Sam in Sheriffer!!!!!

Samuel ("Sam") Maguire (1879 - 6 February 1927), Gaelic footballer, is chiefly remembered for Sam Maguire Cup, given to the All-Ireland Senior Champions of Gaelic football.
The Sam Maguire Cup was designed and presented to the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1928 in his honour after his death in 1927. The cup cost £300 in 1928 (equivalent to €26,395 now).
It was made by Hopkins and Hopkins of O'Connell's bridge after it had been commissioned by the committee under the chairmanship of Dr Pat McCartan. Kildare was the first county to win the Sam Maguire cup after defeating Cavan 2-6 to 2-5 in 1928.
The cup was replaced in 1988, Meath being the first recipient of "Sam Óg" after a defeat of Cork. Kerry were the 2009 holders of the Sam Maguire Cup, following their defeat of Cork (0-16 to 1-9) whilst the Sam Maguire has finally gone home to Co. Cork in 2010, beating Co. Down 0-16 to 0-15.
And after a 16 year wait, Dublin brought Sam back to the shores of the Liffey on the 18th September, 2011. Dublin defeated Kerry 1-12 to 1-11.
Here's what happened when it arrived in the Community Hall in Sheriff Street.....

Celebrating Larriers Garandparents Day!!!!


Grandparents Day was 25th September. So we asked all the Larriers lads to nominate a grandparent and give a reason why. One grandparent was chosen from each class, which was a very hard task as there seems to be some amazing grandparents out there. So, these are the great things the boys said about their WONDERFUL grandparents .....
2nd Class - They could have showed me places that I never saw before.
3rd Class - You're my nanny, you make me feel happy and I just love you.

4th Class - She always minds me and she always gives me stuff and she loves me.
5th Class -She does everything for me and around the house. She helps me with the dog.
6th Class - The thing I love about my nanny is that she used to always make custard and it was lovely.
Here are some of our other nominees......
