Rounders
Rounders is one of the four Traditional GAA sports included in the Original GAA Charter in 1884 along with Handball, Gaelic Football and Hurling, though it was not promoted as widely as Gaelic Football and Hurling, and got squeezed out as a Major Irish Sport by Soccer and Rugby Union.
It is an earlier version of the American National Pastime of Baseball or Softball, and the earliest mention of it is in a Medieval Document in Newcastle, Co. Dublin – a Priest writing to his Bishop asking if it was permissible to play it on Sundays.
It was first promoted in 1958 when the Erin’s Own Club in Co. Antrim set up a team, and soon afterwards set one up in Baldonnell Aerodrome, home of the Irish Air Force, and within walking distance of Newcastle.
Nearby Tymon Park, in an adjacent area of Dublin, is home to Limekiln Rounders, one of the most successful in Ireland, and where All_Ireland Finals have been held.
Currently there are All-Ireland Senior Championships in Ladies, Men’s and Mixed, as well as Underage (Minor and Feile) categories.
