Despite much recent controversy about the omission of the fabled John 'Scan' Concannon from the team, the honouring of Saint Jarlath's of Tuam Hogan Cup 'All Stars' was a most enjoyable occasion.

Gerry Buckley, author of the acclaimed history of the first fifty years of the 'Hogan' was on hand to present a plaque culpted by Genesis Fine Arts, Mullingar, to honour the school's twelve Hogan Cup victories.
