B. E. A. Cup

John Loughran has written to update the page on the British European Airways Cup here, which had not been updated since 2016. In addition to adding recent winners, John corrected the entry for 1992, which was previously “Jobstown (?)”, to Elm Mount, based on the winner engraved on the trophy.

John is having the trophy repaired and the names of all winners added, and he provided a photo, for which many thanks:

B. E. A. Cup, April 2016

The page as originally posted and as updated by John had some gaps, denoting years where no one seems to know who won. However, after consulting the archives I received from John Gibson, I am able to fill one of these gaps: Finglas won in 1992-93.

Finally, I stated in the original post introducing the page here that I had never played in the B. E. A. Cup myself. This turns out not to be true, and in fact I made my Leinster Leagues début in this competition. Gerard O’Connell reminded me that I was invited to fill in as a sub for Sandymount in one match sometime in the mid-1970’s, when I was 10 or 11, and managed to draw.
