The captains of all Offaly senior hurling championship winning sides of the past half century will be the guests of honour at the 2010 decider between Tullamore and Coolderry on Sunday.

The Sean Robbins Cup was first presented in 1960, when Drumcullen's Paddy Molloy was the winning captain, and as recognition of the cup's 50th anniversary, all the victorious captains have been invited to O'Connor Park in Tullamore this Sunday (October 17th).

The winning captains include such stars of the past as Pat Joe Whelahan (St Rynagh's, 1975), Martin Hanamy (St Rynagh's, 1990), Brian Whelahan (Birr, 1991 & 2007), Johnny Pilkington (Birr, 1994), Joe Dooley (Seir Keiran, 1995) and Kevin Kinahan (Seir Keiran, 1998).

Among those who are sadly deceased are Gerry Burke, who lifted the Sean Robbins Cup as St Rynagh's captain in 1968, and Coolderry's winning captain in 1980, Pat Carroll.

Brendan Loughnane of Coolderry is the only man to have captained three Sean Robbins Cup-winning teams, between 1961 and '63, while St Rynagh's pair Padraig Horan and Aidan Fogarty and Birr's Brian Whelahan were all winning captains on two occasions.
