HI there,, just to give you that info which may click with some of your good Ferrybank brethren.The inscription on the back is in old Gaeilge. It states- Rug iomainthe an Caladh Phoirtcroabh Co Phortlairge 1915. This roughly translates as - The Ferrybank (or port or docks) hurlers took the Waterford Co. championship of 1915.The recipient of this medal was a T McSeartha(which may be Mc Sharry, Mc Sherry, Shearer or Shearan) He may have been a sub on the team of 1915. If anyone can shed any light on the enigma it would be marvellous.
This message was given to our club this evening and is about a 1915 county winners medal recently found.
As Ferrybank were county champions the medal was won by a Ferrybank player but we are looking to see if anyone out there knows the identity of the winner OR indeed is a relation of the owner of this piece of memorabilia. Please let the word spread, and let us know .
Any information would be helpful. Thanks.
