THE TEAM OF 1951/52

This photograph of a Gaelic football team was sent in to us by Geoffrey P. B. Lyon from Stafford.

It was taken in the Phoenix Park (circa 1951/ 52). Do any of our readers know the team or the names of any of the young men? The clue– it is connected to Sandymount.

Pictured at the BT Young Scientist event in the RDS recently are category winners Daniel and Christopher Hobbs from Maynooth Post Primary School, whose exhibit studied sonics.
