Aidan Coyle Memorial Cup

Pairc Naomh Mhuire has played host to some legendary games since it officially opened in 1991 but nothing can compare to the epic battle that took place last Saturday evening when our victorious Dr. Ward Cup team of 1996 came out of retirement to take on the current panel of players and they certainly gave the large crowd plenty of excitement and entertainment. The game itself was evenly contested throughout with both teams displaying some fine passages of football but in the end the experience and craftiness, plus a “little” help from the man in the middle, saw the Dr. Ward Cup team of 1996 achieve a narrow victory on a score-line 2-15 to 3-10. After the game Gerry Coyle presented the Aidan Coyle Memorial Cup to the winning captain Kieran McCormill and later that night we enjoyed a fabulous barbeque and a wonderful night’s entertainment in St. Mary’s Hall. Just as a matter of interest has anyone seen Nicky since the match!!!
