Teams battle for Mulcahy memorial trophy

There is a brand new trophy for the Avonmore Munster Schools’ Junior Cup winners this season, the silverware presented by Castletroy College, winners of the double in 2008.

The tragic death some months ago of teacher and coach of the junior team that season, Eamonn Mulcahy, led to the offer and acceptance from the Munster Branch of a gleaming new memorial trophy.

In today’s semi-final at Dooradoyle (3.30pm), Castletroy attempt to put another one over on their Cork rivals, Christian Brothers College, whom they defeated in the Under-15 McCarthy Cup final last season.
