What's the story?
The Bob Kerr Trophy
The prize for winners of the Irish Senior Cup is to see their name engraved on the most coveted prize in club cricket, the Bob Kerr Trophy.
Bob Kerr was Chairman of the Irish Cricket Union 2000-02 and president in 2004. He was a retired headmaster and a founder member and long-serving player with North Fermanagh.
Bob was a much-loved member of the cricketing community and it was a shock to his many friends and admirers when he died in Jamaica in 2007 just as Ireland’s players qualified for the World Cup Super-Eights. It was fitting too, as Bob had worked hard to bring Ireland to that place and would have enjoyed the journey they have taken since.
President Mary McAleese phoned the Irish party in the Caribbean to offer her sympathies, saying “Bob Kerr was a great champion of Irish cricket.”
In his honour, the Irish Senior Cup was renamed the Bob Kerr Trophy and that name will be attached to the prize for evermore.
- “I suppose the Cup’s a bit extra special because you come up against sides that you wouldn’t play year in, year out. So, we’d be used to playing sides in Munster and also Leinster. But when you come up against sides in the north, it gives you an extra opportunity to play against players that you wouldn’t. To win the Bob Kerr Trophy would be an absolute dream. We’ve only gone past the first and second rounds a couple of times in our history. So, to put together a run like that would be absolutely amazing.”

It’s probably one of the highest standards you will play in club cricket in Ireland and it’s very enjoyable. For Waringstown there’s a lot of history, we’ve won the Cup six times – I think that might be the most out of any club in Ireland. Unfortunately, I’ve never participated in a win myself, but it’s definitely something I want to do during my playing career.”
