game as from &lsquo;an Armstrong Cup match&rsquo;, specifying the clubs but
not the season. The players do not seem to have met in the 1933-34
Armstrong Cup, and Colmcille did not play in the Armstrong before 1932-33,
so the game must have occurred in the 1932-33 season. McCluskey beat
O'Nolan in the match on January 10, 1933. No record is available of the
return match; it's possible the game is from that one. }
