Sam Maguire made the big trip down from Dublin to O’Dempseys GAA recently.
The All-Ireland trophy was right at home with the 50 children and their parents in the O’Dempsey’s clubhouse.
Chairman of O’Dempsey’s juveniles Tommy Fallon explained how they managed to get the 90 year old cup down to Killenard for the day.
“One of the stats men for Dublin footballers, Jonathan Courtney, is the father of Stephen Courtney, who mentors here in O’Dempsey’s,” said Tommy.
Delighted with the cup
“They were are delighted to be lifting it. Some of the children couldn’t get over how heavy it was!” laughed Tommy.
The cup came and went and hopefully it’s not the last time these bright young stars of the future get to lift the Sam Maguire in their lifetimes.
