GRANAGH/BALLINGARRY GAA CLUB NOTES

JIMMY STAPLETON RIP

A great old Gaelic Games enthusiast player, administrator and coach to both his club division and county. Jimmy Stapleton, Granagh, died on Thursday 2nd September.
Jimmy Stapleton’s name has been synonymous with the GAA in Granagh/Ballingarry West Limerick and at inter-county level in a career that has seen him play for his home clubs, Granagh and Granagh/Ballingarry, Western Gaels and his county. When his playing career ended in 1974 the father of seven sons, all of whom lined out at different times for Granagh, turned his hand very successfully to coaching in hurling, football and camogie and to administration at club and divisional level. The late Jimmy started his hurling career with Granagh in the mid-1950s with the local minor hurling team and those who saw him play quickly identified him as a player with special talent. That talent was developed over the years as he left his mark on the playing fields of Limerick and beyond. It was an era of hard hurling often on tight pitches when strong defenders thought quickly and acted quickly, something Jimmy could do better than most when Granagh and Ballingarry amalgamated he played a big part in the winning of two West Junior A Hurling Championship titles in 1957 and ’58 narrowly losing to Pallasgreen in the ’58 county final. Jimmy’s class shone through and when the West Junior hurling clubs came together to form Western Gaels he was selected as half forward and gave many exhibitions on the way to winning two County Senior Hurling Championship titles in 1961/62. He was very versatile and could play in any position because he could read the game well on a breaking ball and could score from any angle. In 1962 when playing against Patrickswell he scored six points from play later that year in a game against Kilmallock. The first half was close so Jimmy dropped back to join his brother, now deceased, and Kevin Long also deceased in the half back line. Very little passed them in the second half and the Gaels ran out easy winners. A song about the great team includes the line, “Jim Stapleton was our hero who could swing them over the bar”. 1969 was an unlucky year for Jimmy as he was part of the Granagh side on their own that lost the West Junior A Hurling Championship Final to Knockaderry and the Limerick team that lost to Cork in the Munster Junior Hurling Championship Final undeterred he didn’t give up and helped Granagh reach the West Junior A Hurling Championship Final again in 1973 only to lose to Monagea by a goal. Determined to see Granagh win a West Junior A Hurling Championship title on their own for the first time since 1942 he gave it another year and was in the full back line when the boys in black and white held out bravely against great rivals Knockaderry in ’74 to take the title before going under to Caherline in the County Semi Final. A fitting end to a great hurling career. He will always be remembered as a hurling hero in Granagh/Basllingarry and throughout West Limerick. Jimmy was selected to captain Limerick in a league game in Enniscorthy against Wexford in 1962 but was unable to play due to injury. When his playing career ended, he quickly took to coaching first at underage level with Granagh/Ballingarry and guided the U12s to West and County honours in 1985. He also guided the U14, 15 and 16 hurlers and footballers to various titles. The natural progression was to be the minor team and again west and county success came their way in 1988 and ’89. The adult club of Granagh/Ballingarry soon came calling and Jimmy responded with the late Gerry Molyneaux as trainer. They guided the club to win the West and County Junior A Hurling Championship honours in 1998 for the first time since Granagh won in 1976 when Jimmy was coach to that side that defeated Ballingarry in the West and Staker Wallace in the County Final. Jimmy has also given long and dedicated service to his county as a member of different backroom teams starting with the County U14 team that won the prestigious Tony Forrestal Hurling Tournament in 1984.
The Granagh/Ballingarry parish priest Fr. Tommy Carroll was the manager and Jimmy was a selector of a team that included Ciarán Carey and Pat Heffernan among others who went on to star for Limerick at senior level. He also acted as a selector with the Limerick minors for two years when P.J. O’Grady was manager and later as U21 selector under the manager Bill Reidy. Health issues forced him to pull out but a return to some backroom teams was inevitable and it came via the intermediate hurling manager, the late Frank Costello. It was the start of a long association with the county intermediate hurling team that was to continue for 12 years, six as a selector with Frank Costello before taking over from him as manager for another three. On deciding to step down he was prevailed upon by the now intermediate hurling manager Gerry Molyneaux to stay on for another spell as selector which he did for three years during which time Limerick won the Munster Intermediate Hurling Championship in 2008 defeated Tipperary in the final with Denis O’Connor of Granagh/Ballingarry fiving a man-of-the-match performance before losing the All Ireland Final to Kilkenny when Limerick were hit with a huge blow when they were forced to line out minus Denis O’Connor due to injury.
Camogie
Jimmy Stapleton also had a long association with Granagh/Ballingarry camogie and first became involved in 1979. During his time with the club, he helped the girls to 12 underage on a junior and one senior county championship title.
Administration
Jimmy Stapleton served as treasurer and chairman of the Granagh club and chairman of Granagh/Ballingarry Bord na nÓg, a position held at present by his son Stephen and appointed joint treasurer of the West Board in 1980/81 with Jim Quaid RIP and served on the board’s disciplinary committee where he was to serve for 14 years and was the Board’s life president.
Lifelong service awards
Jimmy received lifelong service awards from both the West Limerick GAA Board and Granagh/Ballingarry GAA Club in 2015.
Sons
Jimmy’s seven sons Kieran, Seamus, Peter, Niall, David, Stephen and Noel lined out for Granagh/Ballingarry but never played on the same team. The nearest was 6 at the one time. Seamus like his father had the honour of playing intermediate hurling for Limerick and also played in a number of tournament games for the senior team. Jimmy Stapleton will always be remembered as a hurling hero in Granagh/Ballingarry and throughout West and County Limerick. His death is sincerely
regretted by all in Granagh/Ballingarry GAA Club, to his wife Nuala, Kieran, Seamus, Peter, Niall, David, Stephen, Noel, daughters-in-law, sister-in-law, relatives and many friends. Jimmy’s requiem Mass was celebrated by Fr. Tom Carroll in St. Joseph’s Church, Granagh on Sunday and he was laid to rest in the local cemetery.

Historic Minor Hurling crown for Ballingarry 50 years on
County Premier Minor Hurling Championship final 1971
A new name was inscribed in the Limerick County Minor hurling trophy 50 years ago at Pairc na nGael on Sunday 12th September 1971 where Ballingarry beat Kilmallock by 4-5 to 1-8 in a thrilling and exciting decider. An hour of swaying fortunes with the lead alternating several times and the issue always in doubt. Kilmallock dominated the first half but were only ahead by three points 1-4 to 1-1 at the interval. The Ballingarry boys resumed in a whirlwind fashion and edged ahead with scores from Michael John Hourigan 1-0, and Joe Fitzgerald 0-2. Kilmallock regained the lead with 9 minutes remaining, and were two points ahead. Ballingarry, winners of the County juvenile title in 1969 staged an all out rally and the spark they needed came in the 21st minute of the second half when Michael Healy soloed his way through the Kilmallock defence before passing to John Cagney for a great goal. Then points from Joe Fitzgerald and Mike Chawke plus a late goal from Peter Dunworth clinched the issue in Ballingarry’s favour for a thrilling six point 4-5 to 1-8 victory for the boys in green and gold to claim a first ever Limerick County Minor hurling championship title to add to the county juvenile title won in 1969 by the same panel of players. After the game Ballingarry winning captain Davy Clifford received the Limerick County minor hurling championship cup amid great scenes of jubilation.
