Emerald Isles GAA club – Glebe Farm, mid-1950s

Hello all. My father, Mick Tierney from Loughmore, Co. Tipperary, played corner forward for the Emerald Isles GAA club in Birmingham around 1956, at Glebe Farm Recreation Ground. The manager or secretary was Jimmy McDonald.

Does anyone remember the club, or have photos, team lists or match reports from that time? Dad is now 94, and I'd love to share anything with him while I can.

Thank you,
Michael
 
Remember my Dad taking me to Glebe Farm on a Sundy in the Sixtys to see the Hurling , my dad plyed Galic Football at school in Cork when he was a lad
 
Thanks castalla, lovely to hear from someone who knew Glebe Farm. I'd guess our dads may well have crossed paths there. If anyone else remembers the Emerald Isles club, or has any photos or team lists from the 1950s or '60s, I'd be very grateful. Dad's 95 now and would love to see them. Michael
