Munster Cup resurfaces in Kerry after 40 years missing

The Munster Cup, which went missing in 1983, resurfaced at the home of John Egan's parents in Sneem. It was found in a box on August 28, weeks after Cork was presented with a random trophy during the Munster final. Kerry officials had been unaware of the cup's absence until it was discovered. The situation caused embarrassment, especially for captain Christy Ryan, who had to accept a different trophy during the presentation. The cup's disappearance was attributed to a lack of attention towards it in Kerry, following their disappointment after losing a previous championship. Similar incidents involving lost trophies have occurred in Kerry's history.
