I'm enjoying this. Much appreciated.

Also enjoying this . We seem to have played in a lot of different grounds in early years . I presume East of Scotland competition is what later became East of Scotland Shield ? Owen Brannigan`s 65 - year association with Hibernian is incredible .

I know the most recent Pat was a descendent of Messrs Michael Whelahan but was this guy a relation of anyone too?
