All Ireland winner Ciaran Higgins, who has family connections with Glenravel, brought the Sam Maguire Cup to the Con Magees club on Sunday. It was a day that will live long in the memory of young and old as they queued to get their hands on the iconic trophy.
22 years since Sam last made an appearance in the parish but I’m not sure that it ever received such a warm welcome as it did on Sunday. The club was packed to capacity and the excitement on the children’s faces was a sight to behold. Family photos with Sam was the order of the day and memories that will be cherished for years to come.
There were two signed Armagh jerseys up for grabs and these were won by young Callaí Mc Toal and by Paul Hughes.
Thanks to Armagh for facilitating the event and to Ciaran Higgins for his time and patience throughout the day.
