In response to a recent appeal by the Tipperary County Board of Comhaltas, the local Powerstown / Lisronagh branch of the organisation took upon itself to donate a fine new trophy for presentation at the County Fleadh competitions.
To honour the strong dancing tradition on which the branch was founded back in the late 1980’s, the award was made for the 4-hand Mixed Ceili Dance competition, 15-18yrs.
The Phelan Cup has been named after John Phelan who was a founder member of Powerstown/Lisronagh when it was set up as the second branch of Comhaltas in the Clonmel area at the time and was responsible for bringing the All-Ireland Fleadh to the town for three years in the early 1990’s and for two years in 2003/ 2004.
