Tá áthas orm an corainn seo a glacadh

A MINIATURE Sam Maguire or Liam McCarthy Cup could be dangling from your Christmas tree next December if the GAA has its way.

The association has applied to the Patents Office to have both trophies registered as trademarks and has specifically sought permission to allow it license the production of miniature cups as Christmas tree decorations.

If, as expected, the applications are successful, the blazing emblems of All-Ireland glory will also adorn jewellery, books, clothes, games and household ornaments.
