In another excerpt from the forthcoming biography of the sporting and normal life of Ned Power, former pupil Tallow hurler and teacher himself Billy Sheehan talks about the effect my father’s arrival had on the fortunes of Tallow GAA.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt (the Avonmore League) was the seed for Tallow of what came on afterwards,\u201d says Billy Sheehan.\u00a0 Billy\u2019s family is steeped in Tallow GAA tradition and he is a former pupil of my father\u2019s, as well as having taught in Naomh Mhuire himself, where he became principal and played for Tallow at senior level.\u00a0 \u201cAt the time in Tallow, there was no permanent hurling field there.\u00a0 As a child, we used to go out to Curley\u2019s Field for training \u2013 that\u2019s where all those schools league matches were played.\u00a0 The Avonmore League was also important because you had adult teams and minor teams but you didn\u2019t have anything below that until those leagues started in the early 1960\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the mid-1960\u2019s, the under-16 competitions came into being and the official GAA under-14 competitions started at the end of the decade.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 1960\u2019s and 1970\u2019s were like a rollercoaster ride,\u201d continues Billy, before clarifying that \u201calthough there were some disappointments, it was generally a case of the grass growing up and up.\u00a0 From a GAA point of view, what was a big thing was buying a field.\u00a0 They bought the field in 1963 and then they had a permanent home.\u00a0 As far as I know, although the deal was done then, it wasn\u2019t paid off until the mid-1970\u2019s.\u00a0 I remember Ned being in great form one day at school and saying that \u2018we finally paid off the field\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou had other people involved (in Tallow GAA), but Ned was coming from the school, so all the lads who had trained and played with them had come through the school with him.\u00a0 And, once they started up these Avonmore Leagues and they continued year after year, he was in charge of those teams \u2013 3rd<\/sup> class, 4th<\/sup> class, training them three times a week.\u00a0 Even when he\u2019d be in school and he\u2019d be looking out the window having a cup of tea, he\u2019d run out and tell a fella that he was holding the hurley the wrong way and get him to change his grip.\u201d<\/p>\n

It must also be noted that the footballing origins of Tallow GAA were confined to folklore at this point and the club didn\u2019t even have an actual football when they were playing their first games in the Avonmore Leagues.\u00a0 So, although a hurling man first and foremost, my father played a major part in reviving Tallow\u2019s lost footballing tradition too.<\/p>\n

Tallow\u2019s next important landmark was again in football, when the under-16 team beat Mount Sion to win a county title in 1966, of which Billy was the captain:\u00a0 \u201cThe unusual thing about that match is that it was played in Carrick-on-Suir.\u00a0 So you had a Waterford county final played in County Tipperary, which is most unusual.\u00a0 But the reason was that Ned was playing in goals for Waterford and they were playing Tipperary in a league match.\u00a0 Seamus Power was also playing with the Waterford hurling team and he was involved in the Mount Sion U-16\u2019s, so to accommodate the two of them, the County Final was played in another county\u2026 That was a massive win.\u00a0 After that, county finals started coming.\u201d<\/p>\n
