Mick Cashman Cup Finals.

These finals were played off at Church Road on Saturday 20th September in brilliant Autumnal sunshine. The Plate final was an absolute thriller with Ballinhassig just edging out a very game Eire Og team on the scoreline of 3 – 1 to 1 – 2. Ballinhassig were the very first winners of the Mick Cashman Cup when it was first launched 6 years ago.

The Cup Final brought together the two Blackrock teams who had victory over the Sarsfields teams in the semi final. To be fair, due to a clash of fixtures Sars could not field their full under 10 teams teams, but to their absolute credit the club fulfilled both fixtures with excellent teams who were a credit to the new County champions.

The Rockies edged out Blackrock in a pulsating Cup Final and Captain Mark O’Leary was one proud young man as he received the prestigious trophy from Ann Cashman on Saturday evening.
