The opening of the 1922 cricket season took place on 8 May. This was between Dublin University and the RHMS, but it was the last recorded game for the Royal Hibernian Military School. That was the year the staff and pupils of the school left the Phoenix Park for their new quarters Shorncliffe, Kent, following the creation of the Republic of Ireland.

A British Pathe news item has come to light which records the opening of the 1922 cricket season. This is available for viewing at the British Pathé site under the title 'Cricket season opens', reference number BP080522344021 and ID3440.21.

The news clip is the only known moving picture of the Royal Hibernian Military School in action. It includes a commentary of the opening match at College Park, Dublin, and shows various shots of the cricket match underway. There are close-up views of the batsman and wicketkeeper at the wicket: the batsman hits the ball behind him and starts making runs. Another close-up shot shows a batsman being bowled out as the ball strikes the wickets. Good action. Check out the British Pathé site.
