GAC
pulls plug on Hastings Cup - 13/12/02
Taken from Hoganstand.com
The GAC has pulled the plug on this season's
Hastings Cup under 21 football competition, hoganstand.com
can exclusively reveal. Having been granted a reprieve last
year, the competition has been wiped off the GAA calendar
for 2003 due to a clash with the Sigerson Cup and other
third level competitions. Run under the auspices of the
Longford county board, the Hastings Cup had become an important
part of preparations for many counties competing in the
under 21 championship.
This year's competition was to be the biggest
yet with 25 counties - including team like Down, Armagh,
Tyrone and Cork - taking part. Originally, the Hastings
Cup was made up of teams from the midlands area, but had
grown to the extent that teams from all four provinces were
represented.
The first round of games were scheduled
to take place on Saturday week, December 21, but frustrated
under 21 managers must now look elsewhere for games ahead
of the commencement of the championship in March.
