PJ Casey was the father of Des Casey and the family were/are heavily involved in football in this country. He would have passed away around that time. I assume the cup
was in his memory.
It was only played once in 62/3 season - pre-season if I remember correctly. Limerick met Cork Celtic, Cork Hibs, Waterford, Bohs and Drums. I'd need to check but Drums was most likely a semi final as there were only ten teams in the league that season so 2 groups of 5 make sense. We had Celtic and Waterford at home.
I don't think it was played for again.
It may have replaced the Dublin City Cup that season but I'd have to check that.
All details are in Niall McSweeney's book (circa 85) which I cannot put my hands on but do have.
