Summary
The Irish Press of 28 September 1961 wrote that Tom Moylett of Fohenagh was brought into the Galway defence. A History of Fohenagh names him as T. Moylette in the 1959 and 1960 senior hurling champions photographs[1]. He was on the Fohenagh side for the 1959 replay against Castlegar, Fohenagh 3-9, Castlegar 4-5 (Connacht Tribune, 19 September 1959)[2]. The Turloughmore club archive of the 1963 county final has Tom Moylette starting for Fohenagh[3]. The Connacht Tribune of 16 September 1961 prints T. Moylett, printed as Pohenagh, in the Galway hurling defence, with T. Sweeney (Fohenagh) and F. Glynn[4]. The Connacht Tribune of 18 July 1959 prints T. Moylette in the Fohenagh XV against Liam Mellowes[5]. The Connacht Tribune of 18 July 1964 names T. Moylett among the best of Fohenagh's backs against Castlegar[6].
