HIBERNIAN Football Club’s sesquicentennial year drew to a close with a pre-season tour of Ireland and the unveiling of two plaques in co-founder Canon Edward Joseph Hannan’s birthplace village of Ballingarry, County Limerick (see features section).

HIBERNIAN FC supporters have brought the story of their club back home to Ireland to mark their 150th anniversary, with an event in Limerick providing a fitting conclusion to a year of celebrations.
