Thirteen years later: Seamus Callanan's Leaving Cert woodwork project comes in handy

September 04, 2019

Seamus Callanan is presented with his Leaving Cert woodwork project at St Joseph's College, Borrisoleigh.

For his Leaving Cert woodwork project at St Joseph's College, Borrisoleigh in 2006, Seamus Callanan had the right idea!

He made a display cabinet and on Monday, the Tipperary All-Ireland winning captain returned to his former secondary school with the perfect fit for it - the Liam MacCarthy Cup.

The Borrisoleigh school revealed on Facebook that Callanan's old woodwork teacher Mr. Halpin had stored the cabinet for the Drom-Inch man just in case he ever went on to win the All-Ireland title. 

Callanan was presented with the Leaving Cert woodwork project by Kevin McCarthy, Principal of St Joseph's College.

Tipp's 2016 All-Ireland winning captain Brendan Maher and wing forward Dan McCormack are also past pupils of St Joseph's.
