Sam safely back in Kingdom after gala scare

KERRY may have ran away with the Sam Maguire in September, but according to reports in London, a few Corkmen tried to do the same thing there.

According to the Irish Post, the country’s most famous sports trophy was the guest of honour at the Kerry Association Ball in Cricklewood, London last week when the alleged attempted abduction occurred.

One of the guests, John Heaphy, was making his way home by taxi, when he noticed three people — two men and a woman — leaving the hotel with the cup.
