Caoimhe Scanlon and her dad Kevin's usual boys in blue wear the Cloughaneely colours and this morning they had a chance meeting with the new All-Ireland champions Dublin at Crumlin Children's Hospital

Falcarragh’s Caoimhe Scanlon got a surprise on Monday morning in Dublin as they bumped into Sam Maguire.

Cloughaneely supporter Caoimhe, who is now five, has been attending Crumlin Children's Hospital with her parents Kevin and Eibhlin since she was born and was in for a final checkup following an operation in May. And as luck would have it, they met representatives from the Dublin side who won the All-Ireland SFC on Sunday, who were visiting the hospital.placeholder image

Dublin defeated Kerry on Sunday 1-15 to 1-13 to win Sam Maguire for the 31st time.
