MacRory Cup
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The MacRory cup is an inter-college (as in school) Gaelic Football tournament in Ulster. It is staged every year with the stipulation that players must be under eighteen-and-a-half at the start of the tournament (that is, be under eighteen at the start of the school year).
The tournament has a long, and prestigious history, from when it started in 1925. Many of the biggest names in Ulster Football graduated from playing for their school in the MacRory Cup, such as Stephen O'Neill for CBS Omagh.
The final is held every year on St.Patrick's day, and along with the Ulster colleges Rugby final, is televised live on BBC Northern Ireland.
The current holders are Abbey CBS, managed by teacher, and new Antrim football manager, Jody Gormley.[1]
