CBL Oscar Traynor 2024-2025 Squad Announcement

The Oscar Traynor Inter-League Cup, which dates back to 1963, returns again in 2024 and sees Junior Leagues affiliated to the FAI submit representative league teams to participate in the competition. The Cork Business League is happy to announce that it will again have a representative team in the tournament for the second year in a row!

The management team from last season of James Corcoran (Irish Sepsis Foundation Ballyphehane Celtic) and Ross O’Sullivan (Martin Harvey Solicitors) have been given the opportunity to lead the league’s efforts in this competition again, along with the addition of Dan Hoey of O’Brien’s Scaffolding.

James said: “I’m incredibly proud to be part of the management team for the Oscar Traynor competition again this year. It’s a remarkable achievement to have been asked to contribute to this effort, and I want to extend my thanks to the Cork Business League for this opportunity. The team’s goal is to give a strong showing against tough opponents, taking on every challenge with confidence and without fear.”

New coach for this season Dan Hoey was proud to be asked and had this to say: “It has been a huge pleasure and honour to be part of the Cork Business League’s Oscar Traynor management for the 24/25 season so far. As a coach, I’m really proud to have been given this opportunity to represent the league and my club on a national stage. I’m really looking forward to the challenges ahead. We will face some stiff competition on the pitch and in the opposite dugout, but I believe in this squad, and I believe in our team of coaches. It is incredibly important for our league to have representation in this competition.”
