"Eamon Martin (1892–1971) was an Irish Republican who fought in the Easter Rising and was chief of staff of Fianna Éireann. He was also a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood. and a member of the Irish Volunteers executive council. Biography Martin joined the Gaelic League at age fifteen. In 1909 his former schoolmaster informed him that an organisation (Na Fianna Éireann) was soon to be set up. He told Martin that Countess Markievicz had been to see him and that she had told him to recommend it to his pupils. He encouraged him to attend the first meeting. At the meeting he met Bulmer Hobson and Countess Markievicz for the first time. In August 1915 Martin became director of organisation and recruiting and commandant of the Fianna's Dublin Battalion and held these positions until Easter 1916. From January 1917 to 1920 he was chief of staff of the organisation. Martin was also a member of the Irish Volunteers Executive Council, representing Fianna Éireann. In 1914 Martin was involved in the Kilcoole gun-running and Howth gun-running operations. On Easter Monday, the first day of the rising, he and a group of about 30 Fianna members attacked the Magazine Fort in Phoenix Park. The detachment disarmed the guards and took guns and ammunition. They intended to blow up the fort, which would signal the start of the rising, but the type of explosives inside the fort were not what they expected. The following day Martin was involved in the attempt to occupy Broadstone railway station. As the detachment approached the station Martin was shot and was taken to Richmond Hospital. It was discovered that a bullet had passed through his arm, into his chest and out through his lung and back. After the rising Martin was commandant of a special Fianna Éireann commando, with the purpose of resisting army conscription during World War I.Witness Statement of Seamus Pounch to the Bureau of Military History, 1949.Witness Statement of Garry Holohan to the Bureau of Military History, 1949.Witness Statement of Joseph Reynolds to Bureau of Military History, 1949.

"Le Celtico is a football match contested between French clubs Guingamp and Rennes. The name of the derby derives from the fact that Guingamp and Rennes are the two major clubs that are situated in Brittany, a land emotionally attached to the Celtic culture. The rivalry began in the mid-90s when Guingamp first joined the top division of French football. Guingamp players were welcomed by a banner Bienvenue en ville (Welcome in the city) in Stade de la Route de Lorient. Even if being judged as arrogant teasing from Rennes fans, Guingamp fans later replied with a Bienvenue chez les paysans (Welcome to farmers land) banner in Stade de Roudourou. On 9 May 2009, Guingamp, in second league at this time, and Rennes were competing for the Coupe de France title in Stade de France. Despite the level difference, Guingamp won its first title thanks to Eduardo, who scored two goals. Five years later, on 3 May 2014, the two rivals came back to Stade de France for another Coupe de France final. Guingamp won again, this time with goals from Jonathan Martins Pereira and Mustapha Yatabaré, the latter of whom won his second Coupe de France.
