Kelleher plan for naming of cups

The author of a new book on the history behind GAA’s major cups and trophies has called on the Munster Council to name the province’s senior football and hurling competitions after deceased Gaels.

Former Dublin hurling boss Humphrey Kelleher, who on Tuesday night launched Family Silver in Croke Park, believes the GAA need to review the names and conditions of the silverware currently presented to winning teams.

The GAA’s Official Guide states no trophy can be called after a living person and the Munster senior championships as well as the junior football competition are currently unattached to any individual.
