This afternoon, the boys and girls of Tooreen were lucky enough to get their hands on the O'Duffy Cup. This cup is presented to the All Ireland Senior Camogie Champions each year. Cork are the current holders of this cup, after beating Galway in the 2015 All Ireland final.
Cork have won this cup 26 times, a record they share with Dublin.
The cup is named after Seán O' Duffy (1885 - 1980), a Mayo man, born in Killawalla, Westport. Sean O' Duffy worked hard to establish the Camogie Association and promote the game across the country.
Mayo contested the All-Ireland final back in 1959, however lost out to Dublin.
Let's hope the O'Duffy Cup finds its way back to Mayo, and Tooreen, in the years to come!
