Blake cup
The Blake Cup is a Gaelic Football tournament for primary schools in around the Dunshaughlin hinterland. It generally marks the last competitive action in the school year as Dunshaughlin GAA Grounds host the annual seven a side invitational blitz tournament in the month of June. The tournament was the brainchild of our former principal Mr. Gilligan and the cup itself is named after Dunshaughlin GAA stalwart Paddy Blake.
To ensure that most teams are in with a chance of silverware a Blake shield and a Blake plaque was added as the number of teams entering grew over the years. While the football is important, for many the highlight of the day is the feast of sandwiches, buns, crisps and drinks provided by the Dunshaughlin mothers for one and all at the end of the day.
