Cups & Trophies

Section 4.8 of the GAA’s Official Guide states that… ‘A trophy shall not be named after a living person or after any existing political or semi-political organisation. A trophy shall not be used for any commercial purposes. A cup/trophy shall not be filled with any type of alcoholic beverage’.

Glenn Brady Cup was previously presented to Minor ‘B’ Champions but is now presented to the winner of the Minor ‘A’ Championship Shield competition where the 4th and 5th place teams at the end of the league stage of the Minor ‘A’ Championship play each other in the semi-final and meet the 2nd place team in the Glenn Brady Cup final (1st and 2nd placed teams play for the Harte Cup). The previous Minor ‘C’ Championship Cup (named U-17 ‘C’ Cup) is now presented to the winner of the Minor ‘B’ Championship, while the cup presented to the winner of the Minor ‘B’ Shield is yet to be named. 

Kiernan Steel Cup base was attached to a new cup in 2023 – This cup is used for Ladies Intermediate Champion winner. The new cup used from 2023 was previously dedicated to Fr. Michael Egan (former PP of Killoe and Abbeylara) and was commissioned at some point for a competition that never happened in the end. The cup sat unused for many years and in 2023 was restored, had the Kiernan Steel Cup base attached and was used for Ladies Intermediate Championship as the Kiernan Steel Cup until 2024 when the Leah Sheridan Cup was instead used for Ladies Intermediate Championship with the Kiernan Steel Cup being repurposed for Junior A Championship instead. 

Féis Cup and Fr. Lynch Cup are both in Drumlish (the last club to with each). Fr. Lynch Cup was won three times by Drumlish and the club got to keep it.
