On this day, October 23, 1928, Coláiste Éinde (St Enda’s College) opened in an old house belonging to the Blake family in Furbo. It had been founded by the State shortly after the State itself was founded. The aim of the college was to teach boys through the medium of Irish so that they could go on to third level at St Patrick’s Training College, get a secure job as an Irish language teacher and then, in turn, educate a new generation of boys as Gaeilge. The college did not last very long in Furbo as there was some kind of domestic dispute between members of the Blake family and the school had to be evacuated by Christmas 1930, so they moved it to Dublin, to Talbot House on Talbot Street.

It was supposed to be simple, and in the end, it was. Defeated finalists in 2021, Mayo were utterly dominant throughout the group stages of the 2022 Tesco All-Ireland U-16 “D” Camogie championship, winning all of their games by an average margin of over 30 points – including a 5-18 to 0-3 win in Castlebar against last Saturday’s final opponents from Cavan.

The Mayo senior hurlers picked up their first competitive win of the year with a 25-point destruction of Monaghan on Saturday afternoon.
