Mondays!!!

I think someone got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning.....do you know who he is????

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.....

The Showcase will feature young members from youth clubs and recreational centres from Kilbarrack, Poppintree, Ballybough, Summerhill, Donneycarney, Pearse St, Sheriff St, Ringsend, Cabra and Rialto. These boys and girls have progressed through our Bronze, Silver and Gold 'StartBox' Programmes and have worked very hard to reach this point. They deserve our support.
