SCHOOLS BATTLE IT OUT<br />
FOR GARRETT FITZGERALD CUP<br />
In 2021/22, the Pinergy Munster Schools<br />
Senior Cup trophy was officially named the<br />
Garrett Fitzgerald Cup as a fitting tribute<br />
and acknowledgement of the former CEO’s<br />
contribution to the schools’ game in the<br />
province.<br />
Fitzgerald, who passed away in February<br />
2020, was at the helm of Munster Rugby<br />
for twenty years and prior to that held<br />
numerous coaching roles across schools,<br />
club, and representative sides.<br />
As a player he won a Munster Schools<br />
Senior Cup with CBC in 1971 and later<br />
coached the school to a total of five Munster<br />
Senior Cup titles guiding teams during a<br />
highly successful period when claiming four<br />
successive Senior Cups from 1997 to 2000.<br />
CBC remain the only school to hold this<br />
honour having previously achieved the feat<br />
in the 1970s.<br />
In November 2021, Garrett’s wife Áine<br />
O’Donnell and daughter Megan attended<br />
an honorary event at the school recognising<br />
the four-in-a-row success and fittingly the<br />
Schools Senior Cup from that period, and<br />
the now christened Garrett Fitzgerald Cup,<br />
were both on display.<br />
Commenting on the cup<br />
recognition, Áine O’Donnell<br />
said, “Having this historic cup<br />
named after Garrett is a lovely<br />
tribute to what he achieved<br />
and to remember what the schools’ game,<br />
and the grassroots game overall, meant to<br />
him.<br />
“He was a huge believer in young people<br />
and wanting them to reach their potential.<br />
Winning this cup recognises excellence<br />
and achieving one’s potential and having<br />
Garrett’s name associated with it is a huge<br />
honour.”<br />
