SAM MAGUIRE visits the Infant School.
There was great excitement in the school when two members of the 2011 DUBLIN FOOTBALL TEAM brought the precious SAM MAGUIRE cup to the Mourne Road schools. All our classes came to the hall today Wednesday 1st February and cheered the team and we took lots of photos with the cup, Some lucky children also got to ask the players some very important questions. Many parents joined us in the hall for the celebrations.
