Henry recalls class of ’52

30 April 2003

In 1952 Brownstown hurling club won their sixth championship in their 27 year history after having also annexed the title in 1938, 43, 46, 47 and 1948. The beat Rickardstown in the final 4-5 to 3-7 and playing at right half forward that day was nineteen year old Sean Henry in his first county final. He reflects on that glorious day.

Pat Clancy interview with Hogan Stand 29 May 1992

YOU ARE CAPTAIN OF THE WESTMEATH HURLERS THIS YEAR. DO YOU REGARD THIS AS AN HONOUR? Of course!! It is an honour to know that you are the person selected by players and management to lead them for a full season. It would be a bonus of course, to lead this team to success and that is my intention for the coming year.

Brownstown cling onto senior status

For the third successive year, Brownstown narrowly avoided relegation to the intermediate grade. Club chairman Paddy Melligan believes that things can only improve in the year ahead.
