Fedamore GAA hosted a special event at the Hunting Lodge to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the club's 1976 County Intermediate Hurling Championship victory last weekend.
Coincidentally, it was on this very same date that Fedamore had captured the title in Bruff five decades earlier.
Among the guests at this well-attended event was JP McManus, Honorary Life President of Limerick GAA.
An integral part of the celebrations was the launch of a special commemorative book, celebrating not only the glory of 1976 but also more than 140 years of the club's history.
The book was compiled and edited by Liam O'Brien, Liam Bourke and Pádraig Kelleher, with Niall Deegan doing a brilliant job of bringing it all together with his graphic design.
A copy of the book was presented to each surviving member of the 1976 team or to a family representative.
The MC for the evening was Matt O'Callaghan, who, coincidentally, was chairman of Glenroe, runners-up to that great Fedamore team in the 1976 final.
It was a wonderful night of celebration and reunions, with many great stories shared and memories recalled from days gone by.
It was an occasion that will live long in the memories of all those who attended.
