Football team 1904-1905

"The boy on the bottom right of the photo is my Grandfather, PJ O'Reilly. The team won a silver cup for a soccer match in 1904-1905. Not much is known about the team but they are probably from Dublin. PJ grew up in Dublin and went to America a few years later as a butcher. When he came home, he became involved in the War of Independence and Civil war. "
