Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 In February 1916 Irish Amateur Athletic Association (IAAA) circularised the principal schools in Ireland regarding the advisability of holding Schoolboys’ Championships. At the IAAA’s Annual General Meeting held on Monday 3 rd April, 1916 in Wynne’s Hotel, Dublin, the Hon. Secretary, H.M. Finlay, referred to the falling off in the number of affiliated clubs due to the number of athletes serving in World War I and the need for efforts to keep the sport alive. Based on responses received from schools, the suggestion to hold Irish Schoolboys’ Championships in May was favourably considered by the AGM and the Race Committee of the IAAA was empowered to implement this project. Within a week a provisional programme for the inaugural athletics meeting to be held at Lansdowne Road on Saturday 20 th May, 1916 had been published in newspapers, with 7 events and a relay for Senior and 4 events and a relay for Junior Boys. However, the championships were postponed "due to the rebellion" and were rescheduled to Saturday 23 rd September, 1916, at Lansdowne Road. In order not to disappoint pupils who were eligible for the championships on the original date of the meeting, the Race Committee of the IAAA decided that “a bona fide schoolboy is one who has attended at least two classes daily at a recognised primary or secondary school for three months previous to 20 th May, except in case of sickness, and who was not attending any office or business”. The inaugural championships took place in ‘quite fine’ weather. The honours on the day were divided between Cork Grammar School and Belvedere College with five champions each and Mountjoy School with three wins. The IAAA had special medals struck for the occasion. Under the auspices of the IAAA the Irish Schools’ Championships were conducted with Junior and Senior divisions through 1922. With the formation of the National Athletic and Cycling Association of Ireland (NACAI) as the National Governing Body for athletics in July 1922 through the amalgamation of the IAAA and the Athletic Council of the GAA, direction of the now titled “All-Ireland Schools and Colleges Championships” fell under its auspices. Age categories [Juvenile (Minor), Junior and Senior] and events within each category were redefined. The championships moved from Lansdowne Road to Croke Park annually. The Intermediate age category was introduced in 1928. By that year the number of events had expanded to 27 overall – Juvenile 3, Junior 6, Intermediate 11 and Senior 7. At the NACAI Congress in January 1931, the Juvenile Class was discontinued and the Senior category was changed to Youths, in essence amalgamating the separate Youth Championships and the Senior Schools Championships. The split in Irish athletics in the 1930’s between the NACAI and the Northern Ireland Amateur Athletic Association (NIAAA), which eventually involved the world athletics governing body, the IAAF, impinged on participation in Schools Championships. No schools from Ulster took part from 1932 through 1936, although an Ulster Secondary Schools Sports meeting was held annually. The idea of an All-Ireland Schools Athletic Union was first mooted by the Co Dublin Schools’ Union in late October 1936 at its AGM. The motion passed provided for a Union controlled by County or Provincial Committees, selected by representatives of schools, and holding their own provincial championships and other inter-school competitions. At the annual NACAI Congress in February 1937 a motion was passed: “That the Annual Congress of the NACAI invites closer cooperation of the schools and colleges in the development of athletics and that, with a view to the furtherance of this object, the Congress desires to hand over the control of the All-Ireland Schools and Colleges Championships to a properly constituted Schools' Athletic Union". Furtherance of a Schools’ Athletic Union developed rapidly. At a meeting of the Co Dublin Schools’ Union in March 1937, this body was translated into the Leinster Schools Athletic Union. This meeting was presided over by Mr Patrick Lynch, Attorney General, who indicated that their Union was controlled by headmasters for boys in their schools and had nothing to do with an athletic association for the control of athletics for adults. While the Leinster Union had no objection to an NACAI representative, it was made clear that the Leinster Union could not speak for the proposed All-Ireland Union. The rustication of the NACAI by the IAAF as the NGB in April 1937 obviated this particular issue. The NACAI conceded that schoolboys who were members of clubs which had resigned from the NACAI were entitled to compete for their respective institutions in schools & colleges championships. By the middle of May 1937 Munster and Connacht Schools' Athletic Unions had been formed and an Ulster Union was in train. Provincial championships were held in 1937. While it had been hoped to hold the inaugural All-Ireland Schools’ Championships under the auspices of an All-Ireland Union in 1937, this proved to be impractical given the limited stage of development of the Provincial Unions, the need to align provincial constitutions, examinations and holidays. On 11 December, 1937 in Jury’s Hotel, Dublin, delegates of the Connacht, Leinster and Munster Schools’ Unions formed the All-Ireland Schools’ Athletic Union. The inaugural championships took place at Blackrock College, Dublin on 28 May, 1938, with three qualifiers per event per province, but without Ulster. All-Ireland Schools’ Championships were suspended from 1941 through 1946, although provincial championships took place. There was, however, a determination that, after the clouds of war had passed, the Union would assume greater National status, with Ulster Schools augmenting the championships and thereby forging links throughout the island of Ireland, and would maintain its independence and freedom of allegiance to any other organisation. Interprovincial Schools Championships resumed with a Leinster Schools v Ulster Schools contest at the Iveagh Grounds Dublin in June 1947. The first quadrangular Interprovincial Championships, again at the Iveagh Grounds, Crumlin, took place on 3 July 1948, with two representatives per event per province. From 1938 through 1953, the Royal College of Science Cup was presented to the winning province, with the school contributing most points to a province’s win holding the trophy for that year. In 1949 Ulster Schools withdrew reportedly over a clash of dates, but athletic politics and political boundaries intervened, as a result of which Ulster Schools did not compete again in the All-Ireland Championships until 1967.

Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015

In February 1916 Irish Amateur Athletic Association (IAAA) circularised the principal schools in Ireland regarding the advisability of holding Schoolboys’

Championships. At the IAAA’s Annual General Meeting held on Monday 3rd April, 1916 in Wynne’s Hotel, Dublin, the Hon. Secretary, H.M. Finlay, referred to

the falling off in the number of affiliated clubs due to the number of athletes serving in World War I and the need for efforts to keep the sport alive. Based

on responses received from schools, the suggestion to hold Irish Schoolboys’ Championships in May was favourably considered by the AGM and the Race

Committee of the IAAA was empowered to implement this project. Within a week a provisional programme for the inaugural athletics meeting to be held at

Lansdowne Road on Saturday 20th May, 1916 had been published in newspapers, with 7 events and a relay for Senior and 4 events and a relay for Junior Boys.

However, the championships were postponed "due to the rebellion" and were rescheduled to Saturday 23rd

September, 1916, at Lansdowne Road. In order

not to disappoint pupils who were eligible for the championships on the original date of the meeting, the Race Committee of the IAAA decided that “a bona

fide schoolboy is one who has attended at least two classes daily at a recognised primary or secondary school for three months previous to 20th

May, except

in case of sickness, and who was not attending any office or business”. The inaugural championships took place in ‘quite fine’ weather. The honours on the

day were divided between Cork Grammar School and Belvedere College with five champions each and Mountjoy School with three wins.

The IAAA had special medals struck for the occasion. Under the auspices of the IAAA the Irish Schools’ Championships were conducted with Junior and

Senior divisions through 1922.

With the formation of the National Athletic and Cycling Association of Ireland (NACAI) as the National Governing Body for athletics in July 1922 through the

amalgamation of the IAAA and the Athletic Council of the GAA, direction of the now titled “All-Ireland Schools and Colleges Championships” fell under its

auspices. Age categories [Juvenile (Minor), Junior and Senior] and events within each category were redefined. The championships moved from Lansdowne

Road to Croke Park annually. The Intermediate age category was introduced in 1928. By that year the number of events had expanded to 27 overall – Juvenile

3, Junior 6, Intermediate 11 and Senior 7. At the NACAI Congress in January 1931, the Juvenile Class was discontinued and the Senior category was changed

to Youths, in essence amalgamating the separate Youth Championships and the Senior Schools Championships.

The split in Irish athletics in the 1930’s between the NACAI and the Northern Ireland Amateur Athletic Association (NIAAA), which eventually

involved the world athletics governing body, the IAAF, impinged on participation in Schools Championships. No schools from Ulster took part from

1932 through 1936, although an Ulster Secondary Schools Sports meeting was held annually.

