The Michael Cahill Cup is awarded to the best adult club in the county, based on all the county road championships during the year. The current holders are Dundrum.

With three championships already hosted this year, Dundrum are determined to retain this cup, and they are currently leading on 325 points.

Then we have Fethard 291 points, Thurles Crokes 242 points, Clonmel 238 points, Moycarkey Coolcroo 235 points, Moyne 223 points, Mooreabbey Milers 64 points, Carrick-on-Suir 59 points, Nenagh Olympic 43 points, Templemore 29 points and Dualla Ballytarsna Boherlahan 14 points.

Clonmel AC are hosting the County Masters Road Championships this Sunday and that could have a major bearing on the destination of the cup, as there are many categories where valuable points could be won in both the women and men’s races
