A special Blue Plaque commemorating the contribution of Erin's Own club to GAA in Waterford is being unveiled at Mayor's Walk this Sunday afternoon (Jan 21).

Erin's Own GAA Club are celebrating 100 years in existence this year, making them the oldest hurling club in Waterford city.

Mayor's Walk was where the club was first founded and today it is based in Poleberry, at the centre of the Sacred Heart parish and the local community there.

The club has a rich history.

Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, it supplied the majority of players for the Waterford county team, leading up to Waterford's first All-Ireland appearance in 1938.

In 1963, Waterford won their first National League title with Erin's Own's John Meaney as captain. In the same year, the club's Joe Condon captained Waterford in the All-Ireland final.

That's just some of it; and all will be covered in an upcoming book that's being published to celebrate the club's centenary! All stories and photos are welcome and anyone who may have had connection to the club through the years and has  anything to contribute, can email [email protected]

Ahead of the Blue Plaque unveiling (thanks to Waterford Civic Trust) this Sunday at 2pm, club committee members Noel Kelly and Brian Kelly came to our Dungarvan studio to chat to Damien on 'Deise Today' about this massive year ahead for the club.
