Are my eyes deceiving me? Did the GAA put the name of the Division 1 trophy up for tender rather then name it after someone of important to the GAA? "The New Ireland Cup" it's been referred to which is an investment company based in Balbriggan. Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 01/04/2019 17:57:05 2177053 Link 3 |

A pity they don't sell more naming rights than Kingspan Breffni and use it to improve the standards in so-called weaker counties. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7290 - 02/04/2019 13:06:26 2177254 Link 3 |
I think no cup or tournament should be named after people PyatPree (Cork) - Posts: 376 - 02/04/2019 14:08:24 2177277 Link 0 |
Maybe it has changed but the league trophy was known as the Irish National Insurance Cup and always was as far as I am aware. Hadn't heard the new name mentioned. Greenfield (Meath) - Posts: 522 - 02/04/2019 14:55:38 2177294 Link 0 |

Glennon Brothers' Pearce Park, Anglo Celt Cup, isn't McHale Park officially known as Elvery's McHale Park? Plenty of grounds and tournaments/cups names after companies and sponsors. No harm either. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 4978 - 02/04/2019 15:07:43 2177299 Link 0 |
