Nil Desperandum GAA
Nil Desperandum F.C. was a sporting club in Cork, Ireland. When it was founded it was mainly a rugby club. In 1888, after "some years" of playing rugby "Nils", as they were known, played their first Gaelic football game. Within a few years Nils was one of the strongest Gaelic Athletic Association clubs in Cork. It had a headquarters on Marlboro' Street and was largely represented by West Cork men who had come to the city to work. After winning the Cork Senior Football Championship in 1894, Nils went on to represent Cork in the controversial All-Ireland Senior Football Championship of 1894. By the late 1920s the club was almost defunct and at the 1929 AGM the chairman "exhorted every member present both individually and collectively to strive earnestly for the welfare of the club whose motto was 'Nil Desperandum' and bring all possible honors to the club and to the county this year.
