Ango-Saxon tribes in England, and also before the arrival of Christianity played a game on a day associated with Lent in the Christian calendar.

Maybe the game was played and later Christian legend ascribed it to Shrove Tuesday, or it was warfare which the Britons won, and was thus later made out to be a Football game by Christian scribes. Nevertheless, whether it was warfare or Football the Celtic Britons won that day.

It is interesting to note the game was played in Derby, given that this is the name given to local rivalries in English and Scottish Soccer (e.g. Liverpool v Everton, Manchester United v Manchester City), and that a game known as Shrovetide Football is still played in Derbyshire to this day, in Ashbourne, with no rules and the same Medieval mob aspect to the game as the other Medieval British Football games.

Kirkwall Ba’ Game (Orkney Medieval Football)

About

The Orkney Ba’ game is played on Christmas Day and New Years’ Day each year in Kirkwall, Orkney Islands, in the North sea off Scotland. It is a Medieval Football game played with a Ba’ (Ball made of cork and covered with leather). two opposing sides, the Uppies and Doonies (those born to the North of the Cathedral are Doonies and those born to the South of the Cathedral are Uppies).

The Uppie goal is to touch the Ba’ against a wall in the South end of the town. The Doonies have to get the ball into the water of Krkwall Bay to the North of the town. There are no official rules or limit to the number of players on each side although “inappropriate behaviour” is kept in check.

Usually a tight scrum develops around the Ba’ but when the scrum breaks chaos erupts as the team with possession tries to get to their goal as fast as they can. A game can last up to five hours, although there is only one goal scored and the game is up.

Report

Clare won the 1995 GAA Liam McCarthy Cup for the All-Ireland senior Hurling Championsship by triumphing 1-13 to 2-8 over Offaly in the All-Ireland Final. In the semi-Finals Clare had beaten Connacht Champions Galway and Offaly had defeated Ulster Champions Down. Down had to play London in the All-Ireland Quarter-Finals before taking their place in the All-Ireland Semi-Finals.

In the Connacht Final Galway had a close match with Roscommon but prevailed in the end and in the Ulster Final Down won out against Antrim in a Replay. The Leinster Final was a surprisingly easy Offaly win over Kilkenny with double the points the margin of victory (22 to 11). The Munster Final was almost as wide, with Clare defeating Limerick by nine points (20 to 11).
