The CMHS front office has downplayed accusations of mis-care and negligence in the possession of the famed Founders Cup. The CMH Director of Rugby replied unequivocally that; "The Cup remains safely in our trophy case. No harm will come to it." Curiously, the release also references a noted local rugby historian who points out that "a talisman of such reverence and historical value is bound to acquire a few scuffs along the way, only adding to its unique and long-standing value." Some might be left to ponder, "What would the F-Cup be without a few distinctive dings?"
The founders Cup has become something akin to the Lumberjack Axe, exchanged by the Wisconsin and Minnesota football teams for over a hundred years. Sources have learned that some CMHS officials are audaciously planning a permanent display of the Cup, hinting strongly that they never intend to relinquish possession of the vaunted pewter cup.
One daring sports photographer was able to surreptitiously obtain a recent photo of the Founders Cup. Judge for yourself.
If the dispute escalates, it may be necessary for the parties to exercise the arbitration clause contained in the Irishfest Accords, which set forth the terms of competition for the trophy. The Accords call for binding arbitration between the parties to be held on the grounds of Millennium Stadium. Officials from BBRFC have expressed their dissatisfaction with the picture, which they believe was intentionally lit in such a way as to minimize the damage. BBRFC Officials added "We are shocked and appalled that CHHS would consider investing in a permanent addition to its trophy case to house this treasure which will surely only be in their possession for a matter of months."

The evidence is plain for all to see. Either through negligence or willfull mischief the beloved Founders Cup has clearly aged beyond it's nearly one year of existence. This must be avenged. No Court or Arbitor can provide the necessary justice. This can and will, only be won on the pitch. This then becomes the responsibility, and duty of all those affiliated with the BBRFC, to regain the possession of this precious cup and all that it stands for. Surely regaining possession of this wonderous cup is the only thing that will restore some of it lost lustrous beauty.
