The dates and fixtures for this years Humphrey Cup have been announced. The annual tournament will take place on 27th and 28th December in the Iveagh Grounds
While Dubliners are getting ready to decide how best to celebrate Christmas, St James Gaels are making plans to ensure we will have a feast of Christmas football in the Iveagh Grounds on 27 and 28 December next. On those dates the Crumlin Road venue will showcase the cream of under 10 talent in Dublin football in the annual John Humphrey memorial cup hosted by St James Gaels.
The competition is held in memory of John Humphrey, a young St James Gaels player, who died tragically some years ago. Generously sponsored by John’s family the tournament is a fitting tribute to the memory of a young boy for whom sport played such a major part in his short life.
Gaels Chairman Billy Hannigan said that the event is “the most special event in the club’s calendar” and he paid particular tribute to Paul Flanagan and the Humphrey family for all the time and effort they put into making it such a prestigious competition. “We hope that all of the young players will enjoy their time with us at the competition. While every team likes to win the most important thing about this event is that everybody approaches it in a spirit that makes sport a winner.”
