The Bill O'Herlihy Cup

The Bill O'Herlihy Cup is an annual five-a-side football match held every year between The College View and DCUfm. The game is a yearly tradition each April at Dublin City University between the rival student newspaper and radio station. Founded in 2010, the game is named after broadcaster and journalist Bill O'Herlihy. The Cork native covered numerous World Cups, European Championships and Olympic Games for RTÉ and is considered one of the greatest-ever Irish sports broadcasters. O'Herlihy died in May 2015. The Bill O'Herlihy Cup was named in his honour. O'Herlihy presented the trophy on one occasion during a visit to Dublin City University and was interviewed by DCUfm about his career in media and broadcasting afterwards.
