The trophy for the All-Ireland Masters football champions will be called the Dr Mick Loftus Cup for now on.
The former GAA president was a founder of, and a driving force, behind the provision of the football championship for Gaelic footballers of 40 years and older. The championship has been officially sanctioned by the GAA for the first time in a decade this year after the Gaelic Masters Association put in place the insurance cover required to allow them to use GAA facilities.
The Gaelic Masters Association is hosting a celebration of Dr Mick's contribution to the Masters, the GAA and Irish life in general in his home club of Crossmolina Deel Rovers, Co. Mayo next Saturday, June 8 at 7pm.
All are welcome to attend.
