The tournament was first started by the cumann in 2005 to honour Joe Cahill, who died in 2004, a lifelong republican, who dedicated his young years to the struggle of the IRA, and in later years was a key component of Sinn Féin's peace stategy and negotiations team. The cumann will host this event in the new year, and will be inviting teams of 5 to compete from students of DKIT, with the eventual winners being presented with the Joe Cahill Cup.
Commenting on the announcement, organiser Ross Hallinan called on all DKIT students to submit a team to this event, declaring.
"It is an honour for us to organise such an event to commemorate the life of such a great republican as Joe Cahill. I call on all students to actively participate in this event, and Ógra activists to support it by keeping up to date with our blog."
"The cumann will also hold a tournament for those teams who lose their first competitive matches, hence guaranteeing at least 2 games for all participants, with the eventual winners of the runners up group being presented with the Tom Williams memorial shield, honouring brave IRA volunteer who gave his young life for the struggle, aged only 19 years."
