As has become their yearly tradition, some of the Dublin footballers brought their celebrations and their trophy to see the children in Temple Street and Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin earlier today.
Jim Gavin, Philly McMahon, James McCarthy, and Mick Fitzsimons were among the Dubs to brighten the day for the patients and their families. As always though, Sam Maguire himself was the star of the show.
