G.A.A.:  Co. Cork, [Christy Ring], an award presented to the family of Christy Ring for Ireland's Hurling Top 20, with engraved plaque with hurling sliother surmounted with typical motifs; together with Ephemera relating to Patrick Hanleys Hurling & Football Club, with 'Best Wishes from Christy Ring,' as a lot.

Note:  The Award Ceremony was organised by journalist Colm Keane. The Ring Family refused to accept the award on the night. They felt that Christy Ring had been portrayed as a 'Rough' Player rather than a 'Tough' Player, therefore the award was never presented.
