The name of Tipperary football legend Philly Ryan will be remembered for generations to come thanks to the initiative of his beloved club, Clonmel Commercials, who have presented the Tipperary County Board with a new county senior football cup named in his memory.
From this year, the new Philly Ryan Cup will be presented to the county champions, ensuring that his legacy will live on for decades to come.
The cup was presented at a gathering at the Talbot Hotel Clonmel.
Philly, who was manager of the Tipperary football team, passed away on October 18 last year.
