The cup for the All-Ireland minor hurling B championship is to be named in memory of deceased Boardsmill stalwart and Cork native Peadar Lehane.

The news was announced at Monday night's county committee meeting and was greeted with much appreciation by delegates.

T. J. Reilly said the naming of the trophy was a big honour for Meath.

Peadar was a native of Cork who immersed himself in Boardsmill and Meath hurling affairs since the early 1950's. He was a long time Treasurer of the Meath Hurling Board and amongst a host of other roles and activities Peadar acted as Meath's Leinster Council representative and was highly involved with the setting up of Cumann na mBunscol in the county. He passed away in 2012.