The idea of an All-Ireland Schools Athletic Union was first mooted by the Co Dublin Schools’ Union in late October 1936 at its AGM. The motion passed

provided for a Union controlled by County or Provincial Committees, selected by representatives of schools, and holding their own provincial championships

and other inter-school competitions. At the annual NACAI Congress in February 1937 a motion was passed: “That the Annual Congress of the NACAI invites

closer cooperation of the schools and colleges in the development of athletics and that, with a view to the furtherance of this object, the Congress desires to

hand over the control of the All-Ireland Schools and Colleges Championships to a properly constituted Schools' Athletic Union".

Furtherance of a Schools’ Athletic Union developed rapidly. At a meeting of the Co Dublin Schools’ Union in March 1937, this body was translated into the

Leinster Schools Athletic Union. This meeting was presided over by Mr Patrick Lynch, Attorney General, who indicated that their Union was controlled by

headmasters for boys in their schools and had nothing to do with an athletic association for the control of athletics for adults. While the Leinster Union had

no objection to an NACAI representative, it was made clear that the Leinster Union could not speak for the proposed All-Ireland Union. The rustication of the

NACAI by the IAAF as the NGB in April 1937 obviated this particular issue. The NACAI conceded that schoolboys who were members of clubs which had

resigned from the NACAI were entitled to compete for their respective institutions in schools & colleges championships. By the middle of May 1937 Munster

and Connacht Schools' Athletic Unions had been formed and an Ulster Union was in train. Provincial championships were held in 1937.

While it had been hoped to hold the inaugural All-Ireland Schools’ Championships under the auspices of an All-Ireland Union in 1937, this proved to be

impractical given the limited stage of development of the Provincial Unions, the need to align provincial constitutions, examinations and holidays. On 11

December, 1937 in Jury’s Hotel, Dublin, delegates of the Connacht, Leinster and Munster Schools’ Unions formed the All-Ireland Schools’ Athletic Union. The

inaugural championships took place at Blackrock College, Dublin on 28 May, 1938, with three qualifiers per event per province, but without Ulster. All-Ireland

Schools’ Championships were suspended from 1941 through 1946, although provincial championships took place. There was, however, a determination that,

after the clouds of war had passed, the Union would assume greater National status, with Ulster Schools augmenting the championships and thereby forging

links throughout the island of Ireland, and would maintain its independence and freedom of allegiance to any other organisation.

Interprovincial Schools Championships resumed with a Leinster Schools v Ulster Schools contest at the Iveagh Grounds Dublin in June 1947. The first

quadrangular Interprovincial Championships, again at the Iveagh Grounds, Crumlin, took place on 3 July 1948, with two representatives per event per

province. From 1938 through 1953, the Royal College of Science Cup was presented to the winning province, with the school contributing most points to a

province’s win holding the trophy for that year. In 1949 Ulster Schools withdrew reportedly over a clash of dates, but athletic politics and political boundaries

The inaugural All-Ireland Schools' Cross-Country Championships for boys took place at St Joseph's College, Garbally Park, Ballinasloe, Co Galway in 1964.

A name change from All-Ireland Schools’ Athletic Union to Irish Secondary Schools’ Athletic Organisation/Federation, later Association, appears to have taken

place at its AGM in December 1962 or January 1963, removing the word “Union” as a positive contribution towards associating the four provinces, but in

particular schools’ athletics in Ulster, in All-Ireland Schools’ championships. At this time the Universities were actively involved in asserting the non-

aligned nature of intervarsity competition while attempting at the same time to break down barriers between the NACAI and Amateur Athletic Union of Eire

(AAUE) through athletic meetings involving athletes from both bodies. At the AGM of the ISSAA in February 1966 it was announced that the Ulster

Secondary Schools Athletic Organisation was reaffiliating to the ISSAA. The formation of Bord Lúthchleas na hÉireann in 1967 reopened the doors to

All-Ireland Schools’ and intervarsity competition.

