Trophy

The trophy is called The Ian McCullough Memorial Cup. It was donated by a well-known family in Northern Ireland hockey circles, in memory of their son Ian.[1]

Ian (full name - John Truesdale McCullough) was a 15 year old Newry Grammar School pupil. He was accidentally killed after being struck by a hockey ball during a match against Royal Belfast Academical Institution at Bladon Drive on 3 December 1960.[2]

Teams

The teams that compete for this trophy are the strongest boys first teams from schools in Ulster. All players must be under 18 on 1 July at the start of the year of the competition. Fourteen teams from thirteen schools competed for the trophy in the 2010-11 season.

Format

The competition started out as a straight knockout event with the first winners being the defunct Bushmills Grammar School. However it was soon decided to move all matches to the winter term, with a league format introduced to provide all schools with a guaranteed number of fixtures.

Under the current format, all teams are divided into two Pools, with each school playing all the other schools in their Pool once. The top two teams from each pool qualify for the semi-finals.

In the semi-finals the teams in first place in the Pools play the second place teams from the alternate Pools.

The winners of the semi-final ties contest the Final which is usually played at a neutral venue on the second Wednesday in December.
