DSCN0596The FAI cup was kidnapped in Dromiskin as it made its way down to Dundalk for an appearance on RTE with Tony O Donaghue and a press conference in Oriel Park later on!! This was in preparation for the showcase Irish Daily Mail, FAI cup final which takes place in the Aviva Stadium on Sunday 8th November. League champions and local heroes Dundalk take on Cork City in this eagerly awaited showdown between two of the Irish league’s top teams.

In charge of the cup was parent and FAI Communication manager, Gerry Mc Dermott. Gerry very kindly dropped the cup off for a couple of hours much to the delight of the children and staff of St. Peter’s. Pictures were taken with all the classes and also with children who have secured tickets for Sunday’s final. Some of the older children were delighted to get their hands on the impressive and substantial trophy.

We hope that Dundalk’s captain, Stephen Mc Donnell, has a similar honour on Sunday evening!!

Many thanks Gerry, from all in the school, for your kind gesture.
