This tournament commemorates Gerry Reilly who died tragically in December '87 at 16 years of age, and he had already proved to be a great footballer with huge potential to go on to great heights in the game. The competition has proved a great success in providing a platform to launch inter-county football careers. So many players have made it all the way to represent their senior county teams at the highest level. Indeed many went on to be Football All-Stars
