March 04, 2021
Delight once again for the St. Colmcilles club
Just like in 2016 when St. Colmcilles won the Leinster Club Intermediate Football Championship title the Seasiders are kings of Leinster once again by finishing top of the Leinster GAA Every Step Counts challenge.
The challenge was divided across the four provinces and the goal was for each club to track a collective 4,000km over 7 weeks (that s roughly the distance around Ireland!) between 13th January - 3rd March to be entered into a prize draw. The event came to a close at 12 midnight last night.
Over the seven weeks the ‘Cilles’ club members collectively clocked an amazing 50, 545 miles (81,344km) and beat off stiff competition from Clontarf. The Dublin club finished second with 48,937 miles (78,756km).

The death has taken place of Tom Scullion, the former Derry Ulster SFC winning player and manager.
Aged 81 and hailing from the Bellaghy club, Tom won an Ulster SFC title with Derry in 1958, before going on to manage the team and bringing the Anglo Celt Cup back to the Oak Leaf County again in 1987. He was also part of the first QUB side to win the Sigerson Cup in 1958.

He is visiting professor in Worktown Studies at the University of Bolton and author of several books on Lancashire history Bolton is a multi-cultural town and has been for centuries, going back to the Flemish weavers who arrived in the 1300s. By far the largest wave of immigration in the 19th century came from Ireland and this was explored in a previous Looking Back feature. Those first Irish immigrants were fleeing dire poverty and starvation. They settled in Bolton and created their own institutions – cultural, religious, educational and political. By the middle of the 20th century they were very much integrated into Bolton life, but have kept their distinctive cultural identity.
