New Book: St Kevin’s Boys Club, Celebrating 50 years 1959 – 2009 | 
This book was written so that as many as possible of those who worked so unselfishly in the club might have their contributions recognised. By its voluntary nature a club such as ours has a steady flow of adult helpers. We have tried to include as many names as possible, but inevitably some names will have been omitted. For this we apologise but we trust that the enjoyment achieved in working for the club will be its own reward.
The book is based on the recollections of a number of senior members who met in 2008. These meetings were augmented by interviews with some more of the ‘old guard’. An overall picture emerged from these sources which led to the general history as outlined in chapter 1. In the other chapters a number of club members volunteered to record their reflections on specific topics of the club’s history based on their own experiences. In adopting this approach it was hoped to include mention of the maximum number of names from the past.
The club would like to express its sincere gratitude to all those, named and unnamed, who have given their time and effort to the club over the last fifty years. In particular we thank the administrators and managers without whom there would have been no history. The authors who contributed articles also deserve great praise for their work. Sincere thanks are also due to the editorial group who collated the articles, supplied and selected the photographs and prepared the book for the design team. In particular great work was done by Dermot Wilkins and Michael O’Callaghan to bring the book to a conclusion.
