History of the D.P. Smyth Trophy 

The “D.P. Smyth” trophy was presented over twenty five years ago by the family of Dermot Smyth to the Rugby Club to be used as a J5 Cup. The first competition was played in 2000. Dermot was a past pupil of St Mary’s College and was captain of their first ever JCT win in 1934. He went on to captain the Rugby Club (1939 – 41) during which he won 2 caps for Leinster (1940). He was elected President of the Rugby Club (1960 – 63). As well as President of the Leinster Branch he was also an Irish Selector and served on many committees over the years. Dermot’s two sons, son in law and four grandsons have all played for St Mary’s College in recent years. His great grandson (Tim) also plays for the club, marking 4 generations to have worn blue for St Mary’s College RFC.
