Underage grades 1950's

Wondering would anyone here have knowledge of what grades or age groups were available to underage players in the 1950's Was it just u14 and minor once you left primary school?

A somewhat old post, but have only seen it now. Can only speak for my own county of Wexford, but the different age grades here were introduced as follows:
Minor (U18) - way back in the early 1900s, but not run every single year during the first few decades
Juvenile (U16) - started in 1943
U14 & U12 - both started in 1971
