Cartlann Digiteach Cuala is delighted to announce the acquisition of a wide-ranging set of photographs and news clippings courtesy of Bridie Dunphy (one of our 4 Honorary Members). During her time as an active committee member, Bridie was also busy recording the exploits of the club and her family’s remarkable involvement, especially that of her late husband Mick Dunphy RIP. Over the coming weeks and months, we hope to publish more photos along with their associated stories.

To kick-off this series, we think it fitting to share with you this image, taken in 1974 at a function in the Shang-Ri-La Hotel in Dalkey, featuring Bridie and Mick. The presentation marked a wonderful season for the Minors that saw them finish top of the Dublin Minor League. And it was also an occasion to honour Mick their manager who had guided them, and so many other teams, over the years. The team presented him with an inscribed salver.