Given that National Track & Field and Cross Country Championships for women were not formally introduced by the AAUE until 1966, it is not unsurprising

that Schools’ Track & Field Championships for girls were not inaugurated until 1970. The time lapse in the introduction of female athletic championships can

be traced back to 1934 when the Reverend John Charles McQuaid, then President of Blackrock College, later Catholic Archbishop of Dublin and Primate of

Ireland, asserted that “mixed athletics and all cognate immodesties are abuses that right-minded people reprobate, wherever and whenever they exist”,

further declaring that women competing in the same sporting arenas with men was “un-Irish and un-Catholic”, and that mixed athletics were a “social abuse”

and a “moral abuse”. The 1980’s and 1990’s saw expansion of the range of events for girls as sports medicine indicated that these athletic disciplines were

not injurious to female health.

The first ISSA Junior Tailteann Games took place in Croke Park on 28 September, 1963, encompassing fourteen events in four age groups. The Irish Schools

Inter-Provincial Championships were embraced by the athletics section of the Tailteann Games in 1975 for under-16 year-olds. Nowadays the Schools’

Tailteann Interprovincial Championships are contested by U17 intermediate athletes.

Thanks to an enlightened approach on the island, the first Schools’ Track & Field quadrangular match involving an All-Ireland Schools’ team representative of

the island of Ireland took place on Saturday 20 July, 1968 at Connah’s Quay, near Chester. Ireland finished third behind England and Scotland, the only Irish

win coming in the triple jump by John Magee, the team captain from Castleknock College. The quadrangular match switched from Senior boys and girls to

Intermediate (U17) boys and girls in 1974.

The first Schools’ Cross Country International was a triangular match with Scotland and Wales for Senior (U19 on August 1st) boys and girls held at Clydebank

on 25 March 1972. Ireland took both team honours. Beatrice Lambert (St Leo’s College, Carlow) and Marie Buckley (Mercy Convent, Kinsale) scored a 1 – 2 in

the girls’ race and Michael O’Shea (Gormanston College) by inches over Des O’Connor (Tipperary VS) with Phil English (Tipperary VS) placed 1 – 2 – 3 in the

boys’ race. The Schools’ Cross Country became a quadrangular match in 1973 at Newtown High School (built on the site of a WWII prisoner of war camp),

Montgomeryshire (now part of Powys), Wales, when the Irish girls placed 2nd to England. The age category switched from Senior to Intermediate (U17) and

Junior (U15) boys and girls in 1974.

This compilation of Irish Schools’ Champions from 1916 to the current date, apart from presenting facts and statistics, is intended to act as a point of

reference as All-Ireland Schools’ Athletics enters its second century. The organisation of Schools’ Athletics in Ireland has undergone several metamorphoses

since 1916. This has brought about changes in the definitions of age categories over the decades with changes in NGB’s and competition. The many changes

in age-group definitions make it impossible to re-assign performances with any degree of certainty to current age groups for the purposes of historical

record progression without knowing every athlete’s date of birth. All these schools’ athletes under whatever age regime they competed have their place in

schools’ athletic history. For the purposes of this compilation the age-group category names – Senior, Intermediate, Junior, Minor (Juvenile) – in use at any

Page 139: Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 … Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 In February 1916 Irish Amateur Athletic Association (IAAA) circularised the principal schools

time since 1916 have been used to list results in the full knowledge that all athletes in a particular named category are not alike. The change from “Senior”

to “Youth” from 1931 through 1937 under the auspices of the NACAI led to participation of athletes who had passed on to University level or clubs,

although the majority of competitors were still bona fide schoolboys. However, even before 1931 the winning affiliations of some Senior schoolboys appear

as UCD or Dublin University or a club name. For the purposes of the present compilation the winners of the “Youth” category between 1931 and 1937 are

included in this compilation by the precedent already created and the highly probable equivalence in many cases of a Youth with a current Senior in terms

of current-day school academic curricula and leaving certificate examinations. To have excluded these athletes would have been to deny seven years of

Seniors their rightful place in schools’ athletic history. The known age category definitions since 1916 are tabulated below:
