Once again, the archive is reasonably rich in photos but
poor in detailed information. Charles Lysaght (’58) and
David Ensor (’66) have each made helpful contributions in
Gonzaga at Sixty, although they differ by one wicket in their
memory of Arthur Plunkett’s remarkable feat of bowling
against Blackrock.
Detail on early coaching is slim, though the oral
tradition is clearly in favour of Fr Keane’s passion for the
game; he ‘came alive when the sun came out and the front
field was his initial playground’ until tennis seduced him.
Ensor also refers to Fr Kavanagh’s endurance of long
afternoons and philosophical adjustment to his role as
replacement. He was in turn replaced by Fr John Redmond.
Beginners – names required.
