Lysaght recalls that Gonzaga first entered an eleven in
the School’s Junior Cup in 1956, at his instigation.
Captained by Jerry Liston (’58) the team comfortably
defeated St Patrick’s Grammar School and had a thrilling
one-run victory over Sandford Park. In this game Gonzaga’s
star batsman was Raymond O’Kelly (’60) who batted for
the entire innings. St Andrews put Gonzaga out of the race.
Arthur Plunkett’s (’60; see obituary) remarkable four-
wicket performance against Blackrock followed two years
later. His classmate Tim Webb (later a professor of English
at Bristol University) also distinguished himself as a bowler.
Brian Walsh (’64) also made an impression on the young
Ensor.
No doubt, some of the names mentioned may be
found among the faces below.
