A letter with illustrations asking former student and cricket player to help fund the widening of the cricket pitch. Dated December 1910.
Just up the road from Patrick Pearse’s school, Scoil Éanna, there was a protestant boarding school, St. Columba’s College, where the aim was to furnish the sons of the landed gentry with a decent education. Here the college appeals to old boys for a few quid to widen the cricket pitch, a need that is all the greater in view of the upcoming game against sister school Radley.
