Id go with Glasheen aswell, but i think it was the FAI Minor Cup that they won. They went undefeated the same year. Late 50s i think.
Evergreen 1936
Top of the class Oldlegs. St.Michaels Tipperary won the F.A.I. Junior Cup in 1974. At the time they were in the Cork A.U.L. and in fact that year they also won the Cork A.U.L. Premier league. They joined in 1968/69 season and left in the 80's when the TSDL was formed. They thoroughly enjoyed their time in Cork, (they won the A.O.H. cup in 1971), and to show their appreciation presented a trophy, the St.Michaels Cup, which I think is still in existence. Saints made up for the Cork A.U.L. disappointment of 1972 when a fancied St.Marys were expected to win the F.A.I. Junior Cup but were beaten 3-1 in the final by Talbot Utd (Dublin). Have shown my age now but let me tell ye I have many fond and happy memories of playing in the Cork A.U.L.
You played in that final ?

Rockville were last cork area as far im aware temple last team to get to final 85 ive been told
No. Was in the dugout. In those days it was 11 players and a '12th man' - just one sub allowed. Some buzz winning that day. Did wonders for Tipperary Town. Population explosion. People wonder how did St.Michaels win so many Munster Youths Cups and F.A.I. Youth Cups 18 years later but shur it was the knock-on offspring from win in 1974. Did my best too but it was a girl. By the way the teams in the Cork A.U.L. premier division then were Castleview, St. Marys, Everton, Cobh Ramblers, Wembley, Greenmount Rangers, Mallow, Ringmahon Rangers. Most teams played in corporation grounds at Church Road where there were four pitches but no grass. Castlview were tough - still have marks to prove this.
Coachford 5 win's from 5games 27 for and only 3 against they're looking very strong . Pearse 3 wins and a draw 13 for and 3 against great runs in cup nice side then Killumney 3 win's from 3 11 goals for and 2 against . Looking like a 3 horse race. The games against each other will decide where league ends up this year . That's my view![]()
I'd say a lot was left go back in them days .
