Can anyone point me in the direction of getting my hands on this?

Very scarce programme and very difficult to get your hands on. I think your best shot at this is keep an eye on two auction houses in particular. Whytes of Dublin and Fonsie Mealy also in Dublin. These auctions are the only ones I can find records for for this programme.

You have missed one this year Whytes sold one in May for 380 Euros and Fonsie Mealy the year before also in May which fetched 190 Euros. The next most recent was back to Fonsie Mealy in September 2016 for 280 Euros and then Whytes 900 Euros in 2014.

Graham Budd has also sold it in 2010 for 650 Euros

I think Patience will be required.

Good luck

Thank you, my father's cousin played in the game.

It actually isn't that rare as pre-war Republic of Ireland Internationals go. After Poland 38 it is the one that turns up most often. It will appear again soon I am sure.

As others have said it pops up quite often at auctions in Dublin.

Who was your father's cousin BrandywellRedMariner?

Hugh Connolly.

A couple more for your list.

Hugh Connolly won the FAI Cup with Cork FC in 1934 as they defeated St. James's Gate in the Final. They were also runners up to Bohemians in the league that season. Cork lost the 1936 final to Shamrock Rovers.

The programmes shown are the only known ones for those finals but are thought to be pirates. They are much harder to get than Germany 1936 I'm afraid.
