Medical Services Cup
by Cpl David Cullen
O
n the 5th of June the
Medical Services Cup was
played out between the
DFTC & Athlone on McDonagh
GAA grounds. This hard fought
game went to the DFTC, who won
on a score line of 4-11 to 1-11.
This victory had special significance as it marked the completion of an unprecedented '5 in a
row', for the DFTC Ops team, in a
competition that first started in
1924. It is also worth noting that
the starting 15 consisted entirely of
Privates and Troopers from 1 MIC
and 1 ACS. The ARW provided the
squad captain who did not start
due to injury as well as one other
member of the panel.
