The Souvenir Programme for the Jim Larkin Memorial Fund match between Drumcondra and Doncaster Rovers held in Dalymount Park held on the 9th of May 1952. The programme has a piece on Larkin , The Workers Union of Ireland, and the Memorial fund which aimed to Build a Jim Larkin Memorial Hall. The game was started by Oscar Traynor and it was quite an impressive Drumcondra line up.
