GAA honours McCarthy Cup captains

THE largest gathering of winning All-Ireland hurling final captains will convene in Ballygarvan, Co Cork, tomorrow, when the GAA will honour all of the survivors in a fitting manner.

It’s the sequel to the promotion of Sam Maguire Cup captains organised a year ago in Dunmanway, the home place of Sam Maguire.

Organised by the association’s Social and Awards Committee established by Seán Kelly on his accession to the presidency of the association, it will be marked by presentations of replica Waterford Crystal trophies to the surviving captains and their representatives.
