The children at St Malachy’s Primary School, Armagh were treated to a very special assembly for their first day back to school last week.
Special guests Armagh Manager Kieran McGeeney; wife and team physio Maura McGeeney, who’s children attend the school; player and past pupil, Joe ‘The Block’ McElroy; County Chairperson Paul McArdle and Father Barry greeted pupils, staff, parents, grandparents and guardians in the assembly hall.
And they didn’t come empty handed! The Sam Maguire Cup took up pride of place, front and centre.
The Irish chart ranked ‘G for Geezer’ rang out and the county-colour decorated hall filled with the sound of clapping and singing as the esteemed guests took their seats.
Father Barry then led the assembly with a prayer and welcomed pupils on their first day back to school.
School Principal Mr Paul Duggan also took the time to praise P7 teacher Ciaran McKinney for his work as the Armagh County Coach and for his help in supporting the Armagh goalkeepers.
Joe even took the time to sign a few jerseys!
