Lords and Masters

Celebrating Kilrush Shamrocks Historic Five-in-a-Row 1975-1979

This summer, Lords and Masters will be launched, a book that tells the story behind the unprecedented five‑in‑a‑row championship secured by Kilrush Shamrocks from 1975 to 1979.

Written by Chris Dixon, the book is being published to mark the 50‑year anniversary of this remarkable era, and all proceeds will go directly towards supporting Kilrush Shamrocks’ boys’ and girls’ underage teams.

The book not only captures the key moments and matches of that illustrious era, but also shines a light on the people, on and off the pitch, who made it possible. It celebrates the town’s passionate supporters, whose colour, noise, and unwavering belief became part of the team’s identity. Richly illustrated with photographs from the time, it brings to life the hype, the celebrations, and the many factors that fuelled this extraordinary run of success.

Details of the launch and how to purchase the book will be announced in the coming weeks through our social media channels and local media.
