Cork has long been associated with sporting prowess in every field, and now, for the first time, the history and development of a host of major sports in Cork and its environs have been gathered together in one comprehensive book.
From major spectator sports such as GAA, soccer and rugby, to tennis, rowing, cricket and golf, Sport in Cork charts their beginnings and coped with their growing popularity.
OSullivan looks at developments in rules and finances, and the roles and behaviour of spectators, showing how sport impacted upon and informed their localities. The importance of the sporting press is also examined, as we look at how the games developed from the 1800s through to the mid 20th century.
